Confession Thursday:
So what they discovered last year when I had surgery is that it wasn't endo, it's not a hernia (although I do I have small one which they cannot repair, the type that probably happens during development when the whatever never seals all the way), but it's my oversized uterus becoming even more oversized during my period and then crushing the nerve that goes down into my left leg that destroys me each month.
So with this crushed nerve you have to treat the nerve with things that effect nerves, which ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not. What they give you for this type of pain management is something called gabapentin which is mostly used as an anti-seizure and sometimes as an anti-anxiety drug when used with other meds.
While it does help with the pain, it also has the nice side effect of increasing my concentration skills. Nothing too intense, just able to stay on task much easier than I can the rest of the month. It's pleasant.
I'm also supposed to take northriptyline for the pain at bedtime to deal with waking up in the middle of the night pain which also happens around this time of the month so I can get a good night sleep, but I don't think it works so I don't take it since it's an anti-depressant and no need to mess with your brain if you don't think it's doing anything.
There's also the percocet to deal with the break through pain, which I usually only need for a day or two. That's good for the "well I'm still in pain but I no longer care" treatment. Also means I have a nice couple of days of concentration AND a peaceful state.
Which is good because even with the 8-12 Lysteda I take a day as not to bleed myself into anemia, it's nice not to care about tenth maxipad of the day and churn out a bunch of work.
Anyway, this was just a long walk to say that we're poorly designed and in a thousand years I hope women are able to just get a new uterus each month because by then body parts will be modular.
The RSS Reader Reader's Lament
Um, who is this bitch? I am not going to keep open 30 tabs to see when my friend's young adult fiction blog updates.
Though I guess I should look at my life and look at my choices.
(via thisisareallybadidea)
Is it wrong that I keep hoping Google will change their mind on this? I mean, I held out the same hope for the GReader ShareBros and that didn't work out, but how could they be so shortsighted about this one?
What would make for a satisfying second-screen experience? That's something I've thought a lot about during the past month, especially in regard to the network-branded second-screen apps, which could be offering much more value than they are now.
When Lost was on the air, I used to listen to every podcast and watch every video-blog that the show's producers released. If that had all been packaged into an app that I could've fiddled with while watching the show, I would've suffered through all the commercials to get it.
But this is crucial: I would not have wanted any such Lost app to be functional for only one hour a week. The kind of ephemera in [a] second-screen app is great for a second viewing; it'd be way too distracting to keep up with while watching the movie the first time. So it goes with TV: Using a second-screen app to carry on conversations, take polls, and consume trivia while watching a new episode hardly seems like what the actual creators of the show had in mind."—
Noel Murray at Grantland sort of backs into a revelation about the future of TV: when you have an app that augments a television show, you have to start thinking about the user experience of that television show, just as you would the UX of an app. And he raises an important question: who should be the person in charge of a TV show's UX? The creator of the show or a network marketing guy? I imagine some showrunners will take control of this auxiliary means of storytelling, and some won't give a shit.
One thing Noel Murray is 100% right about: second screen apps would be absolutely amazing for any story that is built upon lore. There are just some shows that make you want to fall down a rabbit hole.

To keep in mind & sight
Respect the process:
Remember that there is no pride or honour in rushing into things just for the result. The satisfaction will be temporary and not worth it. Although the process is sometimes long, painful and energy consuming, it is necessary. Remember the feeling of getting a good grade on an exam you studied super hard for, you worked hard for that grade and the success belongs to you and you alone. No one can take that away from you. Well its the same thing in life. RIght now I am trying to break the pattern I've created about being in a relationship. I took the courage to break up with someone with whom I was comfortable because I know that if I truly want to be happy and have a fulfilling relationship I need to be okay with myself before I can accept someone else's love. The process sucks trust me. Its lonely, it's hard, and its really tempting. But its the only way. I am such an impatient person too - I want everything to be okay right fucking now and I usually know where I want to be and how I want to feel but it just doesn't work that way and I learnt that the hard way. Without the process you'll never be ready for what you want. Even though you understand something intellectually doesn't mean you feel it emotionally. And thats hard. Respect the process
Right and … right?:
Stuff is new right now. Progress is one step forward two steps back right? Sometimes I feel like Im going to make a mistake and then fall back into a downward spiral and then just start the whole pattern again. But its important to remember how far i've come and that the process can't be undone because that is what taught me the ways of where I am right now. I am stuck wanting to be more carefree and have less anxiety and just go with the fucking flow but Im just not there yet I guess and I can't just go out on the fucking town and make out with everyone and have a one night stand and get super wasted and then not feel terrible about it the next day? It doesn't make sense you know.. Im figuring out where the line is between right and wrong, what Im okay with and what I can't accept. Its a process that takes time and mistakes. I think its important to keep in mind that whatever happens, happens. In the end it'll be okay you know? Everything is a learning experience and just as long as I make my own decisions, respect the process and am not too hard on myself for feeling out situations.. It'll be okay. I mean, I can't know what I'm okay with if I don't try right? As long as its not heroine I'm all good.
Automatic writing #2
Automatic writing is writing allegedly directed by a spirit or by the unconscious mind. It is sometimes called "trance" writing because it is done quickly and without judgment, writing whatever comes to mind, "without consciousness," as if in a trance. It is believed that this allows one to tap into the subconscious mind, where "the true self" dwells. Trance writing is also used by some psychotherapists who think it is a quick way to release repressed memories.
I just want to write to free myself from all these feelings that don't have their place. When I am inside my own head (always) it's really difficult to decide if I am too hard on myself or if I really do deserve all the pressure. I feel mostly immense feelings of guilt and I truly believe guilt is one of those feelings that fills you to the brim and doesn't leave space for anything else. I am constantly asking myself why I feel guilty because honestly I don't think I've done anything wrong. I am doing my best to give myself what I need, may it be time, or space, or respect and maybe that's the problem you know? The guilt comes when I feel like I've been selfish… That Im only listening to myself and forgetting I have a role to fulfill. I am a sister, a daughter, a girlfriend… I think the thing is that there are some things that are really hard to do all at once. Like I have been making major efforts to be true to myself, to really put myself first and listen to what I need but what happens when your mind is telling you something so crazy but your way too scared you know? For example you know you're unhappy in a certain situation but the chore of dealing with the pain of what ensues if you change the situation is really hard to deal with you know? It's good now, I am familiar with this, I am dealing. But making a major change in my life and knowing it's gunna hurt you know isn't easy. Which takes me back to the beginning, I feel guilty, lazy etc.

