How to Restart a DIY Project: 6 No-Fail Steps to Get Yourself Going Again
So many DIY undertakings start out with grand dreams, but at some point the enthusiasm peters away to nothing and one finds oneself eyeballing a dust-covered project in the corner with a mixture of guilt and resentment. It's happened to a lot of us, but at a certain point one must decide if it's time to finish the project or give it up.
I'm very guilty of this particular DIY disaster. In fact, when I mentioned writing this post my partner threw me some serious side-eye and asked if I was really qualified to be giving advice on this subject. But a project-abandoner doesn't need advice from someone who gets everything done on schedule and tidies up afterwards. As a recovering sufferer of Craft Project ADD, these are the steps I follow when I just can't in good conscience leave a project semi-finished any longer.
1. Figure out why you stopped.
Did you just get distracted, or was there some reason you couldn't continue the project? If you just put it aside and still mean to go back to it, find the next free time in your schedule and allocate that to the project. Writing it down helps.
2. Do you need something in order to continue?
Maybe you are missing a tool or fabric or a type of paint. If that's the problem, get that thing.
3. Do you still like the project?
If your taste changed or you realized your painting skills are not great, there's no harm in abandoning a project altogether. Take an honest look at how the project is going and try to envision what it will look like when finished. It is totally OK to decide you don't want that sconce made out of red Solo cups after all. Either find a new home for it, or get rid of it so you don't have to keep looking at it.
4. Enlist help.
Assuming you do want to finish your project, bringing on a friend or partner can help it go much more quickly. If my partner had not decided to undertake my "built in bookshelves" project with me, I would still be sitting in a pile of Ikea manuals with all my books on the floor. But when you bring in another person, you can't abandon the project.
If a friend has expertise in your project, you have a built-in reason to ask. If you just need another body around, maybe you have a friend with an unfinished project of his or her own, and you can take turns helping each other.
5. Declare a moratorium on new projects.
Once you have picked the project you want to finish next, declare a moratorium on planning or shopping for any new projects until you are done.
6. Pick your Netflix project binge.
While your couch cushions need tufting, there's no reason not to watch eight seasons of Charmed on Netflix while that happens. It can help to declare Charmed (or whatever you choose) to be your couch-tufting show, and then just decide for yourself that if you are watching Charmed, you must be making progress on the couch-tufting.
What's the oldest unfinished DIY project you still have lying around?

