Day 10: Make a Shopping List & Budget
Apartment Therapy's Style Cure
Day 10: Wednesday, August 14
Assignment: Make a Shopping List & Set Your Budget
Today is an important day for the rest of your Cure. It's time to sit down and make note of what you need to get the job done, which means that those of you who put some time in on the research assignment yesterday should be able to conquer this step handily. If you still need to research your project or product, no worries, just roll that into today's "homework". From paint to fabric to that perfect lamp shade, you want to get it down on your shopping list and then figure out what your budget bullseye is going to be.
Today's Assignment:
• Write out your shopping list: Sit in the room you are curing to write your list. Look around, take your time and envision the new colors, textures, objects and items that you want to add to the space - "seeing" what is going to be there in this way will help you to avoid forgetting key items. Big or small, if you think you are going to need anything for your room Cure, get it on this list. Things can be super specific (such as West Elm Parsons Wall Mirror) or general (large potted plant for desk) but include them, regardless. Think about the projects, (paint (how much?), painting supplies, (maybe even a painter!), fabric, thread, frames) as well as the products (side table, task lamp, oversized vase, new towels). Refer to yesterdays research to make sure you're adding all the necessary little odds and ends to your list, especially for projects you are tackling for the first time. You can always cross things off later if your plans change, but for now, aim for making it super-complete.
PDF to see the full upcoming schedule (and print it out if having a hard copy is helpful to you)
- Estimate the cost of the items on your list and set your budget: Start with the things you are confident that you know the general price for and then search online for the rest. Remember to factor in tax and shipping, if applicable, and then add 5% to the grand total to cover the last minute incidentals that invariably pop up. While the individual item prices may just be estimates (and some will have to be very rough in certain cases, such as secondhand or thrift shopping plans) its still important to get a picture of what you think your plans will cost and then see if it matches what you feel comfortable spending on the room at this time. Adjust the list (and scope of plans and expectations!) as necessary.

Ooh, this is the fun part.
For my bench restoration project:
Howard Restor-a-Finish and Feed-n-Wax: $17
Staple gun: $15
Fabric for bench seat: $25
For my products:
IKEA Strandmon chair: $279 (plus tax & delivery)
Media console/credenza: $900 (??)
New cover for loveseat (if we come in under budget for the credenza): $140
A 18"x24" frame, plus any other gotta-have-it items I come across: $100
Budget??? Shoot, I may not be able to get away with Farrow and Ball paint AND stick to any sort of reasonable budget!
Here we go, many of these things have already been purchased.
Wall Paint: $60
Runner: $200
Ikea Shelf: $25
Craigslist Lamp: $15
Ikea Planter: $8
Plant: $20
Art and Craft Supplies (spray paint, etc.): $60
Total Budget: $388
I've gone ahead a little as I have been pretty sure of what I'll be doing over the last week... I got my curtains and new curtain rod yesterday!
Curtains - $50
Curtain Rod - 30
Paint & Roller cover - $60
Jewelry hanging solution - $20
Hooks for Clothes - $30
Headboard - $100
Wall Sconces - $80
Total Budget: $370
My overall budget for my kitchen/dining area spruce up is currently:
New faux-wood blinds: $60
Not brass ceiling fan: $65
Cabinet Hardware: $85
Faux sheepskins for chairs: $45
Fabrikor Ikea cabinet: $190
5x8 rug: $300
Table Runner: $16
Total: $761
I figure I'll be able to accomplish the first 4 items on the list this month, and probably not the others unless I can find a better deal on a rug at homegoods that I love.
Later on, curtains and frames for artwork.
i'm moving from a 600 sq ft 1-bed to a 300 sq ft studio. i'm finally shedding all my ikea college furniture, which means i need to replace pretty much everything in the apartment.
wall paint: landlords already did it! (grey with one sage green wall)
matching teak dresser and cabinet: $150 (for the pair!)
small kitchen table: $25
two wood chairs: $25
bookcase/storage: $50. although i have my eye on a steel barrister bookcase for $175.
coffee table: $25
couch: $500
total budget: $775, unless i can score the barrister bookcase, and then $900.
still less than it would've cost to move it across the state.
