Before my grandfather went to work for the Warner brothers as their accountant (and later Exec. VP Treasurer), he played nickelodeon piano for silent films in New York. He played only for a short period of time but really well, and he couldn't read a note of music. Most of the silent movie piano players in the city would share and swap themes, learn from each other, steal from each other, etc.Interesting stuff.
That's why I'm guessing it was passed around during those early formative days, just like a folk song was passed around. A note was changed here, a melody line there, and eventually it crept into the public conscience as a "known ditty." Yet, nobody knows exactly where it came from or who wrote it.

How To Make Queen Bed More Sofa-Like?
Good Questions
Q: Due to a toddler who has developed a taste for late-night adventures, my husband and I moved our bed from the top floor to the first floor, where his bedroom is located. The only place to put our queen bed is in the front room, so we opted to toss our old couch and make the bed into a couch-slash-bed. Trouble is, we're stumped on how to do that. Buy two headboards and attach them to the ends? Pile it with cushions? What do we cover it with? Basically, we're trying to create something that reads "couch" well enough that we won't be embarrassed to have friends sit on it! Help?

I would have just put the toddler bed in my room.
I would not be comfortable sitting on my bed with my husbands friends or having my friends sitting on my bed with my husband. thats kinda weird
Yeah, I would have waited this one out. Toddlers change their minds quite often and the friends on my bed thing creeps me out.
Ditto. Roll up your sleeves and move the bed back where it belongs.
Get a baby gate for the toddler's door. Don't become those parents who end up with an 8-year-old in your bed at a certain point every night!
Co-sleep, or put the toddler bed in your room.
Based on the size of a queen mattress, nothing is going to make it read "couch". Not any amount of pillows. Put your bed back in the bedroom. If you insist on sleeping in your living room, then either use an airbed which you can deflate when guests come over, or buy an inexpensive sofa sleeper. Don't expect real mattress-like comfort though. Hopefully you are only going to use this for a few months, right?
Day beds, which are twin sized are the most uncomfortable things to sit on. A queen sized bed with no back and your legs stretched out in front would be even worse. Any guests would be scanning the room for absolutely any other place to sit. I agree with all previous posts. Beds in bedrooms. Sofa's in living rooms.
When our kids were toddlers it did feel unsafe to have them on the bottom floor alone. We lived in a small cape with two small bedrooms downstairs and a cramped upstairs area that we could barely stand up in. We put our son's twin bed and daughter's crib in the small room and used the upstairs as a playroom. My husband and I squeezed our bed into the larger room next door. It wasn't perfect, but I know I slept better.
It sounds like you just have one room on each floor. How large is your room? Could you make him a sleeping nook with a room divider? I've also seen parents use large, walk-in closets for cribs and toddler beds. His current bedroom could then become a playroom.
Agreed. I have three boys and I put doorknob covers on their doors at night so they couldn't get out. If the worry is that you can't hear your toddler, then, I'd suggest a baby monitor.
I've been to a house where the bed doubles as a couch and it was really, really awkward sitting on it with them to watch a movie. My husband and I left early because it was so uncomfortable.
Toss your old couch and get a sofa bed instead. You can leave your bed where it is. Also, yes I have to side with the other ppl who feel that being an adult entitles you to certain rights like being able to sleep in your own room, however, if you feel sleeping in the living room now and then is your only solution, a sofa bed will be a reversible option, won't look weird and give you space for guests.
if you are intent on having the bed in the family room, then you could do something like use two medium-height headboards and then place some sort of foam or sturdy cushion in the middle of the bed length-wise to act as a backrest. this would create something like back-to-back couches, which cuts the room in half but may be a slightly more comfortable seating option than extra pillows thrown on the bed as-is.
Yeah, I have to agree with everyone else & say there's no masking a queen bed.. I don't think it'd be too weird to have a bed in the living room, though, as long as folks didn't have to sit on it. Think of all the people who live in studios & make it work. Maybe you could find something in the "small, cool" archives that would look good in your room.
If you're absolutely set on having the couch downstairs, one idea is to put it in the corner , or against a wall, and get big pillows to pile against the wall like a headboard. Then it can be a loungey-type couch. Kinda exotic. Like this:
You could even make your own headboard type thing like this:
Also, I'd keep a blanket on top of it during the day that you can remove at night. That way you still have clean and relatively fresh bed sheets and bedspread underneath.
As a single mom, my daughter and I lived in a quad-level house and when she started climbing out of her crib, I worried about her roaming the house and I dunno, drinking bleach or something while I was upstairs and unaware. I put the bathroom door-knob on her bedroom door with the lock on the outside. When I went to bed, I locked her in. Most mornings, I woke her up but on the odd morning she woke up first, she would knock on the door and call to me.
When our house was broken into, her room was the only room left intact (I guess the robbers didn't think there was anything of value in there - PUT YOUR VALUABLES IN YOUR BABY'S ROOM). My daughter thought it was because...there was a lock on her door. From that night on, whenever I put her to bed, she'd say, "Lock me in mumma"!
The lock went back on the bathroom when I was confident she'd be safe. It worked well for us.
Switch rooms with your toddler, you on the bottem floor, him on the top, and really work on getting him to stay in his room all night. Take if from a mom who wishes she had put more effort into getting her child to sleep by themselves, in their own room.
No matter what you do, it will still resemble a dorm room. Move.
I wouldn't feel comfy sleeping on a different floor as my toddler, especially locking them into their room. How would I know if they were actually sick or in pain? Sometimes little people have big fears which I would NOT want to ignore. How would I get them out in a fire? Not ok for me.
I second moving you all into the same room, whether upstairs or downstairs: co-bedding, putting the child's mattress on the floor beside yours, creating a sleeping nook in the closet... all great ideas.
They are so little for so little time, and meeting your baby's needs at night does NOT equate to making a little monster.
Most of the world is not so rich as to hope for one sleeping room per person and they end up just fine. Really, in a small house, is two bedrooms for 2.5 people really the best use of space? What about using that other room for a playroom and craft room?
The fact that your bed is now on the same floor as your toddler's does not guarantee that you'll wake up when he goes exploring. For his safety (as well as all the reasons listed above), lock him in at night!
Wow, this seems like a lot of parenting advice being offered in lieu of home design ideas. If you've got the space, I think I like the idea of creating alternate seating for when guests are over. Or it might work if you could get a kilim-type cover for the bed with lots of pillows to make it feel more lounge-like and less bed-like.
You can't make your bed comfortable for guests to hang out on. That's extremely awkward at best, and downright weird at worst.
I've got 6 kids- trust me, this iis a behaviour that can be changed.
1) wake the kid up at 6 am everyday, weekends too.
2) limit the nap to one hour
3) make sure he runs and plays a lot - especially in the afternoon.
4) bath then books and snuggling starting at 8-8:15.
5) lights out at nine.
Keep a very strict schedule similar to this and that child will sleep!
And the door knob covers or switching the knob so the lock is on the outside are great too. No toddler needs a lock on the inside anyway.
There's parenting advice being offered because the solution to the child's sleeping problem is silly. Why waste time trying to figure out how to make a queen bed look like a couch when you could just stick to the couch and figure out a better solution to the sleep problem?