waterfall oak dining table I am stripping back to natural wood ( yeah.. it was BEFORE the trend!). I used citristrip and when I hosed it off it all stuck to the wood...then it was too hot...too cold...too hot...too cold....etc buried in the garage... inherited my folks 1949 drexel mahogany set with gorgeous chippendale chairs..... so not as motivated as not sure how/where I will use it...but still like it enough to finish it.
I have a hundred and twenty year old brass blade skeleton cage GE table fan that I have been restoring for the last two plus years. Every six months I get a large chunk of it done and then I run into a hitch involving parts or tools or a skill I don't have yet and it takes me another six months to start on it again. Eventually it will be finished. lol
Not enough room! Since we moved from a house into a condo, my quilting project got buried in our storage space. I want to get it out and get it finished but I have to move a lot of stuff to get at it. But now that winter is coming, maybe it's time to get it done.
Right now, no projects as there just isn't money, or room to do what I need. However, with events of late, I may be rectifying a lot of that, eventually.
I do have one project I want to make real, as it sits on my computer as pixels, but first, I either need to redo in vector graphics so the circles are smooth, then size it to 43x43 unfinished, finished will be 36x36x3 inches deep when printed up on canvas paper. On the other hand, I am also thinking of just painting the damned thing, but don't have the canvas, nor the easel etc, and again, a lack of money right now so it just sits, but it WILL get done, eventually.
This is good for a gal to hear. I get so discouraged because I never finish my DYI projects. I've pretty much given up. My flat looks like a Crate and Barrel threw up on a Michaels Arts and Crafts. I don't even invite my friends over any more. I'm too frustrated to finish anything but can't bring myself to toss it in the rubbish bin. I had a great idea to decorate this old beat up antique-like mirror with old coconut shells to give it a funky faux tropic chic look for my bathroom door. I got halfway through and realized it looked terrible. I tried painting it all gold to see if that would help but it looked even worse. The coconut shells just absorbed the paint and it totally ruined the mirror so I gave up. I tried doing a faux finish on my kitchen ceiling to make it look like and old wine cellar but it just made my ceilings look really filthy and I stepped in a bucket of paint coming down the ladder twisted my ankle and ended up lying on my kitchen floor in a puddle of brown satin latex. I was to depressed to clean it up right away and it ended up ruining my hardwood floors. I could go on. The last thing I started and didn't finish was trying to hot glue rope to my toilet seat for a nautical look. I got halfway done before I realized it looked horrible. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
Thank you very much for this posting. While I'm not the best at finishing projects I'm not the worst either. But the suggestions are superb, especially the "know yourself: do you really WANT to do this?" wisdoms.
"Enlist help" can also be "Enlist a professional". Even if it is against our diy ethic, a good print shop, professional repair, or machine quilter can add huge momentum.
One thing I have learned to do over the years is to make scale models of paint finishes and/or construction in cheaper materials before splurging on fancy fabrics.
That aside, making little stuff (jewelry, embroidery, fly-tying, tiny electronics, etc.) makes your projects easier to hide/store before they are done.
My oldest project currently in house is a tailored white jacket with fur cuffs and collar. I've gained weight, and I might look like a marshmallow, and white coats look dirty so fast...
If it doesn't fit, I can put it on consignment.
Oh my don't get me started on sewing projects. I thought it would look pretty neat to take a bunch of old shower curtain hooks and grommet holes along the bottom of a very expensive Burbbery jacket and run them through so I could add custom accent fabrics easily to match whatever shoes and scarf I might wear and ended up completely ruining it. I felt so bad for ruining that beautiful jacket that I just left it on my coffee table for months untouched periodically crying when I saw the mess I had made of it. One day I just shoved it in a trash bag and kicked into the corner. I've been looking for a replacement on ebay and in thrift stores to give it another go but I like your idea of using cheaper materials first to see how horrible it will look. Thanks!
When I was writing my dissertation, my adviser taught me that writer's block is a part of the creative process, and you should think of it as time to stop and do something else while you figure out what's next.
I have found that to be the most useful advice I've ever had about all creative processes, not just writing. It's pretty much the same as #1 and #2 above. Why did you stop? What do you need in order to continue? Do you want to continue, or do something else?
I find that I nearly always stop for a reason. Maybe it's not turning out the way I imagined, or I need some tool I don't have, or I'm not sure what to do next or how to do it. For me, what is key is to not to put it aside where I can forget about it. I need to keep it in view. Or, sometimes, I need to realize that it's not going anyplace and abandon it for ever.
That said, I have not made the draperies for my living room. I have all the fabric etc., but I keep not making them. I bought the fabric on sale and I think it might have been a mistake. But it might also be fine. I guess I'm unwilling to put the work into it, when I'm not sure. So, I think I'll make one panel to the point where I can see what it will look like and decide whether to move forward or to give it all to the Salvation Army.
fixing up my building - 10 years and running. every time I turn around there is something else to do. most urgent is to strip, patch [bondo] sand and paint the exterior entry way, or maybe scrape and paint the fire escape. I just don't feel like dealing with it. or I could cut a better opening into our only closet so we can actually reach the top 3' of it. not to mention fixing the cracked plaster in the kitchen and bedroom. or re-painting our unit. the list is rather endless
Whoever had the idea for this article was just reading my mind. Great article!
When my hubby comments on projects I have not finished, I generally tell him they will get done, but I've reached a point at which I have to think about it. That said, I have a beautiful crocheted coat from last year; I say coat, but I ran out of yarn for the sleeves and put it up while I figured out what I wanted to do with the sleeves. I think I finally figured out how to do it, but it still is not done. Why? Too many other projects started since then have to be done, first. Especially now, that Christmas presents need to be made. (Honestly, though, there is always something that "needs" to be done, so just about anything can be used as an excuse, if you need one.)
Face it, if you are the type who loves DIY, you are bound to have more than one project in the making at any given time. My advice: relax and do what feels right. If it take 20 years to finish a needlework project, so be it. If you never get it done, so what? Donate it to a thrift store or title it "Procrastination" and display it as conceptual art.
Phew -not alone here. Purchased a lateral file cabinet on craigslist at least a year ago for $40. My husband really needed one, but this one was hideous. FINALLY sanded it down, primed it, added 2 coats of black paint & 2 coats of poly. Before I got started, the thought of starting the project paralyzed me b/c I'm such a perfectionist (which incidentally did not stop me from buying a mid-century veneer dresser in need of work off of CL). After each step, when I saw brush strokes or some other minor imperfection, I.could.not.go.on. Now all it needs are some VERY minor repairs, & I'm stalling again b/c I found a terrible poly drip around the lock I taped off, & I'm not sure if I can fix it. It's my 1st time refinishing/painting a piece of furniture, but I hate the idea of a piece of less-than-perfect furniture living in our home. :/
I moved into this new place - replaced the windows, had the carpet torn up and floors installed, had wallpaper-ers hang paper, painted two bathrooms myself, started to primed woodwork in the bedroom - all the while ferociously obsessed with houzz.com. Then, suddenly, one day... nothing. Still have painter's tape hanging from doorways. I think I just had to get on with more substantive interests. Presumably eventually I'll decide that I really do want to have white woodwork.
I just repainted over one of my old art pieces and it was such a relief. So going forward, I will make it a priority to do something out of my unfinished projects. Trash, give away, or complete! And of course #5, not start anything new yet! Great article!
This post is the kick in the butt that I need to get out to the garage today and cut two shelves to fit this credenza I'm restoring. I always procrastinate when saws are involved, but if that board was gonna cut itself it would have done so by now, lol.
guilty, guilty, and guilty. I agree that its OK to abandon projects that are not panning out (I'm looking at you, crocheted bathroom rug) so long as some get done.
For me, books on tape are better craft companions than movies.
Discerning: You have made a project. It's called a "portfolio" . Review your portfolio of project proposals with a friend of yours whose judgement you trust. Invite constructive critique. Then, pick one based on the critt and on what skill you might want to learn next. This actually sounds like an awesome date night, sorry, I'm married.
Plans are still things, things you have made, so relax.
I know, it's a little late for this, but spray paints and varnishes are worth the extra price.
My dear, you are starting to sound really unhappy. Consider discussion with a professional organizer.
Alphabet cross stitch for my niece's room. She's 2.5 years old now. Time to dust that project off and get it done.
Haha - Wallflowerpowers is definitely joking (and/or trolling).
This may sound a little weird but, what would the jacket look like cropped? Please don't put yourself through the wringer over a project that didn't go to plan. Celebrate the fact that you had the guts to try out a really great idea and then rethink it! If all else fails, make a simple tote-shaped bag out of your jacket, add loops (like belt loops) around the top and use these to thread through an interchangeable collection of sashes, bows, etc made from your accent materials.
How about a 4/5s completed 2-yo sized cotton sweater for my god-daughter--now age 31. Maybe she'll have kids.
A newborn sized cardigan for my niece, now aged ten. It's half sewn together.
Care Bear pillows. Pre-printed. All I had to do was cut them out, sew the two sides together and stuff. But noooooo. I decided that I wanted to embroider around the little stomach designs---remember? Rain cloud, sun, et cetera. Ha. Still in my sewing box after 30 years.
Do inherited projects count? My grandmother started making a Winnie-the-Pooh themed quilt for me when I was a baby or before I was born but never finished. I'm nearly 42 and she's been gone for almost six years. Somehow I ended up with the pattern and a box of pieces she'd already cut out for it and can't seem to bring myself to toss them, so they just hang out in the trunk of my car.
As for my own projects, I started a cross-stitch for my bathroom in 2004 that I have yet to finish up. I pull it out occasionally, make some progress, get bored with it or need to tidy up or something and put it away again. I should probably finish it up before I start on a new knitting project, huh?
Lamps out of gourds. I bought them about 4 years ago!!
What works for me is that when I'm stuck with a project, instead of making myself crazy, I put it down, do whatever else I have to do, go to sleep at night and somehow while I'm sleeping, my brain figures it out what the problem is and the next day, I can continue with my project at hand and feel GOOD about it. gb
Ana: yes, I liked Wallflowerpowers' comment too. I hope his/her ankle is better. ; >
I guess it is good I don't have a glue gun?
Hi Wallflowerpowers – I just had to thank you for the laughs! Brings back memories of my own "Lucy" DIY adventures.
I'm so glad to know that my condition has a name - Craft Project ADD! Although there are a few unfinished projects around my house, starting projects that I don't finish isn't my primary problem. My problem is that a certain craft will look like so much fun so I go out and buy tons of materials and tools. I do a project or two and then something else looks like even more fun so I invest in a bunch of stuff for my new interest. I do occasionally return to a previous hobby for awhile, but I'm more likely to start on an entirely new endeavor. We recently moved into a smaller house and trying to find room for all of my accumulated materials has caused me to declare a moratorium on starting any projects that can't be completed with what I already have. Great article and comments! It's nice to know that others share one's affliction. LOL
Never finished the Christmas stocking for my son who's 33 now and has a family of his own. Never even started ones for my grandkids (so I guess I learned something, huh?) My first-born has the one I personalized for her though. Those first-borns are (almost) always the lucky ones!