My shopping list looks very similar to my mood board, just with less expensive alternatives. My budget is close to null, I'm hoping to spend less than $50 but we'll see....
Turning It Home
Strangelight, I absolutely love your inspiration board !! Dark, earthy tones, lots of natural wood, organic forms, and a drop of teal... Love, love, love ! Could you show us the result ?
I already have everything I need for the style cure in my foyer:
Grey paint for the walls, $4 (yes, really. I bought them from the mistint rack)
Pink paint for the dresser, $6 (ditto)
1930s dresser with original brass hardware, painted an ugly brown then I painted it a too light pink a few months ago: $30 (thrift stores rule!)
Framed pictures and a bowl of yarn for the top of the dresser, already owned. (I'm a knitter, so yarn is necessary ;) )
All that's left is for a pink framed print with white mat and black frame... keep calm and love owls. And I do! That's $15. Frame for it is free, from parents who had the perfect thing I needed.
$55. Not bad for a good sized foyer. I do need a new lamp for the wall lamp, but still hunting for the right one on clearance, so that might not happen this month. Doesn't matter, as long as the rest is done!

absolutely! i don't take possession of my new place until the last week of august, so any "after" photos might come after the style cure is over. i'll leave the board up, though!
I guess when that math teacher insisted I would need math in real life she was right! Percentages and everything. All tallied, my budget for my living room is $228...though someone should probably double check my math.
Here is the breakdown I'm excited to see how these numbers transform themselves into my vision for this room...
Ok, so I went a little overboard on my shopping list. It is totaling over $2k, but HEAR ME OUT! Thinking of selling almost everything we have in the current living room, plus some random antique furniture I've been hoarding in the basement to offset the cost or possibly break even.
Check out my "shopping list" and let me know if you think my husband should allow me to go overboard :).
I love that shower curtain, strangelight! Good luck with the move.
My husband and I are hosting an art faculty party at our place on August 24th, so my timeline has me finishing up a bit early. In that regard, all of my purchases have already been made aside from a better squeegee with which to wash our windows. My project was to get a side table in better shape with Restor-A-Finish which I completed yesterday. Today I will be Feed-N-Waxing all of the wood furniture on the second floor. I have spent a bit more money than I realized, so this budget review has been a good exercise!
Restor-A-Finish and Feed-N-Wax: Already on hand
Squeegee: $20
Mat board supplies and one frame: $60 (I custom cut some mats with our Logan mat cutter)
3 Ikea frames purchased with gift card: $60 (one fell apart on me so a return needs to be made :-P)
Jonathan Adler little tray: $22
Wooden box for tv remotes: $20
H&M pillows: $26
Pretty candle: $22
Decorative tea cups for the kitchen: $60
Grand total: $290 - $60 gift card = $230
I'm spiffying up all around our house for this party, but concentrating mostly on our living room.
Found out last week that I'm getting laid off at the end of the month, so the budget for the Cure just got cut to $100.
Headboard--$25 (already found this on Craigslist)
Yarn and hook for rug I'm crocheting--$35
Decorative picture hangers--$5
Clip rings for curtains--$20
Which leaves me $15 to do something totally frivolous with. Will have to think about that.
@xarcady Sorry to hear about that :( Never good news to receive.
@wig3000 I love the idea of putting remotes in a wooden box. Such a simple concept! Thanks for the idea!
Does anyone know the name of the white pencil holder on the desk in the image on this page? I want to add it to my shopping list... ;) THANKS!
Dining/Office Combination Facelift:
$120 Craiglist dining table with wrought iron base and wood top to seat 8 to 10
$50 refinishing supplies for said tabletop
$40 attractive binders for workspace (Anyone know of a good source?)
+ $60 hopefully selling kitchen pantry cabinet that did not fit on Craigslist
Total: $150
PS I am driving my partner crazy with room rearranging and questions!
Have any of you had luck getting Benjamin Moore colors matched to a less expensive brand of paint???