(via lovealways--k)
You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger's bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn't get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you're closed off now, you can only imagine what you'll be like later.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Justin Bannan
Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:17 pm Lions released DT Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bannan, 34, played 29 snaps the first three weeks after being signed in mid-August. The 13-year veteran is nearing the end of the line.
Source: Tim Twentyman on Twitter
Thu Aug 15, 2013 7:36 pm Lions signed DT Justin Bannan, formerly of the Broncos.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bannan, 34, visited the Lions nearly a month ago. He started 15 games for Denver last season, racking up 42 tackles. Bannan will provide veteran depth.
Source: Mike Klis on Twitter
Mon Jul 22, 2013 7:55 pm The Union-Tribune San Diego reports the Chargers remain interested in free agent DT Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bolts were reportedly interested in Bannan last month, but nothing materialized. The 34-year-old is visiting the Lions on Monday. He doesn't pack the stat sheet, but Bannan is quality veteran depth with a knack for tying up blockers. He'd likely see the field more often in San Diego.
Source: Michael Gehlken on Twitter
Fri Jul 19, 2013 7:11 pm Free agent DT Justin Bannan will visit the Lions on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: It will be Bannan's first visit of free agency. The Chargers were reportedly interested in the 34-year-old last month, but nothing came of it. Bannan started 15 games for the Broncos last season, recording 42 tackles.
Source: Denver Post
Tue Jun 4, 2013 9:09 pm The Union-Tribune San Diego reports the Chargers are interested in free agent DL Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Chargers are searching for veteran depth, and coach Mike McCoy got to see Bannan up close and personal in Denver last season. Heading into his age-34 campaign, Bannan still does a good job of tying up multiple blockers.
Source: Union-Tribune San Diego
Tue Mar 5, 2013 10:11 am The Denver Post considers the Broncos more likely to re-sign free agent DT Kevin Vickerson than DT Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: The defensive tackle position in John Fox's 4-3 scheme doesn't get the glamour, but it's a key position. Vickerson, Bannan and Mitch Unrein tied up blockers, thus allowing Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil to wreak havoc. Expect the Broncos to bring back one of their incumbents while also looking to add talent to the position.
Source: Denver Post
Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:30 am Impending free agents DT Justin Bannan and S Jim Leonhard hope to re-sign with the Broncos this offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: "This is my home. This is where our family has settled," said the 33-year-old Bannan. "I take a lot of pride in this city." Leonhard, 30, called the Broncos the most talented team he's ever been on. Fellow free agent MLB Keith Brooking hasn't thought about the 2013 season.
Source: Denver Post
Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:35 pm Broncos agreed to terms with DT Justin Bannan on a one-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Broncos were desperate for a veteran presence up front after losing Brodrick Bunkley to the Saints. Turning 33 next week, Bannan is still an asset as an early-down run stuffer. Denver will still target a defensive line prospect or two in the draft. Bannan's signing allows more flexibility in the first round, however.
Source: Mike Klis on Twitter
Thu Apr 5, 2012 5:42 pm Free agent DT Justin Bannan visited the Broncos on Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bannan played in Denver under Josh McDaniels two years ago. The Broncos are in need of defensive tackle help with Marcus Thomas weighing offers from three teams and Brodrick Bunkley now in New Orleans.
Source: Denver Post
Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:04 pm Rams signed DT Justin Bannan to a three-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Denver Post's Mike Klis reports former Broncos HC and current Rams OC Josh McDaniels played a part in luring Bannan to St. Louis. Bannan should be given a chance to start on the inside after tallying 35 tackles, one sack and forced fumble for Denver a season ago. Though Bannan is 32 years old, he remains a quality run stuffer and adds needed size at 6-foot-3, 310.
Source: Jim Thomas on Twitter
Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:28 pm The Rams have begun talks with free agent DT Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Rams and Broncos appear to be in on the same defensive tackles. St. Louis isn't considered a serious contender for Brandon Mebane, so Bannan could be a fallback option.
Source: Jim Thomas on Twitter
Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:08 am The Denver Post reiterates that the Broncos are interested in bringing back free agent DTs Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams at a reduced rate this summer.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bannan seems to be the top choice, and he would slide in next to Kevin Vickerson as a starter inside. The 32-year-old is also interested in returning to Baltimore, but Denver is easily the more desperate of the two teams.
Source: Denver Post
Fri Mar 4, 2011 9:59 am Free agent DT Justin Bannan would "love" to return to the Ravens in 2011.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I love Baltimore," said Bannan. "The Ravens organization is family to me. So that's a definite possibility." The Ravens drafted Terrence Cody to replace Bannan last year. He'd have to accept a minor role and less money to return.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Thu Mar 3, 2011 5:04 pm Broncos released DT Justin Bannan.
Fantasy Source Spin: Denver's free agent defensive line class of 2010 goes in the books as a monumental bust. Bannan, Jamal Williams, and Jarvis Green combined for just 32 games at $17.25 million total. The Broncos will save $4 million on Bannan after he signed a five-year, $22 million contract a year ago. The 32-year-old will likely catch on with a team running a 3-4 scheme.
Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:33 am Broncos DL Justin Bannan is expected to move to defensive tackle in 2011 after playing end in 2010.
Fantasy Source Spin: Changes are in store as the Broncos transition from the 3-4 to the 4-3 under new head coach John Fox. The 6-3" 310 pound Bannan played defensive tackle for four seasons each in both Buffalo and Baltimore before moving to end in Denver, and his experience suggests little to no learning curve. He's currently a favorite to open 2011 as a starter.
Source: Denver Post
Fri Mar 5, 2010 7:00 pm Broncos signed DL Justin Bannan to a five-year, $22 million contract with a $6.3 million signing bonus and $10.5 million in guarantees.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bannan, 31 next month, can play both nose and end in a the Broncos' 3-4 scheme. He finished last season with 35 tackles off the bench after racking up 45 for Baltimore the previous year as injured NT Kelly Gregg's fill-in. The contract suggests the Broncos are counting on him to start.

Kim Kardashian does not plan to tie the knot with Kanye West -- at least not yet -- but she is angry and frustrated that Kris Humphries is putting her in a position where she may have a baby with one man while still married to another.
Sources connected to Kim tell TMZ ... she does not feel the need to marry Kanye, even though she's having his baby. But she does not want to be legally married to Kris Humphries when she gives birth.
Our sources say ... Kim feels Kris is being "spiteful and vindictive" in dragging out the divorce -- which has dragged on for nearly a year-and-a-half -- for no reason. We're told with all the depositions and paperwork, there's been no evidence presented by either side suggesting Kim defrauded Kris when she agreed to marry him.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... people in Kris' life are now urging him to just settle and walk away. But here's the problem ... Both sides have now incurred big attorney's fees, and we're told Kim believes so strongly Kris' legal challenge is so bogus that she wants him to foot her lawyer's bills.
If they can't settle, the judge will set a trial date next month. Kim's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, estimates a trial would take a grand total of 1 day. Kris' lawyer thinks it's more like 5 days, because he wants to put reality TV on trial.
Stay tuned.
I hope he takes her to the cleaners. SHE is the one who made a fool outta him. Now it's time to pay up.
Kris would do well to fight that publicity stunt marriage. Take it to the box, the jury knows whats up already. Game, set, match !
Kris totally has the upper hand now that Kim is pregnant with another public figure's baby. Kim is going to have to pay up to make Kris go away. Kim and her baby's daddy has the money to make this happen. Kris just has to sit tight for a few more months.
Maybe she should have the anullment like Kris asked for in the first place, but then she might have to give up some of the money she was paid to have the wedding on TV.
duh its called BIRTH CONTROL....BUT CONTROL OF ANYTYPE HAS NEVER BEEN KIMS STONG SUIT!!!!
"Since we're all saying things we say all the time. I'll just reiterate. kim, we don't care about you, or your body, or that baby bird.
I'm starting to like Humphries again.
Everytime I see another Kim story I think WHY? I usually don't comment, and most of the time I don't read the article, they are all the same, however, I'm so tired of KK wanting to be the victim in this situation with Kris. Do I think the entire wedding was a money making scheme, you bet! Do I think that Kris was blindsided, you bet! Do I think that KK was doing Kanye on the side, you bet! At one time I admired the business woman that she has become, however, now she is believing her own hype, can't wait to the narcisstic Kanye rains on her parade, too bad a child is now involved.
Ummm, you stupid idiot, then don't get pregnant while still married to another man. At least wait until after the divorce to spread those legs of yours. I feel so sorry for that baby, it has two idiots for parents.
Kim is the one married having someone elses baby so she is wrong
Are you people crazy ,kriss treated kim like crap on the show! At first you were team kim ,now that she has moved on with a new man, people are team kris. I think the only reason kris want to move on now is because he know that the baby would be legaly his, and he may pay for a child that's not his
First off, Kris Humphries did NOT put her in a position where she will have a baby with one another man while still married to him. If I recall correctly didn't she say in the previous season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, that she is not ready to have a baby as far as traveling so much and business opportunities that she rather wait for when the time is right. Seems to me Kim is still NOT a bigger girl and look for easy ways to get out of situations and create new situations that will hurt her in the long run. She does NOT know what she is getting her self into. I hat to say but i expect to see her crying real soon and not for joyous reasons. KARMA ALWAYS COMES BACK AROUND.
If Kim has nothing to hide why don't she give Kris what he wants..play the divorce out on her show..she always says she's an open book...bitch we know your open so what are you scared of..the truth? You should have used a condom or stayed on birth control...you didn't get off it while you were married..hmmm i wonder why...so since your only 3 months and you been with ,KW for only 8 months you thought 5 months in you should get pregnant..Kim stfu your a hoe and a drama queen..go away with that bastard baby and i hope KW sees right thru your whiney ass and dumps your ass... Youare a money hungry untalented no good slut.
ALL THE KARDASHIANS ARE TRASH. This is all for fame. Boo hoo hoo Kim, cry us a river, c*unt.
doesn't tmz read the comments? the overwhelming majority support chris. Kim is no victim, she created this situation, I hope Chris takes her to the cleaners. Everyone knows this was a set up, she knows this "super wedding" wouldn't have gotten the same ratings with Kanye.
If Mike is going to be on Chris Jenners payroll also, don't let him write any more of this c***p
this chick is a peice of work how many guys has she been with and now shes with a homley one waa waa waa your marriid you stuoid beach alls you do is have sex with men and your somebody I think you are bottom s*** and very pathetic