"How would I know if they were actually sick or in pain?"
There's this nifty thing called a baby monitor ....
Perhaps my earliest memory is being thirsty late one night in a house into which we'd just moved. I got out of bed, couldn't find the kitchen, wandered lost in the unfamiliar, dark rooms, too short to find light switches, and finally despaired too much to continue. I stood still, weeping louder and louder. The noise eventually woke the grownups, who gave me water, put me back to bed, and told me to stay there, which I certainly did.
The poisons were shelved high or locked away, and the windows and exterior doors were closed and locked at bed time so we couldn't have gone outdoors. We kids had been taught we'd be punished if we went into our parents' room after bed time, so we didn't knock to go in unless we were more scared of something else. That was the worst incident that happened from none of us four ever being locked in our rooms, yet I was safe throughout it. Never having had kids, this post makes me wonder, what's wrong with leaving a toddler not locked in her room at night?
Ok, parenting advice is what it is, but all kids are different, and people do what works for their own families.
With regards to the people who gave actual design suggestions, though: thanks! I'm not the original poster, but my partner and I are switching to a King bed (instead of a double), and are hoping to install the double in the office as a kind of over-large couch to sprawl on (I like reading in bed while my partner is on his computer, and we like being together) and use as a guest bed when necessary. The links with the "headboards" on 2 sides of the bed and the large pillows may do the trick!
And, seriously people: not everyone has the option of dropping everything/spending everything/moving at the drop of a hat. Sometimes, design is making the best of what you have with what you can muster up.
LorienQ, - agree! This from someone who switched out our queen for a king when we found out we were expecting our second so we could all fit, though.
"but all kids are different, and people do what works for their own families" - Ros
precisely. do what works for yours.
Would a Murphy bed be too weird? I costs a lot more than you'd probably want for a (probably) temporary situation, but you could use it forever. A friend of mine built one so that they could continue using their child's room as a guest room as needed. This one's probably crazy expensive, but you get the idea: http://www.cultmodern.com/interiors/murphy-bed/
I wonder if they really chucked the couch, rather than moving it into their bedroom... was it too crappy to keep around for when these circumstances resolve?
Not that I don't agree they should just put their bed back into their bedroom and get a baby monitor or something.
Wow I think all of you who are judging this poor family are disturbing.
I am a single mom, sharing a one bedroom apartment with my daughter. I recently moved myself in my living room and gave my daughter the bedroom, so we (not just her) could have our own spaces.
I was very curious as well to learn new ideas on how to make a queen bed work in a living room. I am disappointed that there is only one person here that tried to give real design advice. I think you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
Kelly - What has worked best for me is my sofa bed. I got it for $125 at a resale shop. It was a total steal. I bought a very nice 4" memory foam mattress topper, only $80 at Big Lots w/ coupon, that took that horrible fold out mattress and turned it into a bed of clouds. And big plus it still folds to into the couch!! If you have a storage ottoman or trunk at end of bed you can put all extra blankets and pillows up and move it in to be a coffee table when your using it as a sofa. Good Luck!!
I don't have an opinion on the toddler space thing but we tried to have our bed in the living space as well and tried our best to make it "blend". We did everything we could to make it blend with no headboard, big sofa pillows, etc. But eventually all the people sitting on the side of the mattress made it lumpy and lopsided, not to mention dirty.
Jesus. Judgy McJudgersons. Okay, so if you back away from Unsolicited Parenting 101, this is a REALLY valid question if someone lives, say, in a STUDIO APARTMENT.
You can indeed find Queen daybeds, but they tend to be (largely) custom, although if you are a bit handy, you can probably get two headboards to work on a frame. The only problem there is most headboards aren't finished on both sides.
Another route might be to run a long headboard along the length of the bed on the wall where it is anchored. But the comment about depth and comfort of seating WAS right... a queen daybed will be deep... so that's where bolsters come into play... you can Google "Hollywood bed" t see the kind of bolsters used for making a twin into a daybed.
The final step in making you bed more sofa is the bedding... tailored, fitted, and heavy weight (like upholstery weight) covers will help. If you go with an upholstered frame and ends for the bed (and can afford something custom) have them also make the covers and pillows... doing everything in the same fabric will make it totally more sofa than bed. Also, during the day, find some other place for your sleeping pillows. Those will blow your cover!! :)
Good luck!
I think you should do what makes you most comfortable with your toddler, don't worry what other families do. Everyone and every situation is differrent.
If I have a queen size bed in the living room, I will buy a rather heavy cover or over sized blanket to go over the whole bed to put over the bed every morning, so my bed will stay clean when I go to sleep. Then put tons of pillows for sofa use.Personally, I will choose white cover so I can easily tell when it;s need to be washed. (but then, I am a minimalist anyway, so you may prefer different color) That's about all you can do.... and that;s ok. Toddler will soon grow and thisis only temporary. I have a 3years old and going through similer problems, my house is not what it used to be.
I'll throw my two cents in only because I want to think this is just a temporary solution.
To me, the seat depth (seat back to front edge) is the biggest visual clue between couch and "hey, isn't this a bed?" The latter would make me think the owners have some weird swinger's fantasy, and I would definitely not stick around even if they had really good pepperjack cheese.
So, I'd build a box that covers one side of the bed. The vertical support is the new backrest, and underneath you can store sleeping pillows and comforter. You'll have to make back cushions, and be very on top of rotating your mattress. The box could have a hinge to secure against the wall, but it should be very secure (read: at least three failsafes) to prevent it from crashing down during the night.
So, that's my advice. It will probably run about $100 and up, but it's cheaper than a murphy bed. Or, just go that route now and have a spare bed for guests. Cool stuff at http://www.resourcefurniture.com/
Peace of mind is priceless, but do consider the parenting advice everyone is adding. They sound mean, but they mean well.
When I was a child we visited my aunt's beautiful but tiny apartment in Oslo - to this day my mother still brings up the charming decor which featured Aunt Inger's double bed in the main living area (her young daughter slept in the only bedroom). Her secret was tucking the bed under the large window and dressing it in an antique lace tablecloth that didn't read "bedding." I think the fact that the bed was always neatly made and was covered in an unconventional textile piece was really important - bedding is an intimate thing, so keeping this private was key. I also recall that she had a few options for occasional seating in the room (an antique chaise and a couple of chairs), so guests weren't required to sit on the bed and could choose where they wanted to sit (to avoid awkwardness). Good luck!
Kelly's approach, and also the cosleeping approach, sound fine to me. The suggestions to lock toddlers in their rooms, which I'd never heard of before this post, sound more problematic. Kelly's and the cosleeping approaches certainly sound better than my father's approach of hitting kids early and often to get the desired behaviors without locks. As others already wrote, a large bed can be made to look like sofas back to back. That may be the least embarrassing option. It can be presented as an amusing short-term compromise with the realities of raising a toddler. Besides, Kelly's friends should be sympathetic and encouraging, not make her feel ashamed that her home reveals she's a young parent. That's a tough, important job, more important for now than hosting elegantly. Many young parents just put adult entertaining on hold. Her guests should appreciate being invited to share in her new life stage. If her friends lack empathy because they haven't had kids themselves, then this is a chance for them to grow, too.
