Marianne's Playful Vintage Mix in Melbourne
House Tour
Name: Marianne Rutherford of Esme and the Laneway
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Size: About 11m long and 8m wide
Years lived in: 3.5 years; Owned
This may be our first tour brought to you by way of Instagram. While perusing my friends' feeds, Marianne's pastel-tinged photos commonly popped up as "liked" by the decor-loving demographic in my feed (alongside for her collection of dazzling vintage outfits).
Enter House TourUpdate by update, I got glimpses of a life of a collector, lover of color and print, a young woman with enough flourish to set design a Douglas Sirk feature! Marianne has now opened the doors all the way from halfway around the globe to share a look into all corners of her home.
Enter House Tour
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: I love vintage in general and a number of eras including Art Deco, and Victorian, and here I like to mix mid century modern styles with new and older things. I like to be playful, and I love colour.
Inspiration: A mix of homes from the 1950s and early 1960s, other Melbourne homes in the inner suburbs, and the house itself, which was built in the 1960s, in a very midcentury Melbourne style. I had to work out what it wanted, too!
Favorite Element: I love the high pitched ceilings in the centre, with the large windows, and the two huge windows that make up the front walls of both of the front rooms. And the floorboards! I'd always dreamed of living in a much older house, with high ceilings and floorboards and fireplaces - places with great bones - but knew that couldn't be what we'd get with our first place, so I was chuffed to get at least part of that.
Biggest Challenge: There have been a few big ones! When we moved in, I was into a much darker, heavier style, and liked lots of Victorian and 1940's furniture, which was too dark and heavy for this place - and also simply too big! I had to get rid of my old vintage dressing table and wardrobe. It is technically a three bedroom place but that makes it sound way bigger than it really is. All the rooms are small, and we are always wishing there was just another foot here or there! Also, despite all the windows, it is quite dark, especially in winter, and there is very little direct sunlight during the day. And there is no kitchen window, so I've had to improvise! Oh and we keep three - yep, for two people, I know - bikes in the house!
What Friends Say: They've been really surprised in the past 6 months or so, as that is when we really made some big changes, got the furniture we have now and so on. They were a bit surprised we moved our bedroom into the room that is meant to be the study, but it is completely practical - it gets the heating/air conditioning so it's much more comfortable all year round.
Biggest Embarrassment: Oh, our backyard. It's terrible. We put in a little herb patch and that was nice for a while, but I want to start again out there. It's not a big yard and there are lots of things to consider, like access to meters, two gates, etc. But I plan to make it a nice place to eat outside on warm evenings. Also, our bathroom cabinets, bath, and sink are far from ideal, but they work and there's plenty of storage, so they are staying.
Proudest DIY: Easy - our white floorboards in two bedrooms. When we bought the place, these two rooms had carpet and everywhere else had dark stained boards. We were excited to find untouched boards under that old carpet, and felt we had to match them to the rest of the house, which was of course impossible, and a nightmare! I decided that we had to do a contrast instead, and I spent ages reading about white boards - including lots on here, which was really helpful! - you know, whether they are hard to look after and so on. I am thrilled with the result, which is white, but not opaque, and not too shiny. There is now so much light in both these rooms and it's easy to look after. Every now and then I get tempted to do the whole house but that would be a crazy investment! To be honest, I'd love to have kept the boards natural with just a clear varnish to protect them, all through the house, and have all the wood the same, or even painted white, the walls painted white, and then have natural wood shelves in the kitchen and so on, but that is a dream for a bigger budget. Actually all the walls were white when we moved in, or rather a dingy pale grey, and whoever had painted hadn't taken any care with it and it just looked tired and boring and depressing rather than fresh and airy. We could have experimented with better shades of white but I didn't want to risk it, and I love both strong and softer colours on the walls.
Biggest Indulgence: Not so much a cost but an inconvenience: keeping the enormous, dark wood Victorian mantle piece in the back room. Doesn't really fit physically, or style wise, but I don't care - I just love it! And I've put it to use. Also, I painted our tall, small bathroom a very dark teal-blue. It was a bold move but it's worked really well. The bathroom gets loads of sunlight all day, and when it was white it was difficult to even walk in there because it was so dazzlingly bright - and then on the first hot summer day we had here, we came home to find all the shampoo bottles had melted! We now have UV filter nets on the windows and the dark blue is just perfect.
Best Advice: Be who you are with your style - don't be afraid to do something bold - and don't be afraid to admit you made a mistake either. I found I had to live here for a while before I knew what I wanted to do with it, colour wise and so on. I painted the study pink in a kitsch phase and it was not right at all! I think it is important to make it somewhere comfortable and pleasant to be in for you, and to do what you like, rather than follow trends regardless of your own taste. We've also been very practical, in that we haven't wanted to spend too much, as we don't plan to live here forever!
Dream Sources: I love beautifully made pieces, whether antique, vintage or new. There are some incredible furniture designers in Australia and I'd love to buy some of their work.