Trying to do too much at once, pressed 'propagate permissions' on the wrong folder and have set permissions for all users home drives wrong..... :doh:
So, all the permissions were then wrong on their home drives, so now I have manually set the correct POSIX to each user on their root folder, but of course all the folders/files within don't give them access, that is each file/folder within doesn't give them the right permissions (the ones I have checked are read only which would tie in with the POSIX read only I guess).
The permissions on each home folder are :
ICT_Technical has read/write
Teachers are read only
user has read/write
admin has read only
other has read only
I presume these permissions are correct, as they are what is created when I create a new user after this disaster took place. The root folder of all the home drives hasn't been affected by this, it's only the users home folders within that drive that are affected.
Is their any way other than propagating permissions within Server Admin that I can quickly reset all contents of the home folders (Desktop, Documents etc and all files within) to the right permissions?
I am doing all the work via Remote Desktop on our Xserve thru server admin, which is slow progress, but easiest.
If anyone can throw me a beacon of hope I'd appreciate it.
Add to all my other problems today, someone has smacked into my shiny new car and ruined it... but at least I have their name and insurance details.
It can't get any worse.
I am also going to need this done as an idiots guide 'cos I am stupid, no really I am.

The Great War: July 1, 1916: The First Day of the Battle of the Sommeby Joe Sacco
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Launched on July 1, 1916, the Battle of the Somme has come to epitomize the madness of the First World War. Almost 20,000 British soldiers were killed and another 40,000 were wounded that first day, and there were more than one million casualties by the time the offensive halted. In The Great War, acclaimed cartoon journalist Joe Sacco depicts the events of that day in an extraordinary, 24-foot- long panorama: from General Douglas Haig and the massive artillery positions behind the trench lines to the legions of soldiers going "over the top" and getting cut down in no-man's-land, to the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers retreating and the dead being buried en masse.
Printed on fine accordion-fold paper and packaged in a deluxe slipcase with a 16-page booklet, The Great War is a landmark in Sacco's illustrious career and allows us to see the War to End All Wars as we've never seen it before.
"Joe Sacco is a genius. Easily one of the most important journalists, writers and cartoonists alive, every stroke of his assured and humblingly mature pen captures what the camera simply cannot. Through his reserved yet compassionate use of words and pictures, he allows us to occupy the horrifying inner and outer boundaries of human cruelty and desperation — yet all, I believe, with the aim of returning to what it means to be a civilized, sympathetic and possibly even forgiving soul." Chris Ware, author of Building Stories
From "the heir to R. Crumb and Art Spiegelman" (Economist) comes a monumental, wordless depiction of the most infamous day of World War I.
About the Author
Joe Sacco's acclaimed books include Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and Footnotes in Gaza, as well as a best-selling collaboration with Chris Hedges, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

Justin Timberlake has assured fans he will one day revive his music career, insisting he only hung up his microphone because he couldn't juggle acting at the same time.
The "SexyBack" singer was lauded for his recent portrayal of Napster founder Sean Parker in The Social Network and he's currently gearing up for the release of four other films in the coming months.
But the star insists he's "not done" singing and is eager to record another album in the future.
"I'm a male. And I lack the ability to do two things at the same time. (But) I sing every day... In the car. In the shower," he told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her show.

Building a Landing Strip will help you filter the outside word, keeping your home calm and cutting down on your junk mail will give you back years of life. Enjoy putting together an invitation for week 8's gathering!...
Good Quotes: Alana in Canada
"How does a kitchen ceiling get dirty?
1) You live with a smoker.
2) Your kids bring home helium balloons and proceed to draw smiley faces on them with marker. Then they bounce them off the only non-popcorn ceiling there is on the ground floor. Oh, you scrub at it, but it never really comes off.
3) Spaghetti sauce blows up on the stove. see above.
4) Your ceiling isn't exactly flat. Grease rises on steam and settles in ripples.
5) You don't have an over the stove outside venting hood fan and you cannot get one installed where the stove is and you can't move the stove without doing the rewiring..."