While it is very common to disguise single beds (double even) in living rooms in Europe, there is really no way to make a queen sized bed appear as if it belongs in a living room. Many of the solutions involve day beds with wooden sides, which raises another issue not yet mentioned.
While many mattresses have reinforced edges to accommodate people occasionally sitting on the sides, it will really destroy your mattress to try to use it as a sort of sofa.
The great thing about kids is that "this too shall pass". The nighttime ramblings of a toddler will probably pass quickly, especially if he just graduated to a toddler bed or single bed from a crib. All kids do this as they make the adjustment.
Since you are on a different floor, I would go with the suggestion of installing a baby gate for the night, either in his doorway, or if that is not possible, somewhere as close as possible to limit his movements. I would also make sure to always have the baby monitor on. Most kids only need a little reinforcement to teach them to stay in bed; after a month or so, the freedom of being able to wander at night will have worn off.
Good luck!
I would cover the bed with a beautiful throw and lots of cushions of varying textures and sizes. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with people sitting on my bed, or sitting on someone else's bed - they/you are not getting under the covers, after all. As for the night time issues, sleep problems are generally short-lived, so I think you're correct in picking your battles carefully. Our oldest child used to regularly turn up in our bedroom after moving to his own room (he was about 18 months old), and was always rebuffed by my husband. We were more lenient with our other 2, and I still feel bad for him now, even though he has no recollection 20 years on!
A dear friend had a similar set up; her twins had been born premature so they needed constant monitoring. The bedrooms were too choppy for this, but the open floor plan living/dining/den worked better. They had a queen bed under a window and Eurostyled, with lots of pillows, textures and fabrics. It looked more boho than anything else and wasn't weird to sit on. They also had some other seating options like big comfy floor cushions and a couple of chairs. If I recall they had the bed on a low platform so it didn't really read as a bed because it was so well styled. It probably also helped nearly all her friends and relatives were big hearted and compassionate, not like the judgey, haughty commentariat here.
I don't know what the general geography of the house is, but if you want to make the living room into a bedroom, why not make the bedroom into a living room? I personally would prefer the toddler to be happy and content to sleep in his/her own bed all night, but if there are reasons the parents don't want to do that, moving the entertaining space upstairs seems a sensible route to go.
I am really surprised by these posts...there is nothing wrong with co sleeping with a toddler! They are still little and they might be lonely/scared at night. Meeting a child's dependency needs when they are young means that they might just grow up to be independent as adults! I remember being spanked if I tried to visit my parents at night...talk about traumatizing.
Spanking for that used to be the standard approach. It had the desired results in the short run. Although I never had kids myself, I'm sure there are better ways. I don't know whether locking toddlers in their rooms is one of them. That approach reminds me of how adopted children were strapped down into their beds for the night at bed time in "Mommie Dearest."
To the OP:
My sympathies. As someone who's only very recently became a mom, I've discovered that freakin' EVERYBODY has opinions as to what you should do with your child, very often unsolicited.
Do what you need to do to make your living arrangement and family work. There wasn't enough detail in your question to really make a call on why you need the arrangement that you do, so let's ignore that. I would highly suggest a sofa-bed or futon...or a smaller mattress? A queen-size is rather big and would be awkward to use/disguise as a sofa, not to mention that it might get messy if your guests spill something on what is still your sleeping space. I would also recommend having a lot of oversized cushions on the bed too so your guests have something to lean back on if they don't want to scoot backwards all the way to the wall.
How unnecessarily abrasive. Calling anybody and everybody who has perspectives or approaches different from yours "a bunch of nut jobs" blows your own credibility, not theirs. I worked downtown a quarter century, and the homeless people who'd bellow "You're all crazy!" were the most unfortunate of the bunch.
I know it's not exactly your question - Is the room big enough to place a high back sofa in front of it which would hide it and give you some privacy? Over here (UK), some of them are called Queen Anne sofa and they cost under $100 second hand. Reupholstered in modern fabric, they look amazing.
Is that a photo of your room? Would you be able to build some kind of (removable obviously) large box the length of the bed which would act as the back and make it easier to rest on - with some large cushions.
Good luck in finding a solution that works for your family.
Kelly, you and your partner know what's best for your family and your little one. Heed not the naysayers.
If your design aesthetic runs to the bohemian/avant garde/gypsy-inspired end of the spectrum, putting the bed in a corner could be a way to go. With two headboards, one attached at the head and one on the side near the head against the wall, and then get prolific with the pillows. Lots of texture, varied sizes. You could even drape a canopy over the bed to make it feel more nest-like. This wouldn't entirely solve the problem of seating for guests: you'd likely still need to have several chairs or a shallow chaise lounge, but I think it would make the bed make more visual sense in the space.
Miami's Elaine:
I don't think anyone would disagree that it is unfortunate to be homeless. Goodness, what an odd comparison.
Yet you got my point, at least enough to dial down your gratuitous rudeness.
Good Lord, y'all. Judgy, judgy.
To address some stuff brought up:
-We do have doorknob covers on his door. He disassembles them all.
-We did have a baby monitor. We still didn't hear his stealthy escapes.
-We REALLY did not like sleeping in the attic - very hot, no bathroom, and of course far far away from the escape artist.
-We really DO like being on this floor for a number of reasons.
-We do not co-sleep. Where that came from I have no idea.
-I didn't ask for parenting advice. We are not young nor inexperienced, and are doing fine, thanks. I was asking about....
So thanks to all of you (three, I think?) who actually answered that question. We are going the headboard/oversized pillows route, not that I'm having any luck finding said headboard. I'd ask for thoughts on that, but it would probably somehow turn into cloth diapers vs. disposable or something like that, so never mind.
Perhaps you could use two twin beds that could be pushed together at night to make one bed. The two beds could be dressed with trim, tailored covers that would be more like slip covers, than actual bedding. Depending on the configuration of the room, they could be placed parallel to each other on opposite walls, or form an "L" shape in a corner with the walls used as a support for the cushions.
As for parenting "advice," none was asked for and none shall be given. :-)
Have you seen the Antique Asian or some Chinese beds? They have ornate canopies. I've seen people with lofts put it in their living room. It's kind of cool and looks intentional. No one would know you need to sleep in the living room. It's more like you did it for design. Check out Kenneth cobonpues' bed design. Those beds look great anywhere.
I dont think your giving your power to the child at all. Sleeping downstairs to sure that your child isnt wondering the house at night is showing the child you ARE in charge and he/she cant get away with playing in the middle of the night.
As far as making the bed look like a couch, i dont know how to help you on that one. Just wanted to comment about the sleeping arrangements because everyone seems to be hating on your decision. And I disagree with majority of their comments.