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Skyride in Riverfront Park is always a big attraction. Tourists and locals alike are able to get a view of the whole city from above. This hot summer has prevented several people from enjoying that view in the afternoon hours.
There is no cooling system in the cabins, so officials said they quickly heat up. The ride has been completely shut down over a dozen afternoons due to heat concerns. KREM 2 crews talked to riders in the late morning, before it was even super hot out. They told us they were already getting hard to handle.
"It's not very comfortable," said Amy McMullen. "You're anxious to get going again. It's okay when they're moving, but when they stop, you're ready to get out."
Riverfront Park is trying to get a cooling system installed in time for next summer. They still haven't nailed down a plan to get that done.
If you're interested in riding but worried about the heat, keep in mind the ride will likely be open if it is less than 90 degrees out. High winds can also close the ride.

Felt like painting some dwarves after watching the amazing Hobbit trailer. This is one of them, I just don't know which one. For the first time, I started thinking about brushes and how to configure them; wow I am a slow learner to only start doing this now lol.

Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac Prevention (cont.)
The rash will only occur where urushiol has touched the skin; it doesn't spread throughout the body. However, the rash may seem to spread if it appears over time instead of all at once. This is either because the urushiol is absorbed at different rates in different parts of the body or because of repeated exposure to contaminated objects or urushiol trapped under the fingernails.
The rash, blisters and itch normally disappear in 14 to 20 days without any treatment. But few can handle the itch without some relief. For mild cases, wet compresses or soaking in cool water may be effective. Oral antihistamines can also relieve itching.
There are a number of OTC products to help dry up the oozing blisters, including:

Slate Flooring
Slate floor and wall tile was installed in our bathroom and was never sealed. The floor and shower walls are now starting to stain and turn white.
How can I clean them? Sanding? Polisher?
And then what is the best product to seal with?
Thank you.
The reason why phosphoric acid is the most commonly used active ingredient in bathroom cleaners is that it will cut through soap scum like a hot knife through butter, but won't attack chrome plating.
So, buy any phosphoric acid based bathroom cleaner or toilet bowl cleaner and see if it cleans the white film off your bathroom slate floors and walls. Bathroom cleaners will typically have about a 5 to 10 percent phosphoric acid content, whereas phosphoric acid toilet bowl cleaners will typically be 15 o 20 percent phosphoric acid. So, you need to be a bit more cautious using a toilet bowl cleaner, especially on any unsealed grout. 20 percent phosphoric acid will eat your grout, so maybe dilute it with water a bit. Also, the toilet bowl cleaner will be gelled so that it sticks to surfaces better.
I'd check to see if phosphoric acid removes the white discolouration from your slate, and if so, it's probably soap scum and any bathroom cleaner will remove it.
Johnson Wax is well respected in the janitorial business because they make good sealers and finishes for commercial flooring like vinyl composition tile floors (many janitorial service companies make much of their income maintaining VCT tile floors). And, they train their sales representatives well. I'd ask for the name and phone number of the local S. C. Johnson sales rep, and go with his recommendation.
There are two different kinds of acrylic sealers. Sealers that form a waterproof film over the masonary are called "film forming sealers". Sealers that penetrate into the masonary and occupy all the highest capillary pressure sites, and then harden up in those locations are called "penetrating sealers". In my view, it's best to have a film forming sealer on the walls of a shower so that you can clean that shower with an acidic cleaner to remove the soap scum without harming the grout, but to have a penetrating sealer on the floor of a shower or bathroom so that the floor isn't slippery when wet. Similarily, you want to use a film forming sealer on kitchen floors and on counter tops where soft food would otherwise get mooshed into porous grout and provide a food source for bacteria.
I don't know if Johnson Wax makes a penetrating sealer for masonary floors. I do know that "Technique" is an excellent sealer for vinyl composition tile floors, but it works by forming an impermeable film, and wouldn't be appropriate to use on a bathroom or shower floor because it would make the floor very slippery when wet.
If you can't get hold of the S. C. Johnson Wax sales rep, you might want to try using Tile Lab "Gloss" Sealer & Finish on your slate bathroom walls and Tile Lab "Matte" Sealer & Finish on ONLY the bathroom floor grout lines (not the slate itself) which are available at Home Depot. The reason why I'm suggesting these two products is that they can both be easily removed using Tile Lab's "Heavy Duty Grout Cleaner & Stripper". Both sealers stick to the grout well and last a long time, but one advantage is that they're easy to remove should you want to.
Also, if you're going to use the Tile Lab Gloss or Matte sealers, be sure to give the walls and floors a good cleaning with a phosphoric acid based cleaner to remove any soap scum first. The reason for this is that mildew feed on the vegetable oils that bar soaps are made from, and so soap scum represents a food source for mildew as well. If you put a sealer over soap scum, you can have mildew feeding on that soap scum under the sealer. So, a good cleaning to remove that soap scum first is in order, and having the ability to remove the sealer where you might see mildew growing under it is also in order. Mildew will never grow on clean grout under a sealer because, just like everything else, it needs food to survive.
Cleaning a slate floor is relatively easy, especially if you take steps to keep the floor in good condition. The important thing to remember is that slate is very porous, even when a sealer is applied, which means that it can be stained by some cleaning fluids, and extremely alkaline solutions can sometimes cause cracks or pits in a slate floor. If you take good care of a slate floor, it should endure for many years of use.
I was going to say that slate is a natural stone & I don't think I'd use anything on it that wasn't meant for stone. There are many stone cleaners & sealers out there- I'd try those first. If the "soap scum" doesn't come up , then try the phosphoric acid cleaners. I'd try 1st in a small inconspicuous place to make sure no damage is done. I'd be careful with the toilet bowl cleaners- Those colored ones can sometimes stain- especially your grout.
Then I'd find a good quality stone sealer, you don't really want to use something else it might affect th look of your slate. There is a product called Miracle 511, used for cleaning, sealing... stone products. Probably available at any HD or Lowes
Good Luck
If you go the phosphoric acid route I would try it on an inconspicuous area first or even better on a spare tile left over from the install.
Before going that route I would try a cleaning product called CLR. The white could be calcium/hard water too.

What does SBA's elevation to Cabinet mean for small business?
Monday - 1/16/2012, 4:32pm EST
As part of the proposal, the SBA would be elevated to a Cabinet spot until the new department, focused on business competitiveness, can be stood up.
So what does the SBA's elevation to the Cabinet mean for the federal employees who work there and the small businesses the agency promotes?
Guy Timberlake, the chief visionary officer at the American Small Business Coalition, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the perceived benefits of SBA's elevation and what kind of changes it could bring to government and contractors.
Timberlake tackled these same questions in a blog post on his ASBC blog:
" Will any of this really make a difference for small businesses, especially those engaged in federal contracting? If so, when will it make a difference? Will this recent and the proposed merger actually do more harm than good by creating more confusion? Will it also increase the burden agencies and businesses currently face by piling on more process in an effort to streamline current processes (that already overtax the resources of these agencies and the businesses they are charged with supporting)?"

Ever wonder how to get the most out of your athletic performance? Or maybe how to inspire your kids to stay in shape? Welcome to the newest science exhibit at the Kirby Science Center at the Washington Pavilion. Starting Line: Fit For Life opened this month to rave reviews.
"I think its pretty fun here, " said 11-year old Carolina Valencia who attended the grand opening. "When they opened it I was happy."
Kids and adults can see how their skills stack up against world class athletes.But becoming a true MVP requires learning proper technique.
"Probably the most important thing is just showing proper ways to train. Young kids, shouldn't necessarily be doing the same types of lifting or work outs that you'd see in college and high school athletes, " said Jason Askew, Manager of the Avera Sports Institute.
You can test your jumping abilities, dexterity, and reaction times at the exhibit. But the professionals at the Avera Sports Institute which sponsored the exhibit can tailor an athletic program to ensure your young athlete gets off on the right foot.
"It's very important to be careful with the strength training of young athletes," he said. "So they won't be in a situation where they can get turned off by working out. "
The exhibit includes ten different interactive stations based on various fitness and sporting events, including a pitching cage that doubles as a sprint track. It allows participants to check the speed of their fastball or how they rate running against Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis or even a jaguar!

Fatal error during install
19 February 2008 at 6:33pm
Hi and kia ora from New Zealand.
I am attempting to install SilverStripe for the firsttime but I keep getting a fatal error. The error says the following:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 84 bytes) in /home/kevbeck/public_html/traderite/sapphire/core/Object.php on line 254
However, I have raised the memory of PHP in my phpinfo.php file to 512M and I STILL get this error, which is ridiculous! Is there a workaround for this? If not I am going to dump the whole thing and get another CMS as I have spent hours trying to fix this problem already - I would like to use this CMS as it looks great and supports OpenSource, but if it can't install with 512M memory there is something seriously wrong. Even my host tech support team are baffled about this error.
Please can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Re: Fatal error during install
19 February 2008 at 8:42pm
Don't worry ... I'm deleting it ... shame really, but I need a CMS now.