I have some terrible news. My father passed away suddenly last Sunday night/ Monday morning. He was in great shape and only 59 years old, it was completely unexpected. He and my mom were still so in love after 36 years and we were such a close family. Thank goodness we still are, but I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the next few months.
I was actually deeply engrossed in my style try and uploading pictures to Flickr when my mom called at 3:30am to tell me dad was in the ambulance having CPR done on him. I was on a flight home by 6:30am. We had a memorial service on Wednesday and the funeral on Friday.
Needless to say, I got nothing specifically cure-related done this week. I DID however host 8 people in my tiny studio apartment!! My mom and sister helped me put a bunch of the clutter under the bed and in the closet, not fully organized but a good temporary solution. It is so strange to be working on this again exactly a week later, but it's also good to have something to put my mind to.
I'm having trouble figuring out my color scheme. I was thinking some red and brown in the living/dining area and then a curtain or open bookcase behind the futon to separate the bedroom area, which could have more grays and whites and a little bit of pale green?? Mom says I should keep everything the same since I'm working in one space. Ideas?
All About Eve, I LOVE that red door!!
"michelle" -- my condolences on the death of your father. That would be such a shock. You're right, it will be helpful to have something to concentrate on in the weeks ahead. Take care of you...
Zooza -- you astound me. Well done.
My condolences to you and your family,try to do a little cure every day while you process your grief...just take time to take care of yourself,too.
"michelle", condolences. I think it's great you chose to continue with the cure, even if all you get to do is change the doormat.
About the color scheme, you definitely do not have to keep it the same color.
Thank you smallcitybeth, eveapple, and Geraldine. I'm a member of another online group as well, and it's amazing how much support I find from people I've never met. It's appreciated, even though I know there really is nothing to say.
I think I will try the 2 different schemes and as long as they don't clash, I think it could work.
michelle - my deepest condolences on your loss. I agree with the other posters that you don't need to eliminate a color scheme. I think working on your home and turning it into a place of joy and life is one of the single best things you can do during this tough time.
*michelle*- I'm so sorry. And I agree with others, that it's so nice to have something like the Cure that you're involved in - it's an action-oriented, concrete thing to focus on, where you get results and you take care of yourself. And it's nice to be thinking about colors and things like that.
My condolences too. I lost my father suddenly, as well, when I was 22. I hope the cure will help you heal.
About the colour scheme: I looked at your flickr set and your floor plans--great floor plans! You will wind up having a red/brown/grey/white colour scheme with touches of green. The space is just that open and that small. I don't want to see you divide it with anything tall, like a bookcase, because that will cut off your light. Though using the couch or low bookcases could work.
I'd recommend choosing a neutral for the whole apartment (I'm thinking of the walls, mostly) and then either a cool or a warm colour as an accent.
If we're talking everything but the walls, then two colours max. Both warm or both cool or complimentary.
My thoughts are with you Michelle, I lost both of my grandfathers last year and I can only imagine what a loss you must feel. On a lighter note, I'm "All about Eve" on Flickr and I'm glad you liked my door. :)
I'm so happy my pic made an AT cure post! Woohoo! I have a lot of paint left, so I'm going to use it to paint a wall in the nearby walk-in closet as well as a small étagère that just looks so sad right now.
My landing strip is ok but the cedar chest has some water damage on top. I'm thinking of getting a piece of red 3form stuff to put on top. I also need hooks for my guests coat and am leaning towards treating myself to an Eames Hang it All.
Oh Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It must be hard, especially living in a new place. I'm glad you have such a close family - it makes a difference at times like these. I hope this process of creating a warm and healthy home helps you to heal. My only advice is not to be too hard on yourself about keeping up with the cure, although you probably knew that already.
Any cool ideas for kitchen shelf liner. I had contact paper, but the options at Kmart, Target don't really appeal. Anything really pretty and different out there?
Michelle - my thoughts are with you and your family! I can't even imagine how you are going on right now as we seem to be about the same age. I do greatly appreciate all the comments you've left me (I'm suziegoombs on flickr), you have such great ideas! I also love checking out your flickr page too, you have such lovely photos in your style tray.
As for my "progress," over the weekend boyfriend and I trekked over to Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond. We picked up lots of hooks and screws, some paint, and a new laundry hamper. I painted the frames of two bulletin boards I'm going to put up soon and we installed child locks so the kitty can't get into the cabinet his food is in :) I ordered curtains (still not sure how I'm putting them up) and randomly bought a living room chair on ebay! The chair is awesome but was a completely unexpected purchase.
@Lady J - we used cork liner from the Container Store (although I'm sure you could find it somewhere else as well) and have been very happy with it. It cushions the dishes and looks nice.
*michelle*, deepest condolences, this must be so shocking. Blessings to your family.
I just realized that Alana basically made all the same suggestions I was about to, verbatim. But I'd also say I love your floor plans and your place has a neat layout.
Zooza - I'm in awe. Nice job!
Lady J, I found some contact paper that is shiny coppery, and I really like the look of it (it was more expensive than the regular, of course). Thing is, the store I found it in is a Canadian store, and I don't know an American source to suggest. You can see what it's like at this amazon link -- http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Brushed-Copper-Contact-Paper/dp/B000KKMO7W
(although I also like the sound of that cork stuff that pearlandopal suggested, and it would cushion the dishes).
I was out of town this weekend, so I'm behind a bit. I'm going away in 10 days again, but now it looks like I'll be returning with a house guest, so I really need to get on top of some of this stuff this week.
Kitchen, front hall and Mr. Magoo's closet, general house cleaning. And make some calls on the repair work.
But the outbox is big. And growing. I've gotten to that point where I'm looking for stuff that I can put into to it.
Michelle- I am so sorry for your loss. Although few of us will actually ever meet in person- it is like we all know each other well, after all, we've all been to each others houses. Please take care of yourself.