I got my Pen Type-A during the Kickstarter campagin. It is a great pen to throw in my bag and not worry about getting banged around. It accepts Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills, which are wonderful pens alone. The combination of the Hi-Tec-C and the metal casing make this pen unbeatable.

This pen is wonderful! I was a bit apprehensive about it at first, but after holding it in my hands, I am in love. I thought that the barrel would be wide and uncomfortable to hold, but it is just right. It did take me a little while to figure out the mechanical pencil (you have to push the clip down, then click it down again to advance the lead), but it writes wonderfully.
I plan on using this pen to grade papers when school starts, and I know it is going to do a fantastic job. I would recommend it to any professional that finds themselves using multiple pens throughout the day.

This binder stashes beautifully in my purse. This makes it very easy to carry my work with me. My only complaint is that it sometimes slides open if I am not careful when transporting it. I have had many of my students comment on how cool it looks, and how wonderful the paper is.

I cannot even begin to say how much I love this paper. I especially love how it is smaller than American loose leaf. This makes carrying my binder in my purse so much easier. The paper is very FP friendly from my experiences, and it handles my gel pens beautifully. I am very glad that I purchased the bundle of 5 and not just 1 pack, because I would have been very disappointed when I run out.

This eraser erases very well, but it leaves a lot of small shavings. I still gave it five stars since I am not one of those super-picky people that cannot stand to blow pencil shavings off of my paper. The eraser itself does a wonderful job, and I cannot complain.

This is such a wonderful pencil! I purchased this one along with a high-grade series, and both are fabulous. I have to say, so far, this one is more comfortable to write with, but it is a bit "mushy." I do not notice any mushiness with the high-grade series.

I am very picky about pencils, after reading reviews on this pencil on JetPens and PenAddict, I decided to try one out. I am very pleased with the pencil. I do not find my writing experience to be "mushy" at all. As far as the hole on the grip goes, I am working on training myself to write with the hole facing up and not turn the pencil as I am prone to do. I cannot wait to use it more, I am thrilled about how consistent my handwriting looks so far.

I purchased these at a local office supply store right after they came out to use in my classroom. They work pretty well considering they are a sticky piece of paper. The only surface that they have had trouble sticking to so far are flexible plastic file folders, and only the corners have turned up so far. Overall, these are a good product for helping with organization, and I would recommend these to anyone.

Voted "Least Likely To Succeed" by her classmates, Kate McVeigh has risen from the depths of "least likely" to the pinnacle of success. The once-fearful and timid school girl who was in classes for "slow learners" from the 5th grade on, gave her life to the Lord in High School, discovered a timeless truth that would set her on a path to achieving the improbable.
At the age of sixteen, after witnessing her mother's amazing conversion and healing, Kate accepted the Lord and immediately everything began to change. From the very beginning of her new walk with God, she sensed the call of God to preach the Gospel and reach people world wide with a life changing message, an impossible task for someone who nearly fainted over giving an oral book report.
However, Kate's tenacity to face her personal
giants paid off as she tapped into the revelation of God's favor,
which would revolutionize her life forever. Today she shares that same
life-transforming message with thousands of people across the world, living
the dream God gave her as a teenager.
In addition to a hefty traveling schedule, she effectively reaches the world on a daily basis through her "Voice of Faith" radio broadcast, airing on dozens of radio stations, internet and satellite broadcasts.
Kate is also an acclaimed author with 9 Books in circulation. The release of her first book, The Blessing of Favor, in 1997 was just the beginning of a flood of titles in which Kate's practical teachings and unique insights have impacted thousands.
Kate knows by experience how God's favor can impact even the most impossible circumstances. By implementing the principles she found in the Word of God, He effectively changed the course of her life. Now the 5"4" Evangelist is making a super-sized impact in the world on a daily basis.
Kate's teaching is motivational as she loves to inspire others to succeed. Kate's positive and often humorous style of speaking, imparts hope and encouragement to all, with thousands making a commitment to Christ in her meetings every year.