Resources of Note:
• couch - on the footpath at the end of my street. I carried it home by myself!
• old tin (?) trunk, antique table (for the TV), big painting above the couch, 1950's yellow tall lamp, vintage magazine holder, Big Band records - op shops.
• tall skinny CD shelf, white plant pots, green rug - IKEA.
• plant stand - from our neighbour, on hard rubbish day. It was rusty but beautiful, and I'd have loved to have kept it that way but it looks much better in bright shiny white, although painting it took a surprisingly long time!
• coffee table and yellow armchair, low, narrow and wide mid century book shelf near the dining table- local vintage furniture shops.
• wooden ladder - built by John's late father decades ago.
• red 1960's record player - vintage curios shop in Carlton.
• old Shellac records (78s) in album, they still play so well and there are great tunes on them - antique market outside Melbourne.
• table and chairs set - amazing vintage and retro furniture shop called Model 143 in Preston. They always have great stuff at really good prices, we love them!
• two vintage dark green industrial lights/shades - I found three in a box in an opshop and got them for $10. I had a big smile on my face when I carried those home!
• blue and red book with personalised message dated 1916 - op shop.
• glass jars, cake stand, blue-green trolly - IKEA
• wooden chopping boards - a friend made them from a tree on from their property. They're very heavy so I use them to put hot pots on when I'm cooking.
• vintage yellow and jade green sugar and flour containers - from two different vintage shops, years apart!
• sheer white curtains, two sets, which are essential, we close them when we have people over and it lets in light but obscures the view of our bed, so it doesn't feel like a bedsit - IKEA (two sets).
• pink bedside table - stool from IKEA.
• green and mint 1960s lamp - Model 143.
• vintage Penguin books - ebay, Betty Macdonald is one of my all time favourite authors and they just happened to be orange Penguins!
• vintage and antique books and vanity case - op shops.
• 1960's suitcase - op shop
• the spider plant was a gift that Babycat has enjoyed a bit too much, but it is recovering.
• pictures - op shops
• glass bottle vases - tiny Italian fruit drinks.
• desk - IKEA
• ladder - also from hard rubbish, and I've just painted it coral (Solver Paints Cherokee) to store things like belts, my vintage hats and so on.
• 1950's green lamp - op shop
• flowers: Fowlers Flowers in Clifton Hill (gorgeous florist! Right next door to one of our favourite cafes so we are tempted every weekend when we walk past!)
• blue stool - IKEA
• globe - vintage and retro furniture and curios shop
• pink filing cabinet - op shop
• old wooden print tray - retro furniture shop in Reservoir. John used to be in the print trade before becoming a graphic designer and we both love lead type. But don't touch it too much!
• Olivetti typewriter - was John's brother's, and he typed up his uni assignments on it! I hope he doesn't mind us sharing that and therefore his age!
Enter House Tour
BACK ROOM (where all my clothes live!)
• vintage ladies bike - found on the street near our old place (in North Fitzroy) with a note saying "please take me" so I did, and it's perfect for me! I then saw the woman who owned it and left it to be taken and she was pleased it had gone to a good home. It has since been restored because after a few years of hard riding it was more rust than bike!
• mantle piece - found in a laneway in that North Fitzroy too. Weighs a tonne!
• mid century bookshelf under mantlepiece (and under the shoes!) (a perfect fit) - model 143.
• clothes racks - IKEA
• antique hat box - markets
• mirror - vintage shop in Clifton Hill
Other: vintage singer sewing machine - found on footpath (I thought it was an interesting looking wooden box and was thrilled to find what was inside it)
• 1960's blue suitcase - op shop
• old film reel, vintage vases - op shops

Too many photos not of "home"... please edit out stuff like flowers and bowls of hair clips these really tell me nothing about this great space. 8x11 really caught my eye!
wow, Marianne makes me want to move to Melbourne!
Source for her skin, please!
The house aspires to look as darling as does Marianne. Appears to be a work in progress.
Normally I'd edit out groups of the smaller objects, but from what I've absorbed of Marianne's lovely style is she's just as much about the little things in the corners of her home as much as the whole home, especially since fashion and accessories are an extension of her style throughout. Perhaps I found it all so charming, I didn't want to cut anything out :)
She has beautiful light! And second the secret to her skin.
All of the jealous. That maiden hair fern is the opposite of dead! Witchcraft, obviously.
No but I love it. Swoon party.
such a classy space! <3
If the ladies can swoon over Mark Jupiter on March 1, I may go gaga over Marianne!
However, I do reserve the right to covet Mark's workshop!
Marianne is beautiful.
Marianne is beautiful and her home is refreshingly unique...what I can see of it, that is.
Two photos of the Lula books? Why? And I agree with Nazz completely - why do we need to see hair clips or pixie stix? How do those items define the style of this lovely young woman?
The thing is, when you photograph too much of the little items around the home, you muddle the tour. With all the comments I've seen over the last few months (including a few of my own) begging for less "stuff" shots and more "full room" photos and floor plans, you'd think you'd get the message. Sorry, but it needs to be said.
By the way, I was so stoked to see her dining table and chairs up closer (love the turquoise), but I would have also have liked to have seen more of her bed than just a glimpse of the bedspread (which looked so cute). Less stuff, please, and more photos of the home with the stuff in it.
Thank you.
Think I'm slightly more impressed by the back view of her hairdo than of the decor...
so very lovely both
Vintage is not usually my thing...but I love this!
Yes, what Gregory said.
She is beyond adorable. I really like the kitchen. Think she needs to work on scale and placement of art in the rest of the home, though. Some of it seems too small or too high for the space.
Thanks Sally. If you're talking about the poster of Italy above our dining table, I couldn't agree more! We've been looking for a print for ages that would be right, and big enough, for that space – at least A0, it's a big empty space! – but haven't found the right one yet. Until recently we kept our bike stand and two bikes there, so it is a fairly new empty bit of wall :)
nice to see a fresh faced Aussie girl on AT. I enjoyed the photos in tour and even the little details that some were offended by (gah!) Melbourne is a hub for the quirky and I love it! ( even though i live in Sydney ) You are a beauty thats for sure keep it up great to be unique :)
Hi Mary,
I think the two Lula pics were a technical glitch :)
This tour covers everything at our place other than our toilet and bath tub – neither of which are very interesting – because it is quite a small place! The bedroom is literally just a bed and two bedside tables, and everything else can be seen, I promise! :D
Marianne, her complexion and her hair undo are amazing. I would love to see a photo of each of those dresses hanging on her clothes racks. I see some yummy fabrics.
Exactly! Its so fresh!
This would have to be one of my favorite tours..it's real and natural, vintage-y and colorful. I find the vignettes charming & with personal meaning to her from her descriptions. Marianne is such a beautiful lady with porcelain skin & lovely hair and what amazing vintage clothes! Plus, she loves one of my favorite authors...I have two vintage copies of "The Egg & I". :)
I love this, it makes me feel like I am looking at a more stylish version of my grandmas home. Usually that would be offensive, but I love my grandmotjers home.
Oh this is simply lovely! Wonderful tour Apartment Therapy.
It is nice to see an Aussie here and I loved the pictures of her home. You made me smile @rachelrobert, I'm from Sydney now living in the US and often feeling very far from home, but your Melbourne/Sydney comment made me realise that some things just don't change. Still that little rivalry between the two cities, thank you.
A lovely vintage styled home. Marianne I'd loved to know what color paint you used in the dressing room? And also the living/kitchen area? Maybe it's my computer but the color appears a very faint subtle blue? Thanks!
I see Babycat!! I have been following Marianne for a few years, very exciting to see her profiled on Apartment Therapy! Congratulations Marianne! Your house really looks like a home :)
the dress collection! the vintage books! the shoe and trinket covered fireplace!
Marianne! I covet your everythings.
Douglas Sirk, indeed! Marianne is really lovely.
Nice dresses!
ashley erin mayer
So many photos of stuff, I kept thinking maybe it was actually a store or workspace and checking back to the post- nope, house tour. Agree with others it would have been nice to see the house.
Loveliness! I'd love to know where you got the bedspread... even though I can only see a hint of it, i WANT IT.
Please, please tell me the color of your bathroom. That blue is stunning. And I too love all the little details. When a space is small, sometimes it's those artfully chosen and presented tiny things that make it come alive or give it depth and texture. Adore the Ned Myers art nouveau book cover, for instance. But again, the bathroom wall color!
Is this a house tour? I thought it was a store/business!
She is beautiful and I would love to see her home and not items
This is a beautiful house tour with just the right balance of 'house photos' and 'stuff photos'. You can clearly see the layout and feel of the house from the photos and it's great to see photos of the owners collections. It's these personal items which really make the space fabulous. I think that AT readers need to stop whingeing as this is not a Real Estate website. I'm not interested in seeing the living room from 5 different angles. Beautiful photography, keep up the good work.
Not my personal style but I do appreciate the tour because this whimsical world she created seems like a perfect extension of herself -- and it is lovely!
I love the photography,Great Job. I really get a sense of the style of the homeowner and the home based on the photographs,well done.