I'm struggling a little bit with pinning down an actual shopping list so early on in the cure (especially since I keep having second thoughts about my chosen orange/blue/grey colour scheme), but here goes:
Cushions: £35
Grey sheepskin (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60114112/): £35
Lampshade: £20
Throw for sofa: £20
Accessories: £30
Total: £140 - which I don't have to spare this month, so I may just buy a few things that I've seen already and keep an eye out for the rest.
@erinpearce I have Home Depot color-match Behr to BM all the time and I've been perfectly happy with the results. You don't even need to scan a swatch; they have a database with the correct mixtures so you just need the color name. Clark + Kensington at Ace I've heard can be match to BM and I may try them out this time since they're soooo much closer to me.
I've got a pretty small budget for my room: $100. My must-haves are:
- Paint ($35)
- 2x8 Boards for shelving ($15)
- Brackets for shelving ($12)
- Pots + potting soil ($15)
- New fabric for pillows (we'll see what I can find)
- Frames for existing art (ditto)
Things I would love to add would be:
- lighting
- piano bench
- rug
- additional art
- nicer desk organizers
I don't know if those last ones will make it into the budget though.
Room: Master Bedroom
2 king pillow shams, 2 standard pillow shams, 2 roll pillow shams in navy blue and gray-blue (mixture of solids and geometric patters) - $100
Lingerie chest (25" w x 16" d x 60" h)- $250
Nice-looking rectangular laundry hamper with lid (will be in the room; no space in bathroom or closet) - $50
Total - $400
Nice to have:
Bookcase (38" w x 13" d x 42" h) - we have a bookcase already but it's shorter and the top is deeper
2 Blankets in navy blue - we have white comforters but sometimes they are too warm; navy blankets could be folded at the foot of the bed (the blankets we have are olive green and we hide them under the bed)
Possibly a pouf or ottoman to temporarily hold clothes, ideally in navy blue; we used to have a chair for clothes, but I need to remove it to make room for the lingerie chest (and it goes in the dining room anyway)
I would love to spend less $ on all this. Any suggestions welcome. I like this hamper but it's pricey:
Lamp shade $40, fake tree $70, alread have the shelves, $50 or so for the yellow cardboard to make my ceiling yellow, already bought a pack of 10 photo frames which i put a pic of a concrete wall to give an industrial look
My Style Cure is going both very well and very poorly, haha. I painted all my gorgeous color boards with Farrow & Ball gray shades, and I researched window treatments so extensively that I turned my findings into an ebook! But I also decided we might need to hold off on big purchases, so we might only do a fraction of the changes we had planned. Not sure yet; we'll see!
thanks seshat! home depot is very close so i'll try behr!
After the budget review, I cut a few items. Happy to say the previous steps in the cure have really helped me to prioritize. I'm focusing on finishing/collecting artwork and solving storage issues. I've set a $150 budget for: frame, varnish, lampshade, baskets and storage containers.
Long term, I'll be on the lookout for a round side table and a really beautiful tray for the coffee table - I wish: http://pinterest.com/pin/274860383481313526/
Everything is really starting to come together!
Our shopping list is short:
Rag rug floor mat. (New, two $30 each? from the Cotton Store).
Arm chair. (Work in progress, may not get this month).
Couch cover. (I think these were $40).
Considering my budget is still at $0, I'm hoping my partner will jump on board! Haha.
We also need to find some wooden/ board something to make a table top. Still working on that part! **Haven't even told partner yet!**
Also as usual, I blogged and pinned:
Like the Ikea chair....is it comfy? So tired of chairs that don't fit the body (my body) properly. Like the wings and the price...
Ugh, when I put my list together, I see this project will cost me a lot more than I thought!!! But there is a lot of furniture involved so I don't know why I expected less!!or
Rattan sofa, originally 2000 euro but I am getting 400 SCORE!!!
Ikea Nisse chairs 6 pc 72 euro
Ikea floating shelf 20 euro
Ikea plant shelf PS 29 euro
Mirror for sunburst DIY 20 euro
4 tall plants for privacy 100 euro
planters 50 euro
So the total as of now is 671 euro!!