God has the power to alter your present circumstances and rewrite your
future. She is living proof that with God all things are possible.

Farewell, Vicki! A year and so much more
Today is the last day of work for Victoria Billings, our intrepid communications and public programs student assistant. Of course, this is the right thing considering she is now a Cal Poly journalism graduate. The world awaits! A world, I hope, in which she can use her fluent French and fluent writing skills. But, even though this day had to come, it is still bittersweet.
We'll miss you, Vicki! Your sense of humor, creative ideas and muscle-y brain power were truly appreciated. Please keep us informed of your latest and greatest conquers in the field. We will be rooting for you all the way.
Pièce de résistance
Vicki has been working on a retrospective of sorts, a year in review of her work and internship. There was a lot to cover! After all, this was truly a Journey Into Libraryland.
So, I'm delighted to introduce Victoria Billing's final video project for Kennedy Library, A Year and So Much More. A story, it turns out, that can best be told in clay.
It was a blast working with you, Vicki! Seriously.
Please leave your good wishes for Vicki in the comments.

I don't know about the rest of these kids, but I will especially miss your sense of humor, enthusiasm, and impressive knowledge of underground hip hop :)
Good luck!August 30, 2013

Performance-based navigation (PBN) flight paths, designed by General Electric Aviation, were validated last week at Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport (ZUJZ) in the Sichuan Province of China.
China Eastern Airlines
The rebirth of the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (Abace) in Shanghai was, by common consent, a resounding success–especially considering the many challenges that organizer NBAA faced in running a modern trade show in China's main business city. The March 27-29 event drew 156 exhibitors in a 43,000-sq-ft space provided by Shanghai Hawker Pacific Business Aviation Service Centre at Hongqiao Airport. The static display was populated by some 27 aircraft and was overlooked by eight exhibitor pavilions occupied by companies too large to exhibit inside the main hangar.
Fast-tracking development of China's fledgling private aviation market is the main goal for the new China Business Jet Shanghai Alliance that Minsheng Financial Leasing Company (MSFL) announced yesterday at Abace. Crucially, the new body is led by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the first official Chinese organization to include 17 major business jet manufacturers.
Fast-tracking development of China's fledgling private aviation market is the main goal for the new China Business Jet Shanghai Alliance announced yesterday by Minsheng Financial Leasing Co. (MSFL).
China Eastern has selected Honeywell to provide a variety of its products and services for its fleet of Boeing 737 NG and Airbus A320 airliners. It will supply wheels and brakes for the 737 NGs to improve performance and reduce operating costs, for both new-build aircraft and as upgrades to the existing fleet. It also will provide 131-9 auxiliary power units for the 50 A320s that China Eastern has on order.
Three of Asia's new airliner programs have looked west for cockpit technology, and, more specifically to U.S. avionics group Rockwell Collins.
Flight training group CAE is big and getting bigger in the growing Asian market, according to Jeff Roberts, group president of civil simulation products, training and services. The Canadian company has 16 training locations in the Asia Pacific region, and 16 of the 30 full-flight simulators sold in the current financial year (which ends next month) will earn their keep in the region–a clear indication that this part of the world has a healthy appetite for training aviation professionals.
Stung by development delays and now intent on shifting its emphasis from long-haul to regional and domestic services, China Eastern Airlines on October 17 announced a decision to cancel orders for 24 Boeing 787s in favor of a new order for 45 Boeing 737NGs.
The first Shanghai International Business Aviation Show (Sibas) garnered mixed reviews from its exhibitors, but generally the perception was that it was a success, despite teething problems, such as no food on site and some issues with shipping. However, these were offset by the quality of attendees who showed up and the fact that organizer World Events Agency managed to pull off the show at all.
The Asian Business Aviation show formed a key facet of March's Asian Aerospace show in Hong Kong. It attracted some 5,300 visitors–including some of China's fast-growing group of billionaires–who had 22 business aircraft to examine.

So I met this guy at a mutual friend's cookout and we really hit it off. He was tall, handsome, and really made me laugh. We spoke on the phone a few times and discussed our relationship statuses. I let him know that I was single and wasn't seeing anyone…he echoed my remarks.
On this one particular evening during my drive home from work, he called me, but I could hear a little tension in his voice as if something was wrong and the conversation went something like this:
Him: So how was your day?
Me: My day was pretty good and yours?
Him: Oh my day was good….So you're not seeing anybody right?
Me: No…we had this discussion already so why are you asking me again?
Him: Oh really? Well guess what?
Me: What?
Him: I saw you today on a date having lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with some old man.
Me: [Insert incessant laughter] Oh really? Well why didn't you speak to me when you saw me at the restaurant?
Him: I didn't want to interrupt your little date. I see you like them old huh?
Me: Mmmm hmmmm….Well let me break it down for you…First of all, I was having lunch with MY FATHER! We work at the same company. Second of all, I'm not your girlfriend. Therefore, you and I are not in a relationship. So, I can go out with anyone I damn well please.
Him: Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Your father? My bad!
Your bad huh? This date is OVER…..before it even began. What a dumb A$$! lol