Change Heroes: Young Bostonian, 33 friends build school in Kenya
A few months ago, 22-year-old Evan Mula was a big-hearted dreamer in search of a way to give back. "That's how I was raised. You work hard, and you give to those in need," said Mula, a Waltham resident who calls Boston his playground.
His skepticism of charities always held him back, but Mula was inspired by Canadian entrepreneur Taylor Conroy's idea for an online platform that targeted Generation Y — an idea that would soon culminate into Change Heroes.
Conroy created the web platform with the goal of tapping into younger philanthropists who are "outcome oriented," Conroy said, meaning they want to see and feel the outcome of their efforts. That is the reason his platform gave donors on Mula's project — building a school in Kenya — the ability to visit the school that their donation funded. It also provides videos and photos of the Kenyan students, as well as progress reports and personalized "thank you" videos from the children.
Last month, Mula traveled with Conroy to Kenya to see first hand how the fund-raising efforts affected 1,000 children there.
"It was an amazing experience. The kids came running out to see us. They were so happy and grateful," he said. "I'd only ever been to 'developed' countries … Being there and [seeing] the result was absolutely incredible."
Talking with a generation
"The goal is to alleviate this generation's trepidation around giving by showing them exactly where their money is going," said Chelsea Moore, a spokeswoman for Change Heroes.
Since the 20 and 30-something crowd is one that likes to share, whether through Facebook, Twitter or a blog, Change Heroes equips donors with precise messages to post to social media sites.
Comforted by the platform's transparency and aim at a younger, social media-friendly generation, Mula reached out to Conroy to kick off his Boston-area campaign. He asked 33 friends to give $3.33 a day for three months, raising about $10,000 by early fall – enough to build a school in Kenya.
"The platform just checked all the boxes for me. People don't want to give $20 bucks and wonder where it goes," he said.
"I guess I wanted to prove that its not just the old, established business types who can make a difference."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
One reason I feel people take this game way too seriously is the time one must spend in order to get things done. Grinding and farming takes time, and if something/someone comes along and screws with us, that just takes more time.
Think about the old school PvP grinders. I talked to one of the last High Warlords on my server (after the change to cross-server but before the hp system), and it took him about 60 hours that week to go from Warlord to High Warlord, and about 75 hours the next week to keep it. That's more than a full time job devoted to this game to get something done.
I believe the people who spend the most time will find the most drama. I've seriously cut back on the amount I play per week for the past two months, and other than one thing in a former guild (so not a fan of the "just let anyone in" theory), I've not had one spot of drama that I cared about.