It's a logistical nightmare.
I plan on taking this week to focus on the changes I want to make to the dining room.
That means painting the walls and a few bits of furniture.
That means emptying the room.
I have no room for the stuff in here. I can barely figure out where some of the furniture can go, so that some of it can be pushed away from the walls and into the center. It is absolutely over-whelming. And I've figured out that it will take nine days minimum to paint it (allowing 12 hours between coats, is realistically, only one coat a day).
What on earth can I do?
Well, someone might ask, so I'll spell it out.
1 day: fill holes and sand
2 days: prime (2 coats)
2 days: 2 coats of colour on three walls.
2 days: time to wait for freshly painted walls to cure so I can tape them.
2 days: paint "accent" wall and trim.
Alana - is this the red room or the paler one with your Windsor chairs in? If its the latter, I wouldn't have thought you'd need two coats of primer (or, indeed, any) which would knock 1-2 days off. If it is the red room, well, yep - 9 days.
Unless.... you paint the two first coats of the main walls and the accent walls on the first day (but don't go up to the edge where they meet on the darker colour - in fact overlapping the paler colour onto the darker wall so you only have to tape one edge later). Ditto second coat. Then touching up the edges where they meet should only take 1 day if you do it first thing in the morning and then last thing at night. Time saved = 1 day.
At least you work these things out in advance. I just go all tally-ho into the task and then get frustrated when I'm still doing it nine days later.
LadyJ...how about wallpaper? maybe you could find some paisley or swirly on clearance? Or just use an art or scrapbook paper you like and cover it with clear contact paper (you could even improvise a patchwork design of many different papers).
Depending on what kind of shelf you are lining, fabric might also be an option? you could use the liquid starch idea that others have posted about for mounting fabric to a wall--it could work on a shelf also....it just might not be wipeable if you are using it in a kitchen.
Michele -- my condolences. My thoughts are with you.
All About Eve -- love what you did with that door. Inspires me to finally do something about the inside of my front door, even if it's not on the "scheduled" room.
ZuleikaD -- since I used to row crew -- albeit double scull -- your screen name gives me the willies
Wound up running my mother to the emergency room yesterday. She's been discharged, but today and tomorrow will probably be spent taking her a round or two of doctors, so I'm not sure how much cure I'll be doing this week.
*michelle* - I'm so sorry for your loss.
For color scheme, my suggestion is to use two variants on a base. i.e., room 1 is red with green accent and room 2 is pale green with red accent, and both with a warm grey main color.
The shared colors tie the areas together, and using different 'strengths' of each helps identify them as separate 'rooms'.
JonathanB--I'm sorry to hear about your mother, but I'm glad she's mobile.
Zooza--thanks fortrying to help me save one day! I think I'll go and collect boxes as best I can for the books. Part of the problem, is, of course, I'm not willing to give the kids a "fall vacation" (we're doing school as sporadically as ever right now anyway and not much of it when we do). and all the school stuff is stored in here just because there is no where else for it.
I've also been set back by a project I thought I'd finished. I've been staining and varnishing a little round drop leaf table--and when I'd finished the underside, I flipped it over last night and realised the top coat of varnish on the center piece needed to be re-done. Unfortunately, I got a little too vigorous with the sanding and now I have an awful mess with some area sanded almost to bare wood and others, not.
I'm not sure what to do about it.
And of course, this dining room is also the "project room" where I have this table and two kitchen chairs I'm also painting.
I'm just not sure what to do anymore and I want to quit. Just fuggeddaboutit. So mature.
Thanks for the ideas. I like both the cork and the starched fabric ideas. These cabinets are too high for me to see the bottoms, but pattern across the back might be nice.
I too wanted to add my condolences on the death of your father. I hope this project helps even in a little way to improve your spirits.
Why don't you start by working on your table and chairs? Take it one project at a time! :-) Finishing the table and chairs might be the motivation you need to tackle the behemoth of a job that is painting the dining room walls.
Amazing cabinet doors!
And to everyone who offered some advice re: puppies and curtains,
Thanks for your wise words. At this stage, I think I'm probably going to hold off on the curtains at least until around Christmas time, which I'm not happy about, but seems the sensible thing to do. :-( I'd hate for beautiful new curtains to be destroyed, but truthfully I think I'd hate my husband saying "I told you so" even more. ;-)
Thanks Phillippa. Your words gave me the energy I needed to do a little more sanding. It's just disheartening to realise you're essentially starting over from scratch just when you thought you were done.
I'll finish the chairs up soon....and just take the packing in stages. I'd wanted to start painting asap, but I guess not. One wall a day will take four days. Maybe that'll work. I don't know. I hate things all disrupted and in disarray.
Michelle - I'm so very sorry for your loss, and relieved to hear that you have a support system that is eager to provide comfort and decorating advice.
My thoughts on your color scheme delimma are as follows - I'd keep all the walls one color, using the separation as a way to integrate more of one color or the other on either side. I'm not sure how big your space is, but my 13 years in a NYC apartment tell me that if you keep your background simple you can really create different zones with art, rugs, accessories, etc.
Aww Michelle, I wish you all the strength in the world right now, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love all the photos above, you guys are making such great progress! As for the shelf liner, I would go with the cork or something that you can just lay down. I have a very small cabinet and the sticky contact paper was kind of a pain.
I'm a little behind, due to yom kippur, 21 mile run, and football. I still have to clean beneath my sink, and clear off my dining room table. But I'm not too worried, there isn't really much to do in the entry way. I already pretty much have a landing strip, but I'm thinking of getting rid of it. It's actually a dresser I'm using there until I can afford a nice buffet I think. And I just realized that my dresser will fit in my "closet." But I don't know if I like that space empty. I'll try to get pics up tonight. I found some hooks at urban outfitters online that I'm going to go check out and see if they look as good in person.
Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Take care of yourself--and if the "cure" process becomes more stress than distraction, feel free to step away!
LadyJ, I have used the cushiony liner that they have at Home Depot for tool drawers--the "grip" stuff. I like it better than the lighter weight offwhite stuff made for drawers. I think it's only offered in dark grey/black. Depending on whether you want it to be cushioned or wipeable, another option is to line it with patterned paper. You could always pick a pattern you like and put clear contact paper over it.
I am SO FAR behind. I'm going to go into cram mode and try to get the last few weeks of curing done!
I just squeeled with excitement seeing my living room pop up...thanks! I needed that today...
It makes me very happy that the curtains now brush the floor perfectly instead of pooling into 2 feet of fabric...
Also, when I took them down to do the alterations, I realized what a tremendous impact curtains have on the room, which makes my search for the perfect bedroom curtains even more important this week...
All About Eve...that door is hot...and so is your photo, the lighting in your entry is great...
I need to work on lighting our entry, there is only an overhead light (I hate overhead lighting)...but I'm not sure where to put other lights...hmm..
Michelle, I'm very sorry to read your post. My condolences to you and your family.
Jess2nola - or someone else - how do you decide what height to hang curtains at? I've resisted hemming my own 2' pool of curtain because I'm afraid I've got the curtain rod at the wrong height. I have 16" or so between the top of the window and the ceiling. And a thumb circumference rod in case that makes a difference.
Also, what sort of a mess am I making if I go warm instead of cool for the bedroom? I set my self onto a light orange accent wall and orange-beige other walls, but now I don't know.
I remember seeing a link to a colour-scheme generator at some point, I think the context was colour-schemes based on artwork, does anyone have the link?
So many questions, so few self-generated answers. I'm sorry for the flood!
Marcelo, Pixie, Alana in Canada, Eve, betsbillabong, AmandaC/Suziegooms, Mella DP, lorijo/thefarmersdaughter, JonathanB (I hope your mother is recovering well!), Kyrdissa, phillippa, LIMOM, EastVillageAmy, Christine in DC, and Opal, THANK YOU ALL for your kind words.
I spent the afternoon in Ikea today getting lots of ideas but only bought 2 pillows since I took the bus. The pillows are a shiny deep red and a more subtle shiny gray with brown. I think those will be my accent colors, but lots of neutral and brown in the furniture and more red in the living area and more gray in the bedroom area. Everyone's comments really helped me think it through!!
I took a bunch of pictures to help with ideas and decisions, I will have to post ones of what I'm thinking of buying. I still want to stop by crate and barrel and some other stores as well, first. I saw some curtain panels in a gray and white simple floral pattern that I LOVE, I need to find out if they're long enough though.
Opal, I had similar dilemmas as you, I wouldn't worry about the bedroom needing to be cool or visa versa, if you've found something you love that's the most important thing!!
Here's a puzzle.
On p. 115, Maxwell, you write "...white is cool....When you paint a room straight white, it will be cool. Therefore, white rooms require some warm color or other warm element to make them physically comfortable."
Then on the very next page, you say, "Don't mix warm and cool palettes unless you want your room to be purposely funky or off-beat."
All throughout this chapter, of course, you urge us to consider whether a room should be predominently warm or cool and you advise, "If a room is currently a mixture of warm and cool decide which it should be."
You've probably been told this before, but either warm OR cool is fairly radical--and in the case of white (never mind that white really can be either warm or cool) --if we follow your advice, we will have to "mix" our palettes. But I don't think a room with white walls and furniture and objects in warm colours is particularily "radical or off-beat." (And nor, to be fair, do I think you do.)
But this whole "only" cool or "only" warm thing--are we reading you "too straight"--trying to make a rule, say, when it isn't really there? Perhaps you could clear some of this up for us? (well, OK, me.) Thanks.
Oh--and in cure news, I did manage to get one shelf (the 6'6" shelf) in the dining room/office cleared of books and tchotkes today. That was major progress in the whole scheme of things!
Your question reminds me of the one on another thread about the white room with the cerise pillow.
If you were asking me the question, I would say that "ice" tones of any color will warm up a white room without violating the inherent "coolness" of the space. Because colors have hues and values, Maxwell is not contradicting himself. Darker shades are warmer than lighter shades. Purer shades are cooler than muddied shades.
So much for my two cents, or perhaps given inflation, my toonie.
JonathanB--I've never heard that before. But it makes sense.
Darker shades are warmer than cool ones.
Purer colours are cooler than muddied ones.
That corresponds to my new colour scheme in the dining room: I picked what I would call a warm white and a darkish blue (blues any lighter didn't look right). Neither are "pure." So, this combination is on the warm side of cool. Am I nuts to find this reassuring? I was a bit concerned I might "freeze" myself out of this room. (I have no "predominately" cool rooms in my house at all. None. This'll be the first.)
And hey, did you notice the dollar is almost at par? I'll take that toonie. Thanks.
Hope your mom is doing better.
Hey, just checking in on everyone, my landing strip survived the last couple of cures so I am printing out resumes and sending out job applications instead of dealing with junk mail etc. Will catch up with everyone next week... or maybe on flickr.
I was wondering about the warm/cool color thing. After I read it I was a little confused, and just figured I like way the colors I picked look together, so if I'm not following the rules I don't really care so much. My living/bedroom is pale lavendar/lilac, with black trim and grey, black, & whites. One tiny wall/doorway is painted black so that's warm. On the other side or the black wall is my entry/dining/kitchen. There the walls are a butter yellow, cabinets are red, and the trim is turquoise. I also have my front door painted with black chalboard paint in there and find that the chalk colors match the yellow and turquoise quite nicely.