According to the error, your memory limit is 40 M. How did you increase your limit?
If you need a less memory intensive version, try a daily build, which use a lot less memory.
Re: Fatal error during install
19 February 2008 at 9:59pm
I get that same 40M error message no matter what I set the php memory limit to - it just happens in different places when I change the memory limit. The limit is being changed, at the instruction of my web host, in the php.ini file in the SilverStripe uploaded files (/sapphire/core/ I think it is).
I'm not worried about a memory intensive version - I can sort that later - I can't even install at the moment.

in sapphire/core/Core.php, using ini_set();?
As you're having memory problems, I would think a not so memory intensive version might be helpful (;
Re: Fatal error during install
20 February 2008 at 9:20am
I'm not sure about ini_set .... I asked my host to do it. I will try and check with them. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think I have a solution as to why simply changing the php.ini and .htaccess doesn't solve the memory problem...
Create a file and save it as: php.ini
Type the following into the php.ini document:
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)
upload_max_filesize = 32M
Then, save this php.ini file in every folder that has a script in it (all all the folders if you're no sure which have scripts or not). This means all sub-folders too.
Then re-install.
The easiest way to do this is to do it on your PC/ Mac using copy and paste before uploading the folder containing the CMS up to your server. I.e. it can be a pain in the ass copy and pasting (and making sure it's the right file you're working with etc) on the server [unless you're good with shell commands and all that stuff].
Good Luck - I hope this helps others, because I was going mental for hours trying to fid a solution.
If 32M doesn't cut it - keep increasing it until you get the sweet spot...

This top-quality Soprano Sax includes many innovations that have made Yanagisawa a favorite among professional musicians.
Adjustable front F key
The side F key is operated from the front, expanding the ability to produce the flageolet sound. The opening of the F key can be adjusted individually, so that the optimum point can be easily found.
The teflon inner octave system
Both the ends of the octave key axis are in a ball shape and teflon is inserted in both receptacles of the ends to eliminate any looseness and ensure smooth operation.
C#-Bb connected table key
The C# key and Bb key have adopted a seesaw system to make speedy but smooth finger travelling possible.
C#-Bb & C#-B double connected table key
C# - Bb keys are connected with a seesaw system between the C# - B, and a smooth connected motion has been achieved.
Round surface octave key
The surface of the octave key has been rounded to fit the finger shape and movement to achieve a smooth touch.
White shell lined indented keys
Keys are lined with white indented shell to enhance their beauty and the natural touch from finger fitted shapes of the keys. The keys also prevent finger slippage from perspiration.
One key column long seat
Functioning in favor of the shock-proof nature of the pipe.
Goldplated thumb hook & rest
Mounted with only four small points actually making contact with the body, the thumb hook has virtually no effect on the resonance of the instrument and the thumb rest. Made of brass it permits a more consistent tonal range.
Pointed pivot screw

ICF International
Categorized Under: Transportation
ICF International led the development of this primer that describes the role of transportation systems management and operations (M&O) in advancing livability and sustainability. The document highlights the connections between M&O and livability and sustainability objectives and the importance of a balanced, comprehensive approach to M&O in order to support those objectives. The document describes nine key elements for managing and operating transportation systems in ways that support livability and sustainability. The document also provides a vision of how the regional transportation system could look in the future if M&O strategies were comprehensively implemented to advance livability and sustainability goals. Case examples throughout and a section on implementation will help practitioners to get started on implementing M&O to support livability and sustainability in their communities.

What it is
To the folks of Conway, Duncan Mayor (Andy Garcia) is a very cranky guy. To his wife Suzy (Mary-Louise Parker), he's a doting pussycat. But Suzy is ailing and is being cared for by nurse Natalie (Mandy Moore), whom Duncan tries his best to ignore. Duncan decides the best medicine for Suzy—and a Christmas present she'll never forget—is a ride on a Ferris wheel, set up in their own backyard. Meanwhile, neighbor Gayle Matthews (Cheri Oteri) is determined her yard is going to win the town's "Christmas Showcase." She's hired Tommy (Riley Smith)—a young, award-winning landscaper and Suzy's former student—to make it happen. But as soon as her job is done, Tommy starts to work next door. Fearing the competition, Gayle calls on her brother—who's also the sheriff—to intervene. There are zoning laws to prevent this kind of thing, aren't there? Christmas in Conway is a testament to love, filled with scenes of hilarity. You won't want to miss it.

Some reasons why I'm voting for President Barack Obama.
Not that anyone really cares, but hey, it's Tumblr, so I figured I'd share why I'm voting Obama/Biden on the 6th.
I'm a woman. No, seriously, this is one of the reasons. President Obama has a firm stance on women health issues- that what goes on in a woman's uterus is up to the woman that owns said uterus. Romney is against most forms of birth control and would (happily) overturn Roe vs. Wade. He has also said he would defund Planned Parenthood, which gives away thousands of pap tests, mammograms, and other health services to women who otherwise can't afford them. The right wing believes it's okay that Medicaid pays for Viagra, but not birth control. Seems kind of hypocritical, right?
I'm Pansexual. Mitt Romney has stated that he would add a Constitutional amendment stating that marriage is between a man and a woman. President Barack Obama believes in human equality. As a Pansexual woman, that means it is possible for me to fall in love with any gender, so by voting Romney/Ryan I would be shooting myself in the foot. Romney is a bigot of the worstkind and I personally don't think bigots should be allowed to run our country. I'm no different from the rest of the country other than I love people for who they are (not what's between their legs), so why should I be fighting for the same rights everyone else has?
I have a pre-existing condition. I have Meniere's Disease, which is an inner ear disorder that causes severe vertigo, nausea, drop attacks, and hearing loss. It's hard to diagnose and difficult to treat. It runs in my family (three cases in three generations) and I've been fighting it since I was fifteen. It took many years and many doctors to be able to get the right diagnosis. There's a good chance that my son may end up inheriting it too and thankfully, Obamacare prevents insurance companies from denying children with pre-existing conditions. This leads into my next point.
I'm a mother. I have a young son and like every other mother, I want the best for him. I want him to go to college and to be able to get financial aid if he needs it. I want him to be able to marry and spend his life with who he will love, regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. I want him to be able to afford decent healthcare and lead a healthy life. I just want him to be happy and to be able to have opportunities to choose a career he will love. I truly believe that President Obama is the best for our country and, by default, the best for my son's future.
So, those are just a few of my reasons for voting for President Obama and Vice President Biden next Tuesday. Whoever you decide to vote for, make sure you do go out and vote. Make your voice heard.