How long do septic systems last?
Septic systems are designed to provide long-term, effective treatment of household waste when operated and maintained properly. However, most systems that fail prematurely are due to improper maintenance. Less serious problems are usually with plumbing (such as pipe blockages from tree roots growing into the pipe). Sometimes, the septic tank, although durable, can deteriorate or have other structural problems. The most serious problems are the result of a clogged drainfield. Unfortunately, this is the most expensive to repair. Once the absorption field is clogged, it must be replaced and can cost thousands of dollars.
What is the replacement or reserve area?
This is an area that may be used for replacing or expanding the drainfield. It must meet the same criteria, such as acceptable soils, setbacks, etc., as a regular drainfield and should be protected in the same way.
How do I locate my septic system? How can I learn more about my property's septic system?
Obtain a copy of your property's septic system record drawing (usually referred to as an "as-built"), a diagram showing where your system components are located. You can obtain your property's as-built from your local health department or health district–some allow you to search for your as-built online.
How do I know my septic system is in good working order?
A septic system evaluation can be performed by a septic system professional. Some health departments and districts can perform this service, usually for a fee. Contact your local health department or district for more information.
What happens when a septic system fails? How can I tell?
Usually when a septic system fails, the drainfield is not functioning properly. When a septic tank overflows, the effluent can pass to the drainfield, clogging up the pipes. This causes sinks and toilets to back up in the house. Other signs include: slow draining toilets and drains, an odor of sewage, wet area on or near the drainfield, or contaminated well water.
How can I prevent a septic failure?
Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! If your system has been properly designed, sited, and installed, the rest is up to you. Inspect your system annually and pump as needed (usually every 3-5 years), avoid excess water use, and watch what you put down the drain and flush down the toilet. For additional information, visit the "System Maintenance" page.
Can my septic system contaminate my well and nearby streams and water bodies?
Yes, particularly if the effluent is not adequately treated, as in a failing system. Untreated effluent is a health hazard and can cause many human diseases. Once this untreated effluent enters the groundwater, you and your neighbor's wells can be contaminated. Also, if this sewage reaches nearby streams or water bodies, shellfish beds and recreational swimming areas may also be jeopardized.
Is there financial help available for failing systems or repairs?
Some health departments and districts in the Puget Sound region have low-interest loan and grant programs to help residents who live in shellfish protection areas or need financial assistance to maintain existing systems and repair failing septics. Visit the "In Your Local Area" page to access your local health department or district Web site for more information.
Why is water conservation important?
Septic tanks are mainly settling chambers. They allow time for solids and scum to separate out from wastewater, so clear liquid can safely go to the drainfield. Over time, the scum and sludge layers get thicker, leaving less space and time for the waste-water to settle before passing to the drainfield. There are limits to the amount of water septic systems can treat. For every gallon entering the tank, one gallon is pushed out. In some instances, too much water may back up into your house or overload the drainfield and surface in the yard. Large volumes of water in short periods of time may also not allow solids enough time to settle, and may be carried out to the drainfield, ultimately clogging the pipes.
I've heard I shouldn't use a garbage disposal. Why is that?
Garbage disposals have a dramatic impact on how often you'll need to pump your septic tank. Food particles usually are not digested by the bacteria and accumulate as scum. If a large amount of water enters the tank, it can then push the food particles into the drainfield, causing clogging. If you must use a garbage disposal, your tank will need to be pumped more frequently.
Should I be careful of what I pour down the drain?
Yes, many materials that are poured down the drain do not decompose and remain in the tank. In addition to minimal use of a garbage disposal (see question above), don't pour grease, fats, and oils down the drain or place coffee grounds and egg shells in the disposal or down the drain. Keep chemicals out of your system. See the "System Maintenance" page.
What shouldn't I flush down the toilet?
Flush only human waste and toilet paper down the toilet—avoid flushing dental floss, cat litter (including "flushable" varieties), hair, Kleenex, cigarette butts, cotton swabs, feminine hygiene products, condoms, paper towels, static cling sheets, diapers, and disposable wipes. These items could clog your septic system components and cause a failure.
Will additives help my system?
No. Adding a stimulator or an enhancer to a septic tank to help it function or "to restore bacterial balance" is not necessary. The naturally occurring bacteria needed for the septic system to work are already present in human feces. According to the U.S. Department of Health, none of these products eliminate the need for routine maintenance and pumping.
What can I plant over my drainfield and septic system?
Grass is the ideal cover for drainfields. Grasses can be ornamental, mowed in a traditional lawn, or in an unmowed meadow. Or, you can try groundcovers and ferns (for specific plants, see the "Drainfield Landscaping" page). For plantings over septic tanks, keep in mind, if you don't have risers installed, you will need to dig up the ground to access the tanks for inspection and pumping—generally every 3 to 5 years.
How close can trees and shrubs be to the drainfield?
Trees and shrubs generally have extensive root systems that seek out and grow into wet areas, such as drainfields. As a result, trees and large shrubs should be kept at least 30 feet away from your drainfield, and may require greater setbacks depending on the root structure and soil type. If you wish to plant trees near a drainfield, consult an expert who can determine types of plants and distances, based on your property's soil type.
Can I plant a vegetable garden over my drainfield?
No. Growing vegetables over a drainfield is not recommended. Vegetables need watering, and excess water in the soil reduces its ability to treat wastewater. The deep roots of some vegetables may damage drainfield pipes. Bed preparation, such as rototilling or deep digging, can also damage pipes. Plus, there is the risk of contaminating food crops with sewage.
What about landscape plastic or fabric under mulch, can that be placed over the drainfield?
No. Plastic reduces the necessary air exchange in the drainfield soil. Even mulch or bark over the drainfield is not recommended, because it reduces air exchange and retains water.
Can I build a carport or camper pad over the drainfield? How about a tennis court or hot tub?
No, for two reasons. First, you should avoid driving over the drainfield– the pressure of vehicles and heavy equipment compact the soil and can damage pipes. Second, impermeable materials such as concrete and asphalt reduce evaporation and the supply of oxygen to the soil. Oxygen is critical to the proper breakdown of sewage by soil microorganisms.
How about putting my carport over the replacement area?
No. The designated drainfield replacement area (reserve area) should be left undeveloped and protected from compaction in case you must repair or replace your drainfield in the future.
Can cattle graze over the drainfield? How about just one horse?
Livestock should be kept off of drainfields. In the winter, livestock trample and muddy the soil; in the summer they compact it. Again, this is not good for the soil's ability to exchange oxygen. So, sorry, even one horse is not recommended.
Rainwater is directed onto my drainfield, is this a problem?
Yes. Downspouts and stormwater from surfaces such as driveways and patios should be diverted off the septic tank and drainfield. A small trench uphill from a drainfield can help direct water away.
How close to the drainfield can I install a sprinkler system?
Water lines should be at least 10 feet from all components of the septic system. Be sure all sprinkler lines are fitted with approved backflow prevention devices.
…and can I put a retaining wall and drains back there?
If planning to put drains (interceptor, French, curtain) or retaining walls within 30 feet of ANY PART of the septic system, check with your local health department or district. Never cut through drainfields for drains, walls, or irrigation lines. French drains are notorious for carrying pollution from septic systems into water bodies or streets.
I've been in my house for 18 years and never pumped my septic tank. Why should I be concerned?
Over time sludge and scum build up in the septic tank and unless it is removed it will flow into the drainfield, clogging the soil pipes. Once a drainfield is clogged, it must be replaced, which is an expensive repair, costing anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 or more. It is also possible that you could have a leak in the tank. In either case, you risk contaminating ground and surface water resources, which could affect you or your neighbor's wells or nearby streams and other water bodies. And finally, you may eventually have a plumbing backup in your home.
Can you tell if the tank needs pumping without digging it up?
Unless you have risers installed, you will need to dig up the ground above the septic tank to inspect it. Risers give easy access to the septic system without disturbing the soil above the tank. By keeping maintenance records, you can have it pumped on a routine schedule, based on the previous years' rate of solids accumulation.
Who do I call to inspect and/or pump my septic system?
Contact your local health department or health district for a list of certified pumpers in your area—most have lists on their Web sites.
Can I inspect the tank myself?
Yes, you can inspect your septic tank using the "stick test." You can find an online tutorial video produced by Island County Health Department at the "Inspection, Pumping and Repair" section of the Web site.
How often should I have the tank pumped?
How often you need to pump depends on the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and the amount and type of solids. A septic tank should be inspected annually to check for needed repairs and pumped as needed, usually every 3 to 5 years. Some alternative systems that are more complex may need pumping more frequently. If you are unsure if your tank needs pumping, have it inspected and get a recommendation for how many years you can go between pumping. Write this schedule down on a maintenance chart or where you keep your maintenance records and stick to it!
How much will it cost to have it pumped?
Pumping can cost from $250 and up. We recommend contacting at least three pumpers and asking them a series of questions before choosing the best pumper for your needs. Visit the "Hire a Certified Professional" page to find a list of helpful questions to ask.