I still need to buy cushions for couch, a coffee table that I am hoping to find and refurbish and eventually find some outdoor poofs with storage!!! But thats all for the future!!!
@maryl.hershelman My husband and I went on a lunch date this past weekend to Ikea. I ordered the meatballs of course, but I sat in the Strandmon chair and was actually pleasantly surprised! Being a petite person, there was definitely some space to my left and right when I sat in it, but I felt like the back of the chair hugged my back. My husband then sat in it (also a small guy:) and he liked it too. We had no intentions of going there to look at living room chairs because we love the one we have. Truth be told, the one we have is more comfortable, but not nearly as stylish!
I have five 18 by 36 inch mirrors being delivered for $120 ... And another 5 that are another size that he is throwing in. Yay, Craig's list. Ordered seeds for fall /winter garden $70 and will pick up additional planters this weekend $50. Still to order is the replacement vertical garden wall $140 and the soil $75. I ordered creme sheets $40 (mega sale). Still need to draw up the space...and clear the deck.
bbitondo, I am very curious as to what you have planned.....care to share?
I am a bit behind, as I have been slammed at work. Other than paint, and waiting for the estimate on reupholstering my craigslist $60 sofa, my list is probably under $100, unless you count gas driving to the lake to photograph sailboats for wall art and pick up driftwood for a sculpture.....Question though, I am loving not having a rug in the living room, just bare wood floors....am I going to regret this later? thanks
I'm a bit behind, but:
Paint (BM Glass Slipper - 2 Gallons) - around $100
Curtain Rods (Lowe's) - $100
Installation of Curtain Rods $65 (I am very fussy and knew I couldn't get them aligned properly myself :-( )
Duvet Cover & Shams: $147
Comforter - $129 (an unexpected expense as I foolishly didn't realize my comforter didn't fit in the new duvet cover! ARGH)
New pillows: $20 (on sale - yay!)
Curtains/Drapes - I'm still looking into this. I don't want to bust the budget but don't want something crappy looking as this will be my first nice looking bedroom in 4 years! Guess: $100?
Nightstands: Still researching this one... would like to keep it under $100 for 2 (Craigslist?)
Large picture hangers: $5.00
Art or Headboard Sticker for above the bed - less than $100
I should have done this before I started this project, as I was planning to spend about $500 but this is almost double that. If I could start over, I would have kept researching the bedding before I bought. Lesson learned!
$100 for the complete Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation Kit in Linen
$100 for oil-rubbed bronze hardware in assorted styles
$100 for a bright-colored rug
Oh @cuminafterall I just tried Restor-a-Finish and Feed-n-Wax on my credenza and I LOVE it! Great buy. You're welcome to see how it turned out here: http://lamourcheznous.com/2013/08/09/our-gorgeous-and-restored-mid-century-modern-credenza/
I love that lamp.

Great bookshelf
BioMAD from Princeton, NJ– Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble and sturdy. It holds several books that my 14 month old can easily reach. I painted the sides with magnetic paint.
A useful piece
Mommy from Raleigh NC– Verified Buyer
A good product for the money. The only drawback is that it is not great for large children's books.
Reading promotor
Mrs. Terzian from Jacksonville, Fl
This book display was easy to put together. My son enjoys having this in his room because he can easily find books to read. It promotes him to read since we dedicated an area in his room where he can sit quietly with a good book and read. The color on the book display is very bright and cheery. We also have an infant that is learning to crawl and I don't have to worry about it tipping over and falling on him. This was a great buy and we are enjoying it.
Exactly as expected
B. McCarty from Santa Fe, TX
This bookcase was exactly as I expected it to be. There are enough places on both sides of this bookcase to hold many books, My only regret is that I did not buy two. Good job by the site. They even did a price match or I should say that they went lower than the other places online and only required the name of the website I found the cheaper price on. They are the best.

This turned out great. I used a mix of colby jack and reduced fat cheddar since that is what I had. I also reduced the milk to 2 1/4 cups since the picture looked a little soupy, and I thought that worked out great. I also used whole wheat mini shells. I will definitely make this one again.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Homeowners in one east Louisville neighborhood say they've had it. In the past month, their normally quiet streets have twice been the scene of a meth lab cleanup. Police say as soon as the culprits get locked up they are out and right back in the same house. Neighbors didn't see it coming.