Marc Levinson, 57, represented the cities of Vallejo and Stockton in bankruptcy proceedings and recently negotiated a $4 million settlement between the city of Hercules and its creditors.
If you see bankruptcy in your future, try to cut expenses now, Levinson says.
"Go to the unions and start making concessions now and then go to creditors and start negotiations," Levinson told WSJ.
Those concessions could stave off future financial problems, like strikes or other costly disagreements.
The Vallejo case, which he calls a "trial by fire," was his first major Chapter 9 proceeding.
But just because Vallejo was successful — it came out of insolvency about three years after filing for bankruptcy — doesn't mean the rest of the country should follow suit.
Bankruptcy is the option "when there are no other choices," according to Levinson. "Bankruptcy is not a good option until it's the only option."
While he says he understands why states don't do more to help flailing towns, Levinson said it "would be incredibly helpful to locals if the state stepped in and helped, but instead there is the opposite."
But if one town gets help, then every town will want help. However, Levinson said there is still a major problem in the relationship between states and towns.
"I believe the core problem is that California as a state is a net taker, rather than a giver, and local governments are hurting because of it," Levinson told WSJ. "And overall, the reality is the state's economic picture is more than likely far worse than most of its cities."

frightened replied to your post: raechul-1991 replied to your post: I'm slow on…
are you learning with al-kitaab?
Heard about it. But right now I'm just doing it on my own.
And I'm not losing interest. I'll let myself remain in this way bit longer - and then might start tackling (tougher part of) grammar seriously.
It's been fun. So it should remain fun :)
frightened replied to your quote: The belief that Jews constitute a religious,…
judaism is passed on by the mother - it's both a religion and, because of low intermarriage rates early on, an ethnicity.
Welp. My concern is -
Thinking from technically-defined side - makes us blind about how weak and vulnerable our minds are on the issue of special lineage/blood :)
It's a common sight that if someone says even have like a quarter of Jewish blood in them (regardless of father/mother side) - and if there are some devout Jewish person next to them
call will come out from that devout person. (While the 'quater Jewish blood' person doesn't have any Jewish cultural or religious experience in their life.)
And will be followed by 'Chosen ones are in crisis in times like this because of Holocaust, because of this inter-marriage and you must make Aliyah blah blah blah'
In my view.
It's been a long, long, repeated disappointment - numerous educated and faithful? (supposedly) people I met - mentions what kind of lineage - blood connection they have - with famous people or old saints or powerful politicians or rich people or nobel prize winners.
It's been really.
How weak our minds are.
Everytime I think about blood/lineage thing - I think about how weak - and unreliable, corruptible - human minds are.
frightened replied to your post: Re: Anti-Semitism
please elaborate on this.
It's like people are made to focus on, keep yanking about ball flying outside of the tennis court -
but not thinking about what kind of game is happening or not happening inside of the tennis court.
Funny. Inn'it.
People are only made to think what's 'Out' - but never focusing on what's really there within the relation.
Though, then the next subtle point is - Jewish people need to maintain their - identity legacy etc. Then do they need to keep themselves isolated, segregated etc - as a kind of survival strategy.
But then we never focus on this.

When the fall season rolls around I am all about the squash. Pumpkin, Kabotcha, Delicata, and Butternut are among my favorites. So for our Thanksgiving/Chanukah meal this year I wanted to create something new using squash (will post more recipes from of our holiday gathering soon).
This Butternut Squash Gratin was something I thought might be a good recipe in my mind, and let me tell you it was. It came out AMAZING! It was such a hit that I was sorry I didn't make more.
I carried this one on the plane on our way to see the big old extended family in New York. I froze and shipped some other foods overnight so that my children can have an amazing allergen free holiday with the family. No chance of food infractions on my watch! I will go into more detail in another post.
To make this dish look all pretty you will need a mandoline or a food processor with the slicing disk for those thin even slices. When I took that first bite of the crispy breadcrumbs combined with the oozy cheesy butternut squash, OMG; this is a keeper. The reviews have come in from the family: consensus shouted yes!
I will surely be making this again, and again. Glad I took good notes during prep time. It takes a little time to assemble, but worth every savory bite. This was the perfect dish to add to our holiday meal. Another perk: full of nutrition, allergen free, and sugar free!
Don't you just love that?
Makes one 9 x 13 baking dish
1/4 cup (approximately) Earth Balance Soy Free Spread
1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, thinly sliced (with a mandoline)
2 medium onions, peeled, thinly sliced halves
1 cup Daiya shredded mozzarella cheese
handful fresh sage, stems removed, torn into pieces by hand
2 slices gluten free bread (I used Food for Life Brown Rice Bread), toasted
2 tablespoons xylitol
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F
Spread some Earth Balance liberally into a 9 x 13 inch oven-proof baking dish. Reserve the rest for layering the gratin.
Cut the peeled butternut squash in half, crosswise, where it just begins to round. Slice that section thinly with a mandoline, or in your food processor. Then cut the seeded section in half, lengthwise, and slice.
Keep the seeded lengthwise slices separate, they will go on the bottom layers. Use all of your round pretty slices for the final top layer.
Combine all the spices, xylitol, and kosher salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Put a thick even layer of the squash bottom slices in the baking dish. Add 2-3 cut teaspoons of Earth Balance across the squash.
Note: I did a two-slice layer of the slices for each layer. I added a few cut up teaspoons of Earth Balance between layers.
Then a thick layer of the sliced onions.
Evenly spread a couple of large pinches of your spice mix across the onions.
Next add about a third of the mozzarella shreds. Now add a few more cut teaspoons of Earth Balance. Then a third of the torn sage leaves.
We are almost there…
Repeat the process for four layers with the round butternut squash slices, then onions last (it will keep your squash moist). Then add the final generous pinch of spice blend to your top layer of onions. Add a few sage leaves and top with your remaining few teaspoons of Earth Balance. Liberally sprinkle all the breadcrumbs across the gratin.
Bake in your preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top looks golden and crispy.
Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
Serve hot or warm. I served it warm and it was perfectly oozing the cheese. Enjoy!