Teen "Accidentally" Gets 56 Tattoos
She only asked for three, says a Belgian girl, but ended up with 56 stars tattooed on her face because she said she fell asleep during the procedure. Huh?!
For Kimberley Vlaeminck, Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches" could be a cautionary tale. In the story "The Sneetches," they first wanted stars on their bellies ... then they wanted to get them removed. And it cost them plenty.
According to the Daily Mail, 18-year-old Vlaeminck requested only 3 stars to be inked on her face, but something got lost in translation and the tattoo artist put 56 of them on instead. "When he started the tattooing, I didn't want to feel the pain, and so I went to sleep. I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose and I saw what he had already done. I counted 56 stars, it's frightening," Vlaeminck told the Daily Mail.
Tattooist Rouslan Toumaniantz tells another story. "She agreed, but when her father saw it, the trouble started," Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws quoted the man as saying.
Toumaniantz says he gave the girl exactly what she asked for -- not a star more, not a star less. In fact, he says the Belgian teen was awake during the tattooing session, even checking herself out in the mirror from time to time.
Vlaeminck plans to sue for the cost of removing the tattoos, which is estimated at $13,000. Or Sylvester McMonkey McBean might let her use his Star-Off Machine.
This girl has a serious case of buyers remorse. She clearly asked for exactly what she got. There's no way a tattoo artist would randomly place tattoo's just anywhere on her face. They obviously discussed placement prior to starting. Plus, some of the stars are filled in and some aren't. She obviously asked for that. Besides, no tattoo artist worth his ink would continue the tattooing process on someone who falls asleep for more than a few moments. THAT's where the risk of being sued really comes into play.
Total B.S. on the girl's part. Falling asleep during 3 small star tattoos??? Yeah right, whatever! but 56?!? Unless she was completely high on something and that is yet another thing to hide from daddy, no way could she sleep thru that.
I agree with Dels and I was just thinking the same thing how in the world could you fall sleep thru someone tattooing you? I just doin't buy it. I hope the Tattoo shop had cameras it would be very useful to prove that she's lying.
This girl is a LIAR.
The only people she will convince are the biblethumpers who are anti-tattoo to begin with.
Anyone who has had a tattoo or been witness to one will KNOW that people don't just "go to sleep" when they're getting permanent artwork done, nor do tattooists (who are putting their PERMANENT REPUATION on the line - and on your body!) place art on people on a whim.
I feel sorry for this guy for getting this crap but against him, I even read he's promised to pay for 1/2 the removal, though he SHOULDN'T.
He's getting bad press and hate for nothing.
Tattoos are still looked down on by a large part of society and she's not doing anything to help what truly is a reputable career and respected art form.
I've never met a professional tattooist who's charged less than $100/hr.
He wouldn't give that up.
It's not easy to become a tattooist.
This girl is a little lying scammer.
If i was her parents I would teach her to take the responsibility of her stupidass decisions herself and not blame them on others.
This makes me sick to my stomach!
What a life-ruining, self-centered little tramp!!!!
I love getting tattoos and I can understand how one could fall asleep during the procedure. I do, however, think she's completely lying about only wanting 3 tattoos. Three stars might take, at most, 30 minutes, but probably more like 15. there is no way she fell asleep with the needles going across her face in just a few minutes unless she was drunk or stoned.
Is this picture for real? On Fox news they show the stars on the other side of her face?
That girl is so full of BS!! falling asleep during a face tattoo… ummmm right.. she got what she wanted.
anonymous - this is real. the video showed the other side because she was looking in a mirror at the beginning. after, she was talking and the stars were on the same side as in this picture.
I have fallen asleep during a tattoo session and no I wasnt on any drugs. However, it was because it was in a place that wasnt painful. The ones I have that were…there is no way I could have fallen asleep and I dont suspect that getting one on your face feels like having a facial. She is definitely regretting what she has done and its pretty sad to blame it on someone else who makes a living that way. Just own up to the fact that you feel you made a mistake. Shes pretty dumb.
Don't tatoo artists usually sketch on what they will be permanently doing PRIOR to starting? That is how it was with my three…and they are all tiny like hers (not on my face though!!). Maybe they do it differently in Belgium but since it is an art, why would an artist put their reputation on the line by not doing what their client requested. I guess when daddy threatened to cut her off, her story changed quickly…it is always someone elses fault.
BS! And this "teen" is a legal adult! NO WAY HELL she fell asleep during the "inking" (the closer you get to the bone, the MORE IT HURTS) I just had one done last night, and I was wide awake during the whole damn thing.
This twit is just regretting it.
yea this girl is for sure lame…how do you fall asleep when someones TATTOOING YOUR FACE. get a life!!! for real…
we all know shes lying …even if ur drunk or high ur still goin 2 feel the pain ..i was stoned when i got my last tat ..it still hurt bad and i know i couldnt fall asleep while gettin it ..so she needs a new story
Now all she needs is a carreer in porn..
Okay, I can see falling asleep while being tattooed in regular places, I've done it myself enough times (I've got around 250+ hours of ink on me) but there is NO way you'd sleep through facial tattoos. I haven't gotten my face tattooed, however, quite a few of my friends and kin have, and that is DEFINITELY a wake up and notice area. That girl is skinny lookin too, so there's not any real insulation factor to make it easier on her. Straight up… tattoo artist is getting a bad rep, but here's the other side of it:
My ink is done by quality artists, and they one and all refuse to tattoo anybody on the hands, feet, or above the collar line unless they already have ink in those areas. Smart tattoists are not going to tattoo bippy tard girl's faces. So yeah, the broad has buyers remorse, no arguement, and she's certainly trashing somebody else for her own stupidity. But she's not the only dumb one here. That artist is learning a valuable lesson… don't trust that your clients have the sense to know what they really can hang with. That, quite possibly, is the real reason the guy is forking over half the clean up costs. Stupidity SHOULD be painful.
I have a few tatts and I couldn't fall alseep. Espceially if you have one in your face. I would want to stay awake to make sure they did a god job. Your face is what people see first so you would want to make sure it was presentable. I think that she asked for that and when dad saw she changed her story. On a note when I got my tatts they would ask me for my payemnt first before they started. It gives the tatt artist a bad name she shoudl be paying him for all the business he will loose.
She has now admitted that she lied. She wasn't asleep, she did ask for all those stars, she did know what was happening, and she loved it at first, but then when her father saw it he got angry with her, and she made up this story about falling asleep.
I'm sure people are very surprised to find out she was lying. After all, her story was just so credible and everything. Shocking, eh?
I was in Venice Beach, CA a few years ago, and there was this young girl, maybe 13, possibly 15, getting the name of her boyfriend, Jeremiah, or something long, tatooed across her chest, in an arc, with the largest letters possible.
I am sure she was way under legal age. I just felt so bad for her, because relationships at that age come and go in a matter of days.
It was afternoon, and she was sober.
The booth she was in had only four foot walls, so I could talk to her. She said it was the name of her boyfriend.
I didn't say anything against it, as the outline was already two thirds done, and half the letters were fully filled in.
I guess people don't think that they might not want something so permanent later. Especially teens.