"Beware of dog" signs on the front of a house combined with a health department warning about "dangers from a meth lab."
"You hear about it happening in other areas," said Mike Pedigo, a neighbor, "but when it happens in your neighborhood, it hits home."
Brookhaven, located off of Browns Lane, has been called home to a good mix of both seniors and young families.
The problem began a few weeks ago when Louisville Metro Police busted Christopher Lane, 30, for a meth lab at the home he owns in the 4000 block of Lynnbrook Drive. Police were back Tuesday for a second arrest. Lane, Destinee Belcher, 19, and another man, Patrick "Kip" Laliherte, 24, were charged. Twenty four hours later, the three were out of jail and right back in the contaminated house.
"We got people that are getting in for meth labs and are out the next day, it's sad," said neighbor Lee Downing. "What type of people are around here?"
We wanted to find out, but the people inside the house in question had no interest in talking to us.
"That's not for neighborhoods, especially neighborhoods here with a school just a half mile up the road or less and we've got a catholic church and a school down the other side and we need help getting these out of these areas," Pedigo said of the meth lab.
Homeowners said they appreciate the police work, but are fed up with the judicial system and are vowing to get the help they need to make sure Brookhaven doesn't become a "methhaven."
Neighbors said they've seen children inside the home at different times.
The three arrested face meth production charges. The homeowners plan to meet with Marilyn Parker, the district's new Metro Councilwoman. Parker said she is looking into the nuisance abatement ordinance and will investigate the problem.

Njoy is one of the most unique e-cig companies out there. While most companies focus on selling rechargeable batteries and cartomizers, Njoy focuses on cheaper, higher quality disposable e-cigs. However, the Njoy King is not for everyone. The nicotine levels are so high in the King that casual vapers or those used to a much smaller amount of nicotine can enjoy them.
So, What Does NJOY Offer In Terms Of Nicotine Levels?
The Njoy King is available in two different nicotine levels. The lowest level is 3.5%, or 35 mg of nicotine. The other option is 4%, or 40 mg of nicotine. In contrast, the highest nicotine level available from other e-cig companies is 2.4 % or 24 mg. This is usually sufficient nicotine for those who smoke unfiltered cigarettes.
The extremely high levels of nicotine in the Njoy King is really only for those who really like a lot of nicotine or can't vape without it. I don't really like or need that much nicotine, but I appreciate it when the e-cig companies offer higher levels for those who do. Conversely, I find it irritating when companies only focus on a small range of nicotine strengths.
Aside from the amount of nicotine available, the nicotine strength of an e-cig is best evaluated by examining nicotine delivery. Nicotine is delivered by the vapor, which means that e-cigs with better vapor quality and quantity are more capable of delivering nicotine. In some e-cigs, higher nicotine levels are effectively neutralized by poor vapor quality. This is not the case with the Njoy King, which produces solid, if not exceptional vapor. This vapor is good enough to effectively deliver the higher levels of nicotine.

Enforcement and Assistance in New England
Environmental Crimes
In April 2003, approximately 98,000 gallons of oil contaminated over 90 miles of pristine shoreline in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. The spill killed at least 450 federally protected birds and closed thousands of acres of shellfish beds, putting many fishermen out of work for weeks. Some of the shellfish beds still remain closed, over two-and-a-half years later. The spill also crippled local tourism and recreational activities. The clean-up of the spill cost more than $40 million.
In November of 2004, the Bouchard Company pled guilty to violating the Clean Water Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The company was fined $10 million, the largest fine ever in an oil spill case in New England. A significant portion of the fine, $7 million, will be used for eligible wetlands conservation projects in the Buzzards Bay watershed, which is located in southeastern Massachusetts. A smaller portion of the fine, $2 million, will be paid to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund and the remaining $1 million will be suspended if the company successfully establishes the environmental program ordered by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The company was also ordered to comply with remedial measures to prevent oil spills.