My bathroom is still naked white, I'm going with black trim cause it matches the door, for the walls I'm contemplating either going with the Monet water lillies look or painting it a light cooler version of tiffany blue, and hanging dead sea photos there.
Oh also while I was watching my Cowboys beat the Bears on Sunday night football I heard a really great quote that applies to the cure as much as it does to life. Bill Parcells told Tony Romo, "Don't let good enough be good enough."
So from that I decided if I'm not totally in love with something, it's not coming into my apartment.
Navy blue and white is a classic combination.
Yes, I suspect that surprised a lot of people. Especially those who thought the American economy was doing well.
As for my mother, the crises is past. Now she has yet another medical regime to follow.
Jonathan--I hope the changes for your Mom aren't too upsetting.
The colour I've picked isn't navy--that would be dark blue, but you just reminded me of something from waaaay back.
I think it was Ralph Lauren, and this would have been when he first started his foray into home design--maybe--but what I remember is a brochure called "D'eauville." (It may have even been a Vogue spread, but I don't think so) It had a picture of a navy and white striped deck chair, cobalt blue and white tiles, (not delft, probably persian, but I wouldn't have known that then) and other combinations of deep intense blues and whites...and I remember the absolute jolt of longing I got looking at it.
Funny, how, probably 20 years later, I'm finally realising a vision I once had. (Or, rather, was given to me, really).
I am now, once again, excited to get this room painted. Much better head space than the despair I was in yesterday.
Thanks JonathanB.
re: "Darker shades are warmer than cool ones.
Purer colours are cooler than muddied ones."
Um, not so much. Well, at least not automatically.
Anywho, just a ringing endorsement for the power of the landing strip... it was a HUGE turning point for me, and created a functional and attractive, welcoming "room" out of an unused stair landing for my ex.
I just spent the day shipping out 15 boxes of eBay sales, from my uncle's collections which I am helping to find good homes for. Whew.
I just realized you can't tell in my picture, but I hang my curtains as close to the ceiling as possible (and because I have kinda puny windows about 16" to each side of the window) This way they serve to heighten the room and make the window seem larger...
No, it's not axiomatic, it's a rule of thumb. It will usually work. And I didn't even present it that strongly.
But congratulations on getting through those 15 boxes via eBay. I can well imagine that being a great relief.
Hey Patrick (the other one) good to see you again. I was wondering where you were--but I guess you were under a pile of boxes!
Do you know the history of the expression "a rule of thumb?"
Back in the day when these sorts of things were par for the course, the "rule of thumb" referred to the stipulation that the leather strap you used to beat your wife would be no wider than your thumb. (Or maybe no thicker. Can't precisely remember.)
Anyway, I try not to use that expression anymore!
But maybe you can tell me what the heck a "warm" blue is then?
Is it a sort of violet? (blue blue red)
Or a sort of blue-green? (blue blue yellow)?
I heartily endorse the landing strip too. Don't know where we would be without it.
didn't know that was the origin of the rule of thumb. thanks. I love stories like that.
My landing strip is done!
You can see what the whole area looked like before here:
Our goal at this point is to add more color to the kitchen area. I'll be posting photos of that (you can't really see it). It's all black, white, and wood at this point. We have one bright orange dish towel, and we're looking for more things to warm up the space and make it a little more colorful. Painting the kitchen is a no go. Any other suggestions outright?
Hey guys, I finally got pics up! Would love to hear your comments:
Marcelo, for adding color you could go with art work, placemats, chair cushions, canisters, flowers, or even a bowl of fruit.
Wow, I started the Apartment Therapy 8 week cure 3 weeks ago! I guess I'm just in time!
Are the "official" Apartment Therapy cures done every quarter?
Here's my Week 3 Landing Strip
And my Week 3 with pictures
Not every quarter, though that would be nice. So far they've run every Fall and Spring.
101Things -- not quite every quarter... so far there's a Fall Cure, and a Spring Cure. The first year (2006) they were April-May and October-November. This year they were a little earlier, March-April, and September-October. But it's just two Cures a year.
Welcome to the "party"!
Hi everyone,
It's been a long week - had a family emergency (which now seems to be stabilized - hopefully - my sister-in-law going into labor 4 months early). And now I am in San Francisco trying to get an artwork ready.
However, I am still here in spirit although I can't declutter my landing strip since I'm not at home. Instead I am thinking hard about my loft.
I think I have decided to put it off for now, and to focus instead on the deep clean, although I will definitely be painting my floor because I just can't deal with it anymore! However, I don't think I'll make as many major changes as I'd originally thought. I don't want to burn myself out. I am also concerned that, since it can't be put completely up against a wall, that the loft will actually really break up the room and make it feel smaller. Thoughts? I wish it could fit horizontally (that is, parallel to the window wall), but it doesn't, so it will have to be exactly where my bed is, but taller. Thoughts?
I will post a possible floor plan that is slightly different soon... would love to hear people's input on my plan.
So here is the floor plan I'm liking most right now:
And I've tentatively decided on going with grey/brown/red for the whole main room. These are my 2 main inspiration pics:
Maybe I can incorporate some green/brown/white in the bathroom, which is at least totally separate.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Betsbillabong, hope your sister-in-law and the baby are doing well!
EastVillageAmy - that owl painting is wonderful and amazing! Are you now an artist?
My initial thoughts on your before pix are to focus on the big picture and how it looks and works overall, rather than to think about painting little individual areas. Like, what will your overall colors be and how will they work together? Do you need to paint overall rather than focusing on small spots? Do you have clear zones for your different activities?
thank you
marcelo and 101 things
whenever I see a good landing strip I get jealous because I don't have the room for a proper one
hope your sister in law in doing better
if it helps, I don't think I've ever actually completed a cure, but my place always looks and works immeasurably better after I've done what I could do in the process
EastVillageAmy - maybe the owl painting can be the basis for your color scheme, since it looks to me from the picture, that the colors work really well together. Pretty good for a 3 year old! What I mean is to perhaps bring out the minor colors of the painting into your space rather than the overall color of the painting, which would be overwhelming if you put it on the walls, and then maybe pick up the overall color of the painting in accents. Just a thought!
I'm going on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I'm afraid the rest of my cure will be delayed as well as any new pictures. You all are great inspiration to pick it up when I get back, so thank you!
re: "Darker shades are warmer than cool ones.
Purer colours are cooler than muddied ones." part deux
Just reread that, and I'm not sure the first part is even right...
"warmer than cool ones"? Did you mean "darker shades are warmer than lighter ones"? A dark room may seem cozier than a lighter one, but I'm not sure that's a true case of "warm/cool" in colorspeak.
And a clear, pure unadulterated orange is *not* necessarily cooler than a "muddied" terra cotta.
It all depends on whether the color is pigmented with warm or cool colors (reds and yellows, or blues and greens). The "shade" or value does not in any way determine warmth or coolness, thumbs or axioms or otherwise.
Thanks for the feedback Pixie. I'm not currently an artist by profession, but I play around with stuff every now and again. My mom was really into oil painting when I was a kid and so she let me have my own canvas to play with and that's what came out. I like it as an accent piece to go with all the funky bright colors in the area.
I like my overall colors on the walls, it's just those bits of trim, and such that need painting to pull it all together. Also I need to look into more lighting options. I'm now working on the designating areas. I think most of my stuff that was cluttering was just due to me not making proper areas for activities. I just posted new pics of the re-positioned and de-cluttered dining table. It looks so much better, but now I have to add the table to "the little things that need painting" list.
JonathanB -
I too thought I had zero room for something like that, but then I realized that all I needed were a few hooks on the wall and a place to put the mail. Depending on how many people live in your place you may not even need all that. But it's made all the difference in keeping the kitchen tidy.
I too have fallen behind!
I'm still working on the kitchen, but progress has been made! I now have a shiny clean fridge (there was definitly some weird goo in that thing...), and shiny clean drip pans! Photos of the drip pans are at my flicker page, although, honestly, I don't know that anyone other than me would be interested in my clean drip pans...
The new filing cabinet that we ordered came the other day, and unfortunitly the nice "medium oak" color turned out to be an orange/red color that really dosen't go with the rest of the wood tones in the room http://www.flickr.com/photos/13108435@N03/1448953379/
so I think I'm going to return it and exchange it for the same cabinet in a dark stain, which should be similar to the desk and the other filing cabinet. Shipping it back is turning out to be a real pain in the bum, but this was supposed to be a peice of furniture that would last quite a while, and I really don't want to have something I don't like haning around forever...On the upside, the quality appears to be really good, and the shipping was fairly fast...so hopefully I will soon have a pretty new filing cabinet that I actually like...
Rosie--I left you some comments on flickr, but they may not show up. That orange thing is fugly. Send it back and you should ask them to reemburse you for the shipping. And congrats on the burner pans! They look wonderful. I gave up on mine years ago--we have an electric stove, so I can use those burner liners.
But maybe you can tell me what the heck a "warm" blue is then?
Warm blue has a slight yellowish tint rather than a grayish undertone. Sky blue or robin's egg blue are warmer than a cloudy gray-blue. Navy is a tad warmer than royal blue.
Similarly, lime is a warm green (as is avocado), and a red that leans more toward purple than toward orange is a cool red even though it looks RED.
I think it's possible to use "intense vs. neutral" or "dark vs. light" where Maxwell uses "warm vs. cool" -- not because they're the SAME thing (they're not) but because his treatment focuses on expanding vs. contracting space, which intensity and tone do quite separately from the warmth or coolness of the color.
Thank you, Wende. That clears it up nicely.
"his treatment focuses on expanding vs. contracting space, which intensity and tone do quite separately from the warmth or coolness of the color."
Well, I hope he sees this and can explain it a tad better in the next edition.
So, generally speaking:
contraction: cool colours or darkish colours or purish (not a lot of grey).
Expansion: warm colours or pale (light) or muddied.
Though "light and dark" refer more to value than intensity or tone, this clears it up nicely for me. (Assuming I understood, of course!) I hope we haven't muddied the waters for others.
Ignore that "value, intensity and tone comment" I'm always getting confused by those.
Michelle- I don't know if you're still checking comments here, but I wanted to send my condolences as well. My husband and I had this experience just after our wedding last year--his 56-year-old dad died very suddenly, too. The shock of it is physical, and I hope that you are able to treat yourself very delicately for a while. My thoughts are with you.
I've found the http://kuler.adobe.com website to be really helpful in looking for colors/themes. You can enter a base color and then choose from complimentary, shades etc. It's genius!
I started the cure last spring/summer but am going through it (unfortunately at my own pace though, not necessarily quite with the pace on the site) still. I am around week 3, with some jumping around to other steps in between.
I'm documenting my progress on my blog, and hope to get a few photos posted on flickr. Photos are on my blog now and hopefully more to come soon. Can't wait to get a chance to check out what some other people are doing as well!
Here's the link to my AT posts in case anyone wants to have a look:
I LOVE the AT book and process and have been recommending the book to all my friends!