House Tour: Striping My Wall
New York
I have been engaged in an epic journey with my wall, 130 square feet worth of wall to be exact.
My only materials are blue painter's tape and a box cutter. With said box cutter, I create centimeter thin strips of tape, peel the tape and put it on the wall. These photos reveal my near completion of the striping phase.
Following the striping phase will be the painting-the-wall-green phase. Following the painting phase will be the pulling-the-tape-off-the-wall phase.
Do you have an idea for a house tour? Let me know! email@example.com
Some people are impressed and other people worry about me when they see or hear about my project. I, however, find it therapeutic. I look forward to the final version, but the good thing is that I don't mind the current state at all. The blue is a pleasant sort of interim phase and the green will be permanent and uplifting.
Yes, it's all finished now, and everyday I see those stripes, I smile, and I recognize the infathomable inner strength that possessed me for a few months last year.
And if you need more, here is a video from the Weekend Therapy archives....
In what is sure to become a classic, Jill Slater has sent in this week's video to tutor us all in the fine points of imperfectly but humanely striping your own walls (see before pics here). Dr. Clark ov Saturn, broadcasts this week from somewhere mountainous and woodsy (NORAD?) and doesn't get dizzy. Enjoy!

I think this is great. There's something nice about the shade of blue chosen for painter's tape. As a matter of fact, there is an installation artist named Chris Hiebert that creates work by doing just that: cutting blue painter's tape and placing it on a white wall.
Jill, despite the fact that I work with you, seeing these pictures convinces me that you really may be totally nuts. Where do you get the patience to cut and stick on all that tape? And now you're going to paint the whole thing green before you peel away the paint!! Boy, am I glad that my walls scarcely go over my head.
Two words: Wall. Paper. :)
Curtis may have met his wall-taping soulmate!
This is what I love about this site - when people post insane projects like this and let us into their worlds that they think are quite normal. You can never imagine when you pass someone on the street that they may going home to boxcut painters' tape and painstakingly tape it to giant walls.
I like how it looks with the tape. It's creating its own pattern in the pix. How long is this taking? Can't wait to see the final outcome.
Jill, have you done this before, or seen it done?
If you want the hell scared out of you, maybe I should put the progress shots of the tiny little vintage wallpaper pattern that I adapteda and copied in my kitchen. Much of it teeny, tiny stripelets. Oy.
I'm a little confused, though, did you, then, paint over the tape and remove it? Or just use the tape as the stripes?
Great post Pixie. Will make me look differently now at the people I pass on the steet.
wow, this is fantastic!
and I for one would love to see Curtis' progress pictures
I love it. I think it would be so neat to put in a few circles. They could be solid colors...mmmm-what is the adjective to go with the wall?
Curtis, yes, progress shots. I see a future AT contest brewing here.
Well, OK, you've twisted my arm. Guido & Pixie, you are both freakishly strong! My little flickr thing here will show you the pattern in the kitchen, but I haven't been able to face putting up progress shots yet.
Let's just put it this way -- it was kind of like doing off-set printing of actual walllpaper, except doing it AFTER installing the paper. In other words, I did one color at a time, and usually one motif-let at a time, etc.
Only because my physical address is not on here do I not fear that one of you will call the couturiers to fit me with those lovely white coats with the arms in the back.
jill, in what burrough did you find a loft like that?
I hope the paint's adhesion to the wall is greater than the tensile strength of the paint it self, otherwise much of the paint could come off when you pull off the tape.
Sorry, I'm an engineer, we're trained to seek out failure.
Jill: Awesome. I really want to see the finished result.
Curtis: AMAZING.
Curtis--I can't believe you've done all that. Has AT every featured your work? I think it should.
xxx- Thanxxx.
Pixie- Thanx, and I entered that bathroom in the "My Bathroom Rocks" contest, but I couldn't find it on here the other day when I was looking for it. Am happy as a clam (AND nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs) to be currently entered in the current contest.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and or confirmation of my OCD tendencies. I live in Manhattan in response to the borough question. As for the next steps. I have to finish the taping and then I am going to paint the entire wall green. I will peel the blue tape off at that point and hopefully be left with green where the white is currently and white where the blue is currently. While some have expressed concern about the paint strength, others have worried about whether the tape will come off that easily after being up longer than the recommended 30 days (as written on the roll). We shall see.
I like your moxy although I worry about your state of mind if the tape removal also removes the green paint. If that proves to be the case, I'd leave the tape up. You'll still have a gorgeously dimensional green wall.
Jill, perhaps you are going to peel that blue off pretty soon after you apply the paint? I think you'll be fine. I'm totally jazzed to see it.
the kitchen made me lose my breath
and the description of offset printing wallpaper once it's on the wall . . . you funny! Fan fan fan FANTASTIC
Jill, no wonder my mother worried about you when she saw the beginning of Phase One. Now it is even more clear to me why you thought nothing of sawing up the back of my multi-purpose closet - by contrast, it is nothing.
I personally love the notion that the person next to me in a grocery checkout line may go home and spend hours of private glee sticking tape strips to their walls. Your alpha waves must be awesome. What music do you listen to while you do it, Steve Reich?
Pollyanna thought for the day: if some of the green paint comes off with the tape, it might even be more interesting than you expected.
For goodness sake, hurry up and finish it and send us a picture of the results!
Is the moire effect seen in the pictures actual, or just a result of the photography? I hope the former!
Just paint some windows on it and you will have a wall mural!.Why don't you get down off your ladder, get an easel and start oil paintings!
Check out the UK 2005 Turner Prize finalists - one of them is an installation artist who's work is very similar - maybe we should be viewing her work in an art gallery instead of at home!
PS I'm the PR for Europe by Net...
I am trying to track down Alison Johnson from Gouverneur, NY. if this is her, please e-mail me at email@example.com
so were is the end result???
For anyone else who happens by, do a search using the words Jill's Stage. Select thumbnails and look for an apple green wall. Thta is the end result.
I personally think it would have been less trouble to draw chalk lines on the wall and hand paint green stripes following the lines.
I was interested to see how it turned out because I was considering it for my bedroom. Too fiddly for the result IMHO
Jill, you're the bomb!
I am amazed at this. I love the result. Was it meditative to do this? It must have been such a rush to start peeling after all that time taping.
Be careful, or others will pay you to do this and then you'll be putting up teeny, squiggly tape forever.
Jill, I lurve the wall...and you. The finished product is gorgeous but the process was even more gorgeous: inspiring through and through.
Jill - when you came to take pictures for my house tour you told me about a color website that suggests colors for different light exposures...can you give me the web address for that? I also think it should be featured on the site, since many would be interested. Surprise, surprise...I am thinking of painting various rooms again ;-).
the stripes are gorgeous! and curtis, I love the stencils. Really, I think investing the time into the paint is a whole lot easier than wallpaper--especially when you consider how damn long it takes to strip wallpaper when you get tired of it.
I stenciled the top half of my dining room to look like damask wallpaper, and I don't regret a minute of my own ocd obssessions and execution.
this is cool. great job
I saw an episode of Nancy Travis' show where they used a squeegee and notched it. They painted the wall and then used the squeegee to make stripes, it looked awesome. They actually went a step further by also doing vertical stripes as well