In May of 2005, Franklin Robert Hill, the first mate on the tugboat, also pled guilty to violating the Clean Water Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. He was sentenced to five months incarceration in federal prison, to be followed by one year of supervised release. Hill was the person responsible for navigating and piloting the tugboat and barge. He allowed the boat to drift off course towards the rocks when he left the wheelhouse for an extended period of time.

Advanced fuel cell technology + traditional Japanese aesthetics = a premium sedan
Honda was the world's first automaker to bring a fuel cell vehicle to market. The KIWAMI matches Honda's clean-performing fuel cell technology with the Japanese aesthetic of cleanliness to create an ideal sedan for the next generation. The beauty of a landscape as it changes hues with the seasons; the gentle murmur of a clean, flowing stream; the scent of a new season carried on the breeze ....
The Japanese aesthetic sensibility and values are expressed in this unique vehicle, with its quietly strong, minimalist stance. KIWAMI's form embodies a simple, primitive beauty, yet advanced intelligent technologies concealed within ensure a quiet, safe, pleasant ride. Advanced packaging technology that made possible the lower floor ensures a roomy interior despite the vehicle's low roofline. The interior design reflects the Japanese sense of a luxurious, relaxing atmosphere. The latest in clean-running fuel cell technology meets the beauty of traditional Japan in this new premium sedan.
A new premium sedan with a cool dynamic design
A square design with vertically positioned side windows sets off the car's striking, wide-bodied, low-slung form.
Advanced yet simple design captures the Japanese sensibility
The interior design is based on the kind of feeling a person experiences when contemplating a carefully tended garden, or watching the interplay of light and shadow on a paper screen. The KIWAMI's unique aesthetic harmonizes advanced features such as an exterior information display and panel-touch shifting with a traditional Japanese sensibility for the ultimate in comfort and hospitality.
Advanced fuel cell system in an H-shaped power plant layout
Honda's original fuel cell system combines a Honda manufactured, next-generation, high performance stack and DC motor with a next-generation hydrogen storage system to realize improved response and energy efficiency. An H-shaped layout for the control unit, ultracapacitor, fuel cell stack, hydrogen storage unit, and other components creates a low center of gravity, lower overall vehicle height, and a spacious interior, along with stable synchronized-control 4WD handling performance.

There is no doubt that Rick Nash is the face of the Columbus Blue Jackets' organization. He is the team captain and signature player, two huge reasons why he was awarded an eight-year, $62.4 million contact in July, 2009.
But Nash is the player who must step up the most this year, the very player for whom the reverence and excuses need to discontinue.
It's been commonly believed in the national and local media that the Columbus Blue Jackets must find, as their number one priority, a suitable playmaking center to play alongside Nash, without whom Nash is stifled in what he can do for this team.
I'm not going to question that having a legitimate center could have resulted in far greater scoring success for the first overall pick of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. I will, however, say that what Nash has been provided for in the way of a center is far improved from his earlier seasons.
What I really believe is that it's timing for Nash to step up and take his game to a far greater level than was seen during the 2009-10 season. The time for excuses, particularly for the recipient of $62.4 million contract, no longer holds weight.
It's a commonly known fact that legitimate number one centers don't grow on trees. There might be anywhere from 10-12 bona fide first-line centers in the NHL. And the Blue Jackets haven't done a great job of developing/acquiring one of their own over the organization's first decade.
But let's take a look at the centers Nash has been paired with, particularly during the past few seasons:
2007-08 and the majority of the 2008-09 season – Manny Malhotra
2008-09 (after Vermette was acquired at the March 4, 2009 NHL trade deadline) and the entire 2009-10 season – Antoine Vermette
With no disrespect to Malhotra, a guy whose absence has been sorely missed, Vermette, while perhaps a second line center, is a massive upgrade offensively over Nash's previous centering partner, which can be summarized as follows:
Malhotra (131 total games): 19 goals – 37 assists – 56 total points.
Vermette (99 total games): 34 goals – 44 assists – 78 total points
In order to try to justify the claim that Nash has never had a suitable center, Nash's center's point totals would have had to either stay the same or drop. However, on a points/game basis, Malhotra's total points/game percentage was 43% while Vermette's total points/game percentage was 79%.