Michael A. Rice
Job Title:
19 Woodward hall,
We work in the area of environmental physiology of marine invertebrates, focussing on factors that affect the growth and reproduction of economically important bivalve mollusks. We have worked within the context of understanding factors that influence shellfishery recruitment, as well as factors that influence growth and production in shellfish aquaculture. Key areas of study include molluscan particle filtration rates, organic seston fluxes in shellfish habitat, and the optimization of aquaculture systems based on these factors. We also study the environmental impacts of shellfish aquaculture systems.
Another area of our research interest involves the role of the uptake of dissolved organic material as a nutrition source for benthic marine invertebrates. Populations of mollusks and other invertebrates actively transport dissolved organic material from seawater at rates that are of nutritional significance to the individual organisms, as well as being of potential significance to the cycling of organic nitrogen in shallow estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
We are also interested in the impacts of factors such as fishing effort and nutritional status on the reproduction, recruitment and disribution of bivalve mollusks such as oysters and quahogs in estuarine enviroments

When I saw the Uggla name in a Marlins box score for the first time, I was sure it was a typo. (That's "typographical error" for those of us who deal in short-cuts.) I mean, whoever heard of such a name?Well, if I were Swedish, I would have. The Ugglas are Swedes, and in Swedish an "uggla" translates into "owl," like the feathery night bird. This Uggla, being Dan, is the Braves' new second baseman. To the Florida Marlins, Dan Uggla represents the best investment of their franchise, picked up for $50,000 under what is known as "a Rule 5 draft" five years ago, when somebody in the Arizona Diamondbacks office got careless. After five seasons in their farm system, the D-backs felt comfortable in leaving him exposed. Wrong! After five seasons as the Marlins' second basemen, they felt comfortable offering him a $48 million contract, which you'd consider rather generous. But that was for four years. He wanted five, he and his agent. The Braves raised them to $60 million and gave him the five years. And Thursday afternoon, deep in the bowels of Turner Field, it all came together, and they gathered and made it official. Uggla signed, and Frank Wren, who shifts the Braves' gears, and Fredi Gonzalez, the former coach who returns as manager, all glowed with joy. I couldn't help but notice that throughout the proceedings, Uggla often patted the contract that lay before him, signed with his full name "Daniel Cooley Uggla," and called for a salary of $62 million for five years of service. That comes to roughly $12.4 million per season, more than any second baseman has ever made in the major leagues, not even Charley Gehringer, nor Rogers Hornsby, nor Ryne Sandberg — and I could go on, but, of course, that's pure folly. Another age, another economy, another major league. Uggla leads all current second basemen in home runs since he broke in with the Marlins in 2006. Last season, he led them all with 33 home runs, 105 runs batted in and a .287 batting average. They say he preferred the Braves because of his record at Turner Field, a .354 batting average, 12 home runs and 36 RBIs. Besides, it's not that far from Columbia, Tenn., where he makes his home. This is always brought up in such a sweetheart deal, though if the highest offer had taken him to Seattle, geography would not have hindered him, I'd guess. Understand, he is 31 years old. He is also built like a pulling guard, 5-foot-11, about 215 pounds, and a prominent jaw and a chiseled chin. He looks tough, and is. In his five Marlin seasons, he has hit 154 home runs and driven home 465. Now, you will read of snide critics, one who sneeringly writes that "he is a lousy second baseman." I challenge that. I've watched him all these seasons, and what I see, I like. He's a battler. Besides, he bats from the right side, and the Braves need a right-handed swinger to shore up Chipper Jones — and let me say right here, there is no doubt Chipper will be the third baseman next season, a project he has dedicated himself to since he left surgery last August. And there you have it. Your right side has been toughened, you are assured of a solid infield — Freddie Freeman is a subject to be wrought out later — and Dan Uggla, "The Owl," has found his roost. Furman Bisher is one of the deans of American sports writing. The longtime Atlanta sports journalist is a member of the Georgia and Atlanta Sports Halls of Fame and in addition to his newspaper writing has authored multiple books on major figures like Hank Aaron and Arnold Palmer. He writes periodic columns for the Daily Post.

Guess what ladies! Primaries are coming up. For the presidential election, that is. I feel like it's my responsibility, if I'm going to vote, to do it right. By that I mean that I feel like I should be informed by more than just the candidate's TV ads, factually based as they may be (ahem, sarcasm).
And it's not just the President that matters – your governor, senators, House rep, your mayor – these people matter, because politics are local, not just national. For example, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a bill into law that states that pregnancy is measured by the first day of her last period. Read more about the law here and how it affects women in Arizona.
I know so many women who don't vote because they feel overwhelmed, hate all the candidates, don't know there's an election (yes, seriously), or don't think it matters whether they vote or not. Most of these excuses sound very silly to me. If you don't vote, you are complicit in letting whoever DOES vote choose for you, and at a time when so many women's issues are up for debate, it's more important than ever to get your cute, informed patootie to voter registration and then to the polls. This should help.
This year, there are so many things to worry about: the economy, jobs, healthcare, gun control, defense spending, foreign policy, public education, student loan programs, and social welfare programs – the list goes on, and every woman has one or two issues that are most important to her. I can't help but wonder: how can women dive into all of these issues without first thinking about the issues that affect women the most? It seems like it would be pretty hard for a woman to get an education and build her career in, say, environmental law, if she can't decide what's going on in her uterus first. And, wouldn't a woman be a little distracted from solving world hunger if she couldn't legally marry and raise her own children with whomever she pleases? And, wouldn't you think it would be pretty difficult for a woman in Michigan, for example, to teach a high school health class effectively if a female state senator gets banned from the floor for two days, simply for saying the word "vagina" during a healthcare debate? Yes, that really happened.
Frankly, I am very confused about why so many women's rights issues are even issues – rights are called "rights" because they should not be up for debate or for vote. For women to be the best, most productive members of their families and of their communities, they first need to have autonomy over themselves and rights that are exactly equal to those of men. I will not tell you who to vote for (although I would like to), but I WILL tell you to inform yourself and to vote. Women had to fight tooth and nail to achieve suffrage in 1920. Don't take it for granted!