Considering the price you get a lot of bike for your money. This 'junior cruiser' doesn't feel like a lesser bike; it's not underpowered, doesn't feel budget, is cool and still has big bike appeal. So good and such value for money I'd question why you'd want anything bigger unless you're a dedicated big custom fan.

The Triumph Adventurer, a cruiser style version of the Thunderbird, adds dollop of crass to already glittery, faux concoction. It's an OK motorcycle, thanks mostly to the stupendous Triumph triple engine, but the Triumph Adventurer is about as cool and stylish as purple velvet loon pants. Oh, did someone say they're back in?

Originally more sportster than tourer, Hinckley Triumph's first bike slowly evolved into a fully-fledged tourer with a slightly sporty personality. The main change to the Triumph Trophy 1200 came in 1995 with a much-improved fairing and bodywork, as well as colour matched hard luggage fitted as standard. The Triumph Trophy 1200 is a proper, big (and tall) old school tourer ...

The Triumph Legend TT is a slightly more basic, cheaper version of the Triumph Thunderbird which rides fine – slightly better even, truth be told – but only looks good to those who wear sunglasses indoors. Which, in our book, defeats half the point. Unless you love the Triumph Legend TT's black engine etc, we recommend you go for a ...

The Triumph Rocket III is the biggest, most bad-ass motorcycle money can buy. The specs are awesome a 2.3-litre engine producing almost 150ft lb of torque, pistons the same size as those found in a Dodge Viper supercar and what was at one time the biggest back tyre on a production bike… The Triumph Rocket III is simply an incredible experience and ...

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis had arthroscopic left knee surgery and should be ready at the start of spring training in February.
The team said Monday that Ellis had the 30-minute cleanup procedure last Friday at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles, the same day and place where slugger Matt Kemp had left shoulder surgery.
Ellis sustained tears to the medial and lateral meniscus, the team said. He will start physical therapy next week and is expected to return to his normal off-season workouts in six weeks.
Ellis finished his first full season in the major leagues with a .270 average, 13 home runs and 52 RBIs.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Two Knoxville teenagers were arrested early Monday morning after the vehicle they attempted to carjack stalled out.
Police say the victim was stopped at a red light on Davida Lane at Merchants drive around 1:30 a.m. when the suspects walked to his car and asked for a cigarette.
The victim says one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and ordered him out of the car.
Both suspects tried to drive off, but the car stalled because they could not drive a stick shift.
The suspects both ran off, but officers were able to catch up with them on Clinton Highway.
Jamel Wilson, 18, and a 15-year-old accomplice were charged with aggravated robbery.

Still, if Apple really wanted this to catch on, they should have made an Android and a Blackberry app/client for launch as well. It really should be cross-platform, and Apple has a history of screwing up the adoption of new standards they develop in exactly this manner.
Apple makes their money from selling hardware.
If they provide a software solution for other platforms, they do not provide incentive for people to get on their platform. (Not to mention, they buy themselves quite a few headaches making sure their software works with other platforms that they have NO control over.)
I would wonder who was running things in Cupertino if they DID provide apps/clients for Android and Blackberry.

Let me speak to you. Look deep in my eyes
when I say there's no need to be disenfranchised.
Don't corner yourself.
Please, don't run away.
'Cause I'm sure that there's
others who'd love for you to stay.
I know that it's hard, but please stand strong.
Because you and I know you did nothing wrong.
You may not think so,
but your family loves you.
Even if sometimes, one of
them treats you like poo.
And if they can't stop it, then just let 'em remain
unhappy, if they want to start actin' that way.
Yet, I know that it hurts
to lose someone close.
Especially if it's 'cause you
were down eachother's throats.
I've been there before, I've lost my best friend.
Because we couldn't stop arguing and fighting toward the end.
So hold on, and I promise
everything will be fine.
All wounds are healed in
a matter of due time.
**With so much negativity floating around, my head started pounding and wouldn't stop until I came up with this.**

Saying Goodbye To Your City
So why move? Well, I've been offered two amazing opportunities, both of which are located in very different cities. How do you know when it's time to leave where you love to live?
The decision to move from a cherished home to a new location comes down to more than just a fiscal decision. To help me decide whether a move was really in my best interest, I went beyond the usual pros and cons list and used a myriad of tech tools: Google Drive, Evernote, Pocket and Unstuck. These tools helped me gather/list information about new potential neighborhoods, alongside address the emotional aspect of possibly moving on. Here's how I've been using each app:
Google Drive: I created a spreadsheet for each important city factor: rent prices, transportation, nearby culture, etc. I broke down each by city, including the one where I currently live. I also created a spreadsheet for each of the two new locations breaking down various aspects of each neighborhood. Google Drive works across my computers and iOS and Android mobile devices, so I was able to bring along and access these spreadsheets while actually touring the cities. I also included links to custom Google Maps I created using data from friends about specific locations to refer to within each spreadsheets.
Evernote: an app perfect for creating scrapbooks dedicated to my potential two new homes, Evernote is what I've been using to collect information given by friends about info related to living in each city. I've tagged categories such as neighborhoods, rent, and culture, for easy reference. Evernote has become my big one stop shop for everything I find offline, alongside the resource where I keep photos I snap of potential rentals.
Pocket: online information about nearly anything, especially cities, is available in overwhelming abundance, but it can be tricky keeping the multitude of relevant info together. I use Pocket as a content aggregator; it's private, easily searchable, and accessible offline. While online, I use the bookmarklet to add any relevant info I want to save and refer to later, whether it's an apartment listing or crime stats. By using tags it's easy to find what I'm looking for later by specific city. The beauty is Pocket has apps for every device that I need and is accessible offline so that I can peruse everything even when underground on the subway.
Unstuck: This iPad app was supposedly designed for solving the dilemma I face today: to help people through a tough decision, professionally and personally. While I did find value in going through each of the questions and answering honestly about my feelings, I did not find their suggested tools to be all that helpful. The app definitely has value, but I wouldn't say it's anywhere near a replacement for professional help.
Have I reached a place yet where I am happy to consider leaving behind my current address? No, but I am able to look at it with a bit more clarity using the resources listed above (and a small army of post-it notes).
What helped you make the decision to relocate?