Jeffrey's GroceryBack to Restaurant Details »
It looks like a corner market with pressed-tin ceilings that carries the kind of peanut butter you like, but it's really a restaurant: there are rillettes, braised meat dishes and a wine list 35-bottles deep. It's as if Mr. Hooper took a charcuterie class and developed a taste for Willamette Valley pinot noir. It feels calculating at night, but if you ignore the happy-hour crowd — and skip the main courses — you can indulge in a plateau de mer, an assortment of shellfish as generous as it is gorgeous.

Natural Home Remedies For Gum Disease
Home Remedies For Gum Disease
Gum disease or also called gingivitis is when the gums become infected or swollen.
At first stage, the gums may become red, slightly swollen, and may even bleed easily. But most people just feel some discomfort in day-to-day, not bothering to go to a dentist. Even if you go regularly to the dentist, you should make an appointment as soon as possible if you notice your gums red, swollen or bleeding, even if you have no pain. Early intervention is essential to combat the infection before it becomes too serious.
Gum disease – What is it?
Gum disease is the term that defines the condition of inflammation of the gums. Once developed dentition, occurs very frequently and its treatment is usually easy. However, the non-treatment can lead to more serious gum diseases such as periodontitis – which may require the loss of teeth.
Periodontitis Disease:
Periodontitis is caused, in most cases, by the accumulation of plaque and tartar between the teeth and gums, resulting in deep cavities between the tooth root and the underlying bone. if not treated, through time the adjacent maxillary gets destroyed until the tooth start to move and eventually fall.
What are its causes?
The primary cause of gum disease is the accumulation of plaque on the line between the teeth and gums. The inflammation is caused by a bacteria that infects the gums and the surrounding tissue. The accumulation of plaque results most of the times from a less careful oral hygiene.
Apart from poor oral hygiene, the greatest risk of developing gingivitis and / or its aggravation can also be caused by:
- Trauma in the gums, particularly due to brushing or flossing overly;
- Unbalanced diet and lack of vitamin B, C and calcium;
- Hormonal changes due to puberty, pregnancy and menopause;
- Taking certain medications, including contraception, as well as antidepressants and medicines for the treatment of constipation can dry the mouth, due to the reduced secretion of saliva. This is a secondary effect to worry about because saliva is an important natural cleaning agent of the mouth that helps preventing bacteria;
- Viral or fungal infections such as oral candidiasis.
If you have false teeth, bridge or orthodontic appliance, then you should be especially careful with your oral hygiene and the accumulation of bacterial plaque.
Symptoms: How do I know that I have gum disease?
At an early stage, and because inflammation is progressive, Gum disease can go unnoticed. Therefore, please note the following symptoms:
- Frequent bleeding of the gums, particularly when brushing the teeth, use of dental floss or chew;
- The gums get a redder shade or purple;
- Swollen gums;
- Increased sensitivity to pain;
- Aphtha lesions;
- Bad breath or bad taste.
The aggravation of Gum Disease may also cause:
- Spontaneous bleeding from the gums, even without brushing, using dental floss or chewing;
- Small pus formations surrounding the gums and teeth;
- Appearance of spaces between teeth;
- Change the fixing of the teeth in the dental arch, causing its mobility;
- With the recession of the gums, teeth get a longer aspect.

Download of the Week: Fang Island "Sisterly"
Employing a drums / two-guitar / zero-bass lineup, Fang Island makes music that's at once triumphant and joyous — in other words, exactly what you need to make your summer that much more celebratory. The Brooklyn band's self-titled debut LP made us swoon for months on end a couple years ago…yet amazingly, we're enjoying their new record, Major, even more. Its streamlined, super-melodic songs burst like colorful fireworks, with none more explosive than the album's lead single, "Sisterly"!