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/12 -- Credit Sesame, the consumer's credit and loan expert, launched the first true free credit monitoring service that uses data from the largest U.S. credit bureau, Experian. Available now, the new service will track a consumer's credit activity and send alerts when important changes occur, allowing consumers to take action to protect and improve their good financial standing and credit score.
Consumers have the option of receiving credit monitoring alerts via their Credit Sesame account, phone or email. Credit monitoring will also be simultaneously released on the company's iPhone and Android mobile apps, so consumers can benefit from credit monitoring on the go.
The addition of free credit monitoring to Credit Sesame's existing free credit score, aggregated credit information, peer comparison data, bank-level analytics and market monitoring provides consumers with the most comprehensive free online and mobile resource to track and improve their credit standing, build knowledge and get better loan and savings opportunities.
"We believe complete financial transparency is a consumer right, which is why we worked so hard to bring free credit monitoring to consumers. Your credit score and information on your credit report have a very real impact on your bottom line and determine the cost of your credit and loans. Both ultimately impact your wealth and the quality of your life," said Adrian Nazari, founder and CEO of Credit Sesame.
For example, on a $250,000, 30-year fixed rate mortgage, a person with a credit score of 760 will qualify for an interest rate that is half a percentage point less than someone with a score of 699 in today's market. This can equate to saving $20,341* in interest over the life of the loan.
Credit Sesame's credit monitoring service will help consumers:
•Save money: Other companies charge approximately $200 per year for consumers to monitor their credit.** Credit Sesame now provides this service for free. Tracking a credit score and monitoring report activity can also help a consumer protect and improve his or her financial standing in order to save money immediately and over the long term, with access to better loans with lower interest rates.
•Get transparent access to their credit: Credit monitoring provides a transparent view of credit scores and report activity. It empowers consumers to take control and protect their financial standing.
•Detect and limit the damage from identity theft: Notifications of balance changes, address changes, inquiries made and new accounts opened inform consumers of potential fraudulent activity sooner.
•Stay on top of their credit: By tracking more than 40 activities, our monitoring service helps consumers stay on top of their credit and quickly fix any potential problems that could cost thousands of dollars if left unaddressed.
Enrollment is free and optional for Credit Sesame users, who can opt out of the service at any time. For more information, please visit www.creditsesame.com.

With a lower APR 3.036% for better credit scores of 760 - 850, the monthly payment is $1,059 and total interest paid is $131,191 Monthly savings equal $56, yearly savings are $672 and interest savings total $20,341 over the life of the loan.
** On average, firms charge a monthly fee of $16.82 for credit monitoring (based on providers listed on Next Advisor 11/2012), which totals to $200 per year. The cost among most providers ranges from $10 - $30 per month.

Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 – Battle of the Boroughs
August 16th, 2011 by John Kim | 3 comments
While Nike is based in on the West Coast, they have never been shy about the cultural importance of New York as a mecca for sneakerheads. As a result, we've seen countless models over the years paying tribute to NYC in some form, and the Battle of the Boroughs pack follows down that tradition. Earlier today we showed you the Queens and Bronx versions of the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 and now Brooklyn and Harlem enter into the fray with these two special releases of the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011. You can catch the Battle of the Boroughs game this Saturday at Dyckman Park, where the boroughs will face off while wearing these Hyperfuse 2011s, but if you want to cop a pair, catch these at Boulevard Ice! via Dime.

Hey guys i hope you like this tutorial on how to make gold please like, comment and subscribe for more :D.
Hey guys i hope you like this tutorial on how to make gold please like, comment and subscribe for more :D.
np dude, the time it takes is not to long, 1 kit usually takes me less than
20min to make so its really fast and easy! Since you found this useful id
appreciate a sub and a like
Umm, i usually go with alchemy but you can pretty much do every profession
in the game, even first aid
How to you trade the items to the buyer? Just multiple trades? And if so
when do you collect the gold from them? the first trade or the last trade a
little bit after each trade?
Nice man, you should sub as a return
um, i think i mentioned it in the video but what i do is i store it in my
Guild bank and tell them to deposit gold, when they do, let them take the
stuff out, A like and a sub would be greatly appreciated as much time and
thought went into the video
Nice and legit guide, but I wont call the players stupid really, since it's
time consuming to go read the shop list and search the auction house, store
all the mats, etc. You've already done that, and I wouldn't mind paying a
2-3k more and have everything done for me mostly. It would be retarded for
people who are struggling with gold to buy it, but for players who are
loaded, this is perfect, and those might be your prim customers. Cheers
Thanks for the guide.
I have made a total of 40k gold this past month! Thanks man
Good video but I just don´t know what kind of material I should choose? For
example alchemy: There are so many herbs needed. Should I buy everything on
the list? Thanks

This is one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had. Since apricots are not in season or available in the store I used champagne mango, and it worked out great. It's light, healthy and refreshing, highly recommended.