Hi guys, i have been thinking of using openoffice instead of office 2007 as our next upgrade from office 2003,
several reasons:
1) openoffice is free!
2) menus have radically changed in office 2007 that this will cause me no end of nightmares with not so IT savy tutors and students
3) they can download and install openoffice at home
4) and did i mention openoffice is free !
I understand it will mean major headaches which ever version we upgrade to, and i am thinking of running openoffice with our current office 2003 this year just to get people used to it.
so tell me is this just a hopeless pipedream and should i just give in to the microsoft giant
or should i try to change the world 1 tutor at a time

August 20, 2003
Lowndes County -- Thousands of troops are deployed overseas defending our freedom. But not all of them are U.S. citizens. According to the Department of Defense, more than 37,000 members of our military are non-citizens.
Airmen 1st Class Luis Iriazzy is one of those. He loves serving in the United States Air Force. "It's wonderful," said Iriazzy. "I should've joined a lot earlier."
He spends his days working as a mechanic with Moody's Logistics Readiness Squadron. "I fix and maintain the refueling vehicles," said Iriazzy.
But life wasn't always so easy. Nine years ago, he and his family were living in Cuba. "You didn't have any choices and everything was decided for you," said Iriazzy.
So Iriazzy and 18 other Cubans loaded onto a 12 by six foot raft powered by a motorcycle engine, and set sail for Florida. "We were up and then down on about 10 foot high waves."
Their journey turned out to be a 22 hour trip to freedom. "We were all excited and everyone was jumping saying 'We're here!'," said Iriazzy.
Everyone on Iriazzy's raft made it to the states, but others weren't so lucky. "When we were out there we could hear people screaming and calling for help."
Last month, he officially became a U.S. citizen. "Now I can re-enlist, and I'm really excited about traveling."
And even though he's yet to be deployed, he's eager to defend his new country. "It would be the least I can do, to go out and defend the wonderful things we have here," said Iriazzy.
Iriazzy says he wasn't sure if his family would make it through that night on the water, but living in the land of opportunity was worth the long journey.

FRIDAY, Sept. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Fine particles of pollution
that linger in the air can increase the risk of sudden cardiac
arrest, warns a new study.
Researchers compared data about air pollution levels in New York
City and 8,216 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests that occurred in the
city between 2002 and 2006.
They found that a rise of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air
in small-particle air pollution was associated with a 4 to 10
percent increase in the number of out-of-hospital cardiac
Pollution-related cardiac arrests occurred when particulate
levels were high but still below the current EPA safety threshold
of 35 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
This association was much stronger in the summer months, said
the researchers from the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health
The study appears online Sept. 20 in the
American Journal of Epidemiology.
"Small particulate matter is dangerous to health," study author Dr. Robert Silverman, an associate professor of emergency medicine and director of research in the department of emergency medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, said in a health system news release.
"We need to figure out ways to combat air pollution and decrease the number of high-pollution days," he added.
This study adds to the growing number of studies that suggest
air pollution is bad for the heart.
Earlier this year, the American Heart Association issued a
statement noting that evidence is growing that air pollution is a
risk factor in heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death.

Dystonia Disorder
If you or someone you love suffers from a dystonia disorder, it is important to be aware of
its cause, if it is determinable. It is also important to know the symptoms and treatment
options. However, as a sufferer of focal eyelid dystonia, one of the dystonias evidenced
by uncontrolled and involuntary blinking, I would like to share my experience with a natural
whole food that supported my body nutritionally and helped to alleviate my symptoms.
When my symptoms began. I had no idea what was happening to me, especially since I
had always been very healthy and never a patient in a hospital. But here I was with
uncontrolled and involuntary blinking. It took two years for me to be properly diagnosed
with focal eyelid dystonia. I went to a neurologist for two treatments of Botox, six weeks
apart. It was painful and my eyes looked artificial so I stopped treatments. Later I found a
natural whole food that was able to provide nutritional support for my body. Six weeks
after consuming this food, I was near symptom-free and I am still enjoying an improved
quality of life with few spasms.
I can be your personal wellness coach and hopefully help you have a healthier future.
The food has been proven safe and effective from a study at Johns Hopkins that I
prompted years ago.

A dystonia disorder is neurological and affects movement. With this disorder, muscles
contract causing twisting and/or repetitive, involuntary and excessive movements. A
physical trauma, infection, poisoning, or reaction to pharmaceutical drugs, especially
neuroleptics. Treatment is difficult and has been limited to minimizing the symptoms,
since there is no cure.
As for symptoms of a dystonia disorder, they are varied. Many sufferers have continual
pain, cramping and relentless muscle spasms due to involuntary muscle movements.
These spasms can affect different parts of the body including the eyelids, lips, vocal
cords, the lower face the neck.

ACk, the bombs of truth from Rafe and Mike are making me feel very inadequate. I used to coach -- and before that, participate in -- rowing and now I work a desk job at a university and come home to play WoW. The job change has made buying a house possible, but severely effected my health and fitness and it is all my fault.
Guilty flab monster is guilty.
*jots note to take dog for a walk, then cook, not order, dinner.*
@quasar: You're far from alone in that. I played soccer for years as a kid/teen (and was even a FIFA-certified referee for a couple of summers, though I stuck to officiating under-10 games), but I've been a desk jockey for the last fifteen.
We remember how awesome we *used to be* and see how much we've backpedaled, and it can be disheartening... or it can be inspiring and motivating. "Hey, I used to be able to do a five minute mile. I should be able to do a six minute one even though I'm older!"

Bill lowers retirement age of government employees
- Details
- Category: Nation
02 Sep 2013
- Written by Jovee Marie N. dela Cruz
A LAWMAKER on Monday filed a bill lowering the mandatory retirement age for government employees to 55 from 65.
House Bill 242, filed by Liberal Party Rep. Maria Carmen Zamora of Compostela Valley, is seeking to amend sections 13(b) and 13-A of Republic Act 8291, or the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) Act of 1997.
Under the current law, only those GSIS members who have rendered at least 15 years of service are covered and entitled to retirement benefits.
Zamora said if the bill were enacted into law, it will correct the slow manpower turnover in the government because only a few avail themselves of early retirement, saying most of the government employees opt to retire at the age of 65, thus creating a standoff in terms of position movement and the accommodation of new entrants.
"This scenario affects government's productivity since studies show that people reaching the age of 50 tend to suffer from a decline of cognitive and physical abilities," Zamora said.
She added that the inability of the older set of public servants to adapt to the infusion of modern technology and methods also negatively affects on output and efficiency.
"More retirees would mean more job openings for the unemployed. Lowering the compulsory retirement age would also allow retirees to thoroughly enjoy the benefits and assistance extended to them, while giving the Government Service Insurance System the ability to fully prepare and manage the increase in the transaction volume of retirement applications and their processing," Zamora said.