Picked Up And Fucked
February 17th, 2010
When he saw Bunny de la Cruz in the parking lot, his cock went up like a drawbridge, only a lot faster. Those tits drove him insane. He wanted to see that gorgeous face with his cock in her beautiful mouth. Calling her over to his vehicle, he asked her to lunch at his place. She accepted after some hesitation. After all, Bunny didn't know this guy but she does know "eager to fuck" when she sees it in a man's eyes. You can't fool a chick about things like this. Aloof and withdrawn like that guy from Twilight doesn't cut it with a hot-blooded girl like Bunny. They headed back to his crib where no lunch was waiting, just two meat balls and a sausage. Lying can pay off. He and Bunny reconoitered to the couch where he proceeed to fuck the shit out of her and her huge real tits. In the end, we see what he meant by his "special sauce."

[ GREENOLA + road tripping ]
Last night was Chicago --> Ann Arbor. Today was Ann Arbor --> Brooklyn. I wore my dress the whole way (plus a flannel driving shirt). You can ask Jon Alexander (email@example.com) about the whole thing.
I felt pretty special today wearing some accessories donated by Greenola. Jennifer Moran, the founder of Greenola, got in touch with me shortly after Chicago Uniform Project kicked off and donated a beautiful hand-knit scarf, necklace, bracelet, and brooch. All of the items will be available for purchase on the Buy It Yourself page very soon! Please enjoy and send me any questions (firstname.lastname@example.com).

do it ^
lmao cute!!
aww, that sucks. ): hopefully you do! even if i had stayed after my show, i probably wouldn't have met her. there was a ~shooting outside of the venue so all of the band members were kept under close watch. ..or so i've been told, lol.
awww lol. if i never meet cassadee for some reason, i'd at least hope to meet ashley. she's equally as nice, if not nicer!
she gets a lot of twitter hate aimed at her, too. i mean obviously i understand she's going to have some off-days but anytime i've talked to her on twitter or something she was nothing but super kind to me. she even sent me an email once thanking me for being so nice to her I BASICALLY CRIED
yeah, people just try to come up with "legit" reasons for them to dislike her lol. it just sucks because she is SUPER nice and sometimes when people say otherwise it sways people's opinions
i pm disregarded them at first, too. i heard them on the n (teennick) back in 2008 and i thought the song was ok. i went and downloaded it and then that was that, but then a while later i listened to the song again and then bought their album. the rest is history!!! xD
cassadee is a sweet angel
that's hard… probably somethin like … I LOVE YOU because i do c:
IDK. some people come up with stupid stories to have a reason to dislike her lmao it's really stupid but AWWWW!!! <33
how unbelievably NICE she is. a few people have told me how they met her and she was a big grump/bitch/rude person idk but the majority of the other stories i hear are about how kind-hearted she is.
april 29th. dirty work tour! <3
yesss, i have! it was AMAZING. i flipped when i saw cassadee on stage. no joke. my friend was a witness. all of the other bands were great, too. i didn't get to meet her or any of the other bands though because my cousin had us leave early B|
homecoming! c: what was yours?

The story about the right to resell tickets quoted a state legislator, who should know better, saying, "When I had a ticket, I thought I owned it." Actually, what he owned was a personal right to attend an event, not a right to resell the ticket. (See: "It's my ticket. I should be able to resell it if I want to," Sunday)I do not work for or with anyone selling tickets to anything. But I do know something about free markets.A ticket having a resale right is more valuable than a ticket without that right. At its own discretion, the venue selling tickets to an event should be able to sell them with and without resale rights. A ticket without resale would sell for a certain price, while a ticket with resale would sell for a higher price.A person intending to go to the event would purchase the ticket without resale right. The person intending to resell the ticket, or thinking they might resell it, would pay the higher price for the resalable ticket.That's a free market approach. -- Michael D. Dirmeier,Keller

Bostic has managed five solo tackles in three straight games.
"I don't know that he's in game condition to play 60 or 70 plays, or 50 or 60 plays, but we're just going to let the week kind of take its course," Trestman said, per The Chicago Tribune. "Both him and Jonathan are getting plenty of work. We're excited to have him back, certainly. If we have to make a decision, it's a good one. There's no reason why they can't both be up."
The fine will cost Bostic the equivalent of nearly one game check of his $405,000 base salary, reports the Chicago Tribune.
Williams was brought in to start at linebacker for Chicago. Rookie Jon Bostic might wind up being a replacement for him.

"Dear Lisa and the U-Handbag team,
I just wanted to let you know that the strange sound you heard on Saturday -- you know, the funny yelling-like noise which seemed to come from afar - was actually me. You see, the postman delivered your LOVELY package of handbag goodness (and gummy bears!!!! YUMS!!!) and I just had to shout for joy :-))
THANK YOU!! I LOVE your kits and wish that I could just stay home and play instead of earning my keep at the office. Hahahahhahahah!
Over the weekend, I sewed up the Simply Stylish handbag and oh goodness, it came together so quickly and easily. I'm so glad I ordered more straps because your Simply Stylish bag is absolutely cute AND easy to make. If I didn't have my two-year-old trying to "help," I'm pretty sure the bag would've been completed in two hours. In fact, the bit I spent the most time on was sewing on the straps!
The instructions are clear and now that I've made one, I can see how much scope there is for playing with the design. I have all sorts of ideas now and am dying to try them out.
Some lucky people are going to get gorgeous handbags as Christmas gifts .... or maybe I'll gift them to myself. Hahahhahahah!
I also have to comment on the quality of the handbag bits and bobs. For example, the magnetic clasp is sturdy and pretty posh-looking, unlike some of the cheapie ones you tend to see in most craft shops. Oh and your leather straps are DIVINE.
So thanks once again. I know I'm going to be ordering from you again very soon. Happily yours"

This was terrible. I have tried several low fat creme brûlée and creme caramel recipes and they don't taste good. Next will try making them with whole milk and if that comes out bad, real cream is the only way to go.
Banana-Date Crème Brûlée
Ltoeat Posted: 01/31/13
AnneCInMN Posted: 01/01/13
Love that it's grain free. I used 4 whole eggs in this recipe and it was fine - might be lighter as written tho. I used 12 oz evaporated whole milk. I also substituted the 2 T of sugar with 2T of honey. Used raw cane sugar for the brûlée. I didn't have much luck melting the sugar under the broiler and it burned the edges of the creme. I may look for a little creme brûlée torch for future attempts.

When Oprah "retired" from daytime talk in 2011 she, for the first time in decades, had some free time on her hands. Now that Tom Cruise was no longer jumping on her couch and her studio audience wasn't screaming over getting their hands on her favorite things, she could finally clear her head and get some fresh air. Where did she turn to find peace? Her backyard. Oprah has been gardening up a storm (is she secretly working for Whole Foods?) and her crops are popping up all over her Instagram feed.

We have the nursery slope Neveplast tubing run that is 80ft long and can offer speeds upward of 10mph. Up on the top slope there are two Neveplast tubing runs, the first is 350ft long and offers speeds of around 30mph. The second run up top is 500ft long and also offers speeds of around 30mph. All of these tubing runs are a safe, fun and inexpensive way to enjoy the scenic campus of Liberty University. Come up today and give all three of the new tubing runs a go.
Monday - Thursday: $10.00 for the first hour & $5.00 every hour after.
Friday - Sunday $12.00 for the first hour & $7.00 every hour after.
*$5 of the first hour is a tube usage fee, however, this does not guarantee your usage of the tube for that entire hour.