Yeah, it's official: I am in love with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West as a couple. Come on -- did you SEE the adorable video montage Kim made for Kanye showcasing some of their sweetest moments? There's no denying that Kimye is head over heels, ecstatic to be together with their beautiful daughter North, and looking forward for all that the future has in store for them. What's that, exactly? Well a wedding, first of all, but apparently Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want more kids, and soon.
A source tells Hollywood Life that Kim and Kanye have told their families that they want a whole house full of babies. Apparently, Kimye wants "Nori to have lots of brothers and sisters."
Lots?! Will the Kardashian/West fam soon be driving around in stacked Mercedes Benz SUVs with multiple car seats inside? Forget the Kardashian clan, it sounds like the Wests are gearing up to make an empire of their own!
More from The Stir: Kim Kardashian Takes a Spill on Skis & It's Caught on Camera! (VIDEO)
I have my doubts about how soon this whole West empire will really expand, though. I mean -- we know that Kanye wants a huge wedding and Kim's all for it. With that said, I don't think a pregnant bride is in his plans. Plus, the duo is unstoppable right now -- going on ski vacations, filming sexy music videos, and parading around owning Hollywood. Something tells me that once the wedding bells have rung, that's when the baby makin' will jump start again.
I know what you're all thinking: Does this mean Kim and Kanye will "retire" from the industry? Will the two entertainment moguls actually fall out of the spotlight for good?! Eh, I highly doubt it. However, with the way the two lovebirds value family and how we've seen their priorities shift already since having North, I wouldn't be surprised to see them take a major step back. Bring it on, Kimye! Just please, don't name your next child a direction. I beg you.
Would you like to see Kim and Kanye have more kids? Do you think they'll ever disappear from the spotlight?
Image via kimkardashian/Instagram
of course they will disappear...her soul is hurt and she wants a more private life.....i guess velez is the only sucker who believed that
I wish people would stop calling the kid "Nori". Her disgusting parents named her "North". They can't try and better it now that the attention has died down from the name.
Again, do you report on anything else besides these people the prince/princess and the bachelor/bachelorette
parading and owning Hollywood? Are you on crack? Please explain how they are "owning Hollywood"? More like people who are on E! and in rag mags. Hollywood "owners" are A-listers who work hard at their craft for decades not made famous for physical brutality. comparing themselves to Jesus & getting urinated on. As a writer you need to go back to school & educate youself. Your writing is terrible and gross.

What The Papers Say - 19 November
Martinez, Cadamarteri and Elstone in Tuesday's press round-up.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Ross Barkley, who could win his third England cap against Germany later this evening, has received more plaudits from Roberto Martinez in Tuesday's papers.
In the Daily Mirror, the Blues boss says his midfielder is 'as talented as anyone you see' and that he possesses the technical attributes you would more associate with a Brazilian or Dutch footballer.
Martinez has also been speaking in the Liverpool Echo where he explains that he is not worried by Everton's failure to score in their last two matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
The same paper also includes feature interview with Everton Chief Executive Robert Elstone who has been outlining his vision for the Club and reflecting on the recent successes of the Toffees' official charity, Everton in the Community.
Mr Elstone also discusses Everton's ambitions to give supporters the best matchday experience possible whenever they visit Goodison Park.
With the build-up to the Merseyside derby increasing with each passing day, the Echo have interviewed former Blue Danny Cadamarteri, who lit up the meeting between the two clubs in October 1997.
Elsewhere, the Daily Star, Daily Express and The Times report that Phil Jagielka will return to the England side for the Wembley friendly against Germany.

5 Ways You Could Be Adding to Workplace Stress
Being a good boss isn't easy, but it may help to know that most people want to follow an effective leader. If your job involves supervising others, your actions could be the reason your employees aren't and your efforts are failing. Workplace stress caused by poor management is a common problem that leads to a number of emotional and health issues and is just plain bad for business, according to Stuart Sidle, PhD, an industrial-organizational psychologist who is chairman of the psychology department and director of the industrial/organizational psychology program at the University of New Haven in Connecticut.
How Poor Management Causes Workplace Stress
Sidle offers five ways that you could be causing on-the-job stress, along with some suggestions for avoiding it:
1. Not Hiring Employees Who are Capable of Doing the Job. When an employee is put into a capacity that's way above her ability and experience level, it can set her up for failure and be a serious cause for workplace stress. The situation can also cause on-the-job stress for everyone else who is dependent on that employee's job performance. Sidestep the problem by investing the necessary time up front to carefully screen job applicants and find the best fit for your jobs.
2. Not Establishing Clear Expectations or Priorities. If your employees don't know what's expected of them, they may be working hard yet falling short of specific goals. If you have not clearly stated your priorities, you could be making it difficult for employees to efficiently manage multiple tasks. The best way to avoid this problem is by defining your key expectations and communicating how and when you would like them executed.
3. Allowing Your Own Stress to Affect Your Employees. When your employees see you overwhelmed by difficult problems, they may be less optimistic about the workplace, which can lead to poor morale. The best way to take control of the situation is by setting an example of how you expect your employees to act when the going gets tough. Don't let workplace stress get the best of you. You can also serve as a role model by demonstrating good stress management techniques such as incorporating regular exercise and hobbies in your life, and balancing work and family well.
4. Not Preparing Employees for Difficult Situations. In even the best run workplace, there will be times when things don't go as expected. But if your employees aren't prepared for the worst, they may not know how to regroup when things do go wrong. To avoid this problem, make an effort to reach out to employees and trouble-shoot various scenarios and solutions. Also try to foster an environment where co-workers help and support each other when things get tough so everyone will pull together as a team to get the job done.
5. Not Communicating Change Effectively. Change is essential to any business, but all too often, employees are left in the dark when it comes to big decisions. If you don't explain the rational behind any current or proposed changes, you could be increasing your employees' frustration and on-the-job stress by expecting them to blindly follow along without having all of the necessary information. Instead, make it a point to clearly explain the benefits of any changes or new rules right at the beginning and show that you endorse the decision so your employees can follow your good example.