I'm so glad for this post...these tools are going to come in handy! When I first moved from my home town of Montreal to Columbus, Oh, the decision I needed to make was "to move or not to move". Although I experienced a little bit of culture shock going from a busy & crowded, bilingual island to a sleepy, care-free city, I wouldn't have changed my decision if I had that choice. I met amazing people including my husband and made wonderful memories. So now that I'm faced with another moving decision, the question is more where should I go, more so than if I should go!
Unlike you, I'm NOT happy where I am. The only good thing about it is that I've been here to help my mom through her decline, and I'll be here for her final days.
There are a number of areas I'm looking at for when I'm ready to move, and I need to sit down and make a list of what neighborhood features are important to me - walking to some stores, farmer's markets, library, and a neighborhood cafe/hang-out are a few. Home/rental prices will be a driving factor, as well.
Thanks for your review of the above tools - I'll check those out and get started with my lists.
Could be worse modnik... could've said "brought to you by...."
I just made the move from a city I love, away from family to a much bigger, more bustling city. I had to move for the career opportunities and $$ earning potential that just don't exist in my hometown. What helped me was intense research to find a neighbourhood in my new city that would simulate what I like about my old city. The commute to my job was huge: I opted to pick a walk/seabus/walk route instead of a long walk or public bus. I opted for a quieter street, but close to many amenities (pharmacy, grocery store, etc.). Google Maps helped a lot - especially the "search nearby" feature which does not appear to exist on their app - just online. You can pick a potential apartment and then type in "sushi" in "search nearby" or "yoga" or whatever is important to you....
Thanks, guidepooch... I'll have to try the "search nearby" it's a great tip! It's so difficult leaving behind a city that I love with a lifestyle that I love. Been spending many sleepless teary nights lately. A city that's bustling and thriving and dense and awesome, for one that's smaller and much quieter...one of the worries is definitely will I be able to walk to everything I need or get there with a minimum of fuss without a car, so that feature will help!
I have moved from NY-LA, LA-NY, NY-SF, SF-NY.... The last move was the hardest things just didn't come together that great, except for the drive cross country, which I loved :) The other 3 times I rented apartments sight unseen and it went really well. I did a lot of research on YELP, Craigslist, other forums.. LOL, I am not too happy being back in NY, so there may be another move! All the best with your RELO!
I'm not sure I understand the reason for the complaints.
When I first started following AT, I believe it was Maxwell's intention to help people make their home more comfortable, efficient and stylish. It's progressed far beyond that with the addition of the Kitchn and Tech pages, and now helps us eat better and understand the gadgets we can't seem to live without.
There have been product reviews for years - this is just one more. Helps me to decide whether an app is worth looking into. Personally, I'd like to know if the author tested and rejected any, and why.

2011 Guide Analysis: "A year after "Thelma and Louise" came "The Living End", an independent film which had a similar premise but made the protagonists two gay HIV+ men. It was raw, intense and signalled the arrival of a new talent in the form of filmmaker Gregg Araki. In the subsequent two decades, he's delivered several trippy films involving young, good-looking omnisexual people having lots of graphic sex and dealing with some wacky cobbled together plot shenanigans.
The tone has ranged the light-hearted "Splendor" and "Nowhere" to the darker "Mysterious Skin" and "The Doom Generation". From a nude Joseph Gordon-Levitt getting raped in the former to Jonathan Schaech licking his own semen off his hand in the latter, Araki pushes the boundaries in a way that often stops his films from finding mainstream appeal.
Yet it also makes him one of the few American filmmakers still working who is at least refreshingly frank about sexuality on screen and has no issue taking it places that'll make many uncomfortable. If Araki had made "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World", Scott wouldn't have fought each evil ex-boyfriend - he would have had to fuck each one of them into submission.
Now comes his tenth film which screened at Cannes last year and contains many of his usual traits including "bi-curious escapades, conspiracy theories, drug trips, mysterious cults, men in animalmasks, witches, telekinetic powers and post apocalyptic visions" according to one review. It's an utterly bonkers mish-mash of the excessive and the surreal from his 'Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy', while skipping the underlying nihilism of those earlier works in favour of the more upbeat tone he used in "Splendor" and "Smiley Face".
The cast look fun, especially Juno Temple as a highly-charged sexual dynamo and Chris Zylka as Thor, the Adonis of a roommate torturing the male lead with his constant nudity and innocent gay flirting. Even the awesome James Duval shows up for a small role as a wise hippie stoner nicknamed 'The Messiah'. It is a low budget B-movie, but the sheer energy and craziness make this one to watch out for."

Quick to put together with a great flavor combination. Used edemame instead of snow peas. Topped with siracha hot sauce for spice!
Shrimp and Shiitake Rice Bowl

gchang55 Posted: 02/21/13
so good! wouldn't change a thing!
MarkSz Posted: 03/03/13
I only give this three stars because it was a very good solid and easy to make recipe. My wife did not like the Shitake mushrooms because of there rubbery texture so will probably just use Crimini (Baby Brown, Baby Bellas) next time. Will make this again
Bugire Posted: 03/04/13
Very good and very easy to make!

This is delicious and easy! I used brown mushrooms instead and added some hot pepper flakes for some extra spice. Picky eater husband ate his whole serving and said it was yummy.

This bowl is easy to prepare, flavorful and quite pleasing to the eye. Don't bypass this one if you think it's just for a kid's palate. It's great for a nice light and tasty weeknight meal.

My husband gobbled this up and went back for seconds. I loved all of the fresh veggies, although they took some time to prep. I followed the recipe except that I used precooked shrimp, so I skipped the last half of step 2 and added the shrimp to the pan with the cooked egg at the end of step 3. My husband's only complaint about the dish was that the shrimp had no flavor, but maybe it was because they were precooked. I thought the shrimp flavor was fine.

We encourage people to form teams with others on the day of the event, this is a great way to meet other local developers! If you don't have a team we can help you find some teammates, or you can work solo.
The goal of the hackathon is to do something new with existing data, this could include social data, government data or scraped data (within fair use). Be creative and think outside the box.
Meet new people who like to hack on big data sets, learn new techniques for scraping, cleaning, and mashing data & new data sets you might never have heard of!