"I just have to gush here because while I haven't visited their office, I have been in love with their smoothies for awhile." in 3 reviews
"I did enjoyed the mango flavour it tastes amazing,really enjoyed it,good staff,we recommend you,thanks" in 2 reviews
I love Innocent smoothies. Everything in the brand, packaging, logos, ads... They are so cute and so funny... Not only on the outside the bottles and cartons are great, but also in the inside you find really delicious smoothies. I haven't tried them all, but I will, eventually. The only bad thing is that they are rather expensive, but you can always wait until there's a special offer in Tesco/Sainsburys/Waitrose (which happens quite often).
The campaigns that the company is sometimes involved in, like The Big Knit, with all those people knitting cute and tiny hats for the bottles, are just awesome. I wish they were available also in Spain, I'm sure they'd be a real success.
Normally, I'm quite a purist and prefer to blend my own smoothies tailoring them to my taste, mood and ingredients. But, there are times when practicality takes precedence The other day, out-and-about, late afternoon and all I'd eaten was a piece of fruit. So, thirsty and a little hungry, at the same time, I searched for a snack.
At the supermarket, an intriguing variant caught my eye. Innocent's breakfast thickie wasn't a guaranteed winner but I gave it a try and was happy I did! Deliciously berried, not-too-sweet; the raspberries and blueberries married perfectly with yogurt and oats in its composition. I've been familiar with Innocent since their inception; I love their fun, no-nonsense, practical, healthy approach, quirky sense-of-humour (and delicious products). Yum!
I previously worked for a well-known promoter who organsing live music events. One day at work in 2001/02 I was told the story by a collegue about these two guys who went to an event, hired a pitch and tried making smoothies with the idea of giving up their well paid jobs to do so as a business start up. Appartently, I had been a customer at a number of the promoter's festivals and events including the one where these guys sold smoothies.
Lol and behold, I was reading a smoothie bottle a couple of years later and the same story was printed on the side. Honest, good fun on the outside and the inside of the bottle. That is what I think when I consider innocent and their wonderful drinks. I have called up on a the 'banana phone' on a couple of occasions as invited to 'just for a chat'. Nice people answerit is like a fruit version of the samiratians I guess.
I have never disliked a single product this company has made. Some are better than others, but the well written packaging would made you smile if the product inside doesn't. I was even told that the style for communicating with young volunteers should be 'like innocent packaging' once and who would disagree when there is writing on the bottom of the bottle saying'dont touch the button!'. So funny!
I have not been to fruit towers, but being a fan of the company and apparently being there when they launched I am pleased to see them branch out into thickies, food, veg and more. All they have to do next is take up my letter some nine months back when I suggusted the use of juicy, vit C packed peppers in a smoothieI am still waiting!
I love Innocent! I just have to gush here because while I haven't visited their office, I have been in love with their smoothies for awhile.
The smoothies are also good for others as they do an annual drive with knitted caps on their smoothies in support of charities helping the elderly.
Just brilliant!
I love everything about this company. Their advertising (funky and fun), their products (delicious and natural tasting), their customer service staff (who talk to you like a friend)....
Despite all of the many options, my favourite is still one of the original and the best, Strawberry & Banana. Now that's a great breakfast !
Best smoothy drinks ever!!! no brands can compete at all!!! no restriction on this, I just love it!!! even though it's a bit expensive.
Very tasty drinks and their adverts are very funny!
Being honest I like Innocent Smoothies a bit too much, but I never though beyond the healthy fresh nectar they produce. No I had the chance to have a good look at their website and honestly they are pretty awesome with everything. Even their blog is quite compelling to read.
Mango flavour is my favourite yummy
I like the best things in life, and Innocent produce the best smoothies on the market, plus, of course, they are funny people... They make me smile. That's what I like! Thanks to Innocent
I did enjoyed the mango flavour it tastes amazing,really enjoyed it,good staff,we recommend you,thanks

Angela Bassett in What's Love Got to Do With It
Regarded as one of the greatest biopics ever made and a film so powerful many people associate the actors who played Ike and Tina Turner with their counterparts, What's Love Got to Do With It was a transformative film about music's most tumultuous relationship. Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne play Tina and Ike, respectively, and earned Oscar nominations for their gritty performances.

there was a report from some guy on here that said his car barks the tires going into second gear - i don't believe him and i never will.
it's almost impossible to get these tires to bark going into second with how their tuned from the factory.
just shifts way to slow.
I'm not the one who originally claimed that, but I've had mine chirp a couple of times.
CHIRP, not "bark". There's a difference I guess.
I've also gotten it nearly sideways (drift style) trying to pass someone around a very slight curve in the road from a 20 mph roll and just flooring it. Moderate temps, no fog/moisture/rain affecting the road.
Believe it or not, no sweat off my back. It happens. These 392's are strong even with the stock tune.
it was someone else who said it.
anyways, i believe spinning at 20mph on a downshift, but i don't believe barking into second while going 52-53mph especially with how slow the auto shifts.

About Michael Biedermann
We love South Haven! It is a place that is very special to our family. We have welcomed and said good bye to members of our family on the beach. Our children are the fifth generation in our family enjoying the beautiful beaches of South Haven.
Michael Biedermann purchased this house in 1998
Why Michael Biedermann chose South Haven
We are parents of four young children. We wanted a beach house to escape from the hustle and bustle and focus on family. Historic Monroe Park is the neighborhood that is directly adjacent to the North Beach. The key to this location is there are no huge hills nor endless staircases to climb up and down when going to and from the beach. Kind of an important thing to remember with small children and grandparents who want to join you down at the waters edge.
What makes this house unique