While Nash and Vermette jelled quite nicely for the 2008-2009 playoff push, Vermette then recognized his career-best point totals of 65 total points during 2009-10, Nash recognized a 12-point drop – from a career-best 79 points in 2008-09 to 67 points in 2009-10 – during the very same season, with the identical first-line partners (Kristian Huselius is the other member of the Blue Jackets top line).
And Nash's goals scored went from 38 to 40 goals from 2007-08 to 2008-09, but they dropped to 33 in 2009-10.
Add to that the Blue Jackets team point-total drop from 92 points during the 2008-09 season to 79 points during the 2009-10 season, and it's not hard to correlate the drops in Nash's performance to that of his team.
If you're "scoring at home," that's a 13-point drop in total Blue Jacket team points against a 12-point and seven-goal drop for Nash. And, for a team whose record in overtime and shootouts went from 11-10 in 2008-09 to 5-15 in 2009-10, having Nash return to his 2008-09 form is paramount for the Blue Jackets to have any legitimate chance at returning to the playoffs.
From a financial perspective, Nash's drop in production is a concern. Nash is currently the 16th highest paid player in the NHL; however, he was 36th in total points scored during the 2009-10 season.
Beyond the numbers – scoring and financial, however, is a concern that does draw scrutiny from Blue Jacket fans and that is Nash's propensity for going through lengthy scoring droughts. When the Blue Jackets went into their 3-14-7 spiral for the period from November 21, 2009 through January 16, 2010, Nash scored seven goals and 12 assists (24 games) whereas Nash scored 14 goals and registered 11 assists during the Blue Jackets' 12-6-2 start.
Over the course of the prior two seasons, when you analyze the relationship to Nash scoring to the Blue Jackets success, the correlation is almost purely linear.
It has often been said that, in order for the Blue Jackets to become an upper-tier NHL team, that Nash should not be its best player. One of the top two or three, sure, but not its best player. The Blue Jackets organization have slowly built the team to provide secondary scoring and a new system designed for success today's NHL, but, until that day arrives, Nash must be the key to its success.

Work/Nutrition Balance
By Gloria Altherr
The best excuse for staring into that treasure trove of goodies, aka the vending machine, is " I don't have time to eat right because I work crazy hours." For a perpetual snacker like me, it sounds darn reasonable any time of the day, but especially when it gets late. I've also been trying to lose that last 15 pounds of baby weight (the baby turned ten) forever. Time to get serious!
I decided that I needed to get fuel from better sources than those small bags of delicious, crunchy, chocolatey, calorie-filled goodness. It's time for small bags of delicious, crunchy, sometimes chocolatey, good food. And while I was at it, I'd get the whole family involved because it seemed to make sense.
I added quantities of seasonal vegetables and occasional fruits to my shopping lists twice a week. This means four pounds of green beans when in season. I steam them lightly (you don't want to kill the crunch) and place them in a large bowl in the fridge. I remove a large container for myself every morning, and smaller ones for the children's lunch boxes. Insta-snacks! Carrot sticks, celery sticks, pomegranate seeds, even the occasional chocolate drizzled rice cake, make for crunchy treats that make snacking healthier and low calorie, not to mention less expensive than machine fare. There's a wonderful root vegetable called jicama, which I peel, cut into French fry-like sticks and douse in lemon juice. It's very refreshing and will have coworkers asking, "what's that?" every time.
Now, our fridge is full of bowls of one vegetable or another. The children have their favorites and I make certain we have variety from local farmers' markets. We've had our duds (there aren't too many calls for baked parsnip curls). Creativity can sometimes backfire. But, lunches and after school snacks always include a sampling of some veggie or another.
Cookies are not banned, just not the first option. We always have rice cakes, almonds raisins, and low fat cheese sticks available, too, to round things out. My husband has even jumped on the veggie bandwagon to a degree.
I usually bring most of my food to work. Cooking is a weekend pleasure so I'll steam pots of brown rice and throw it into little bowls during the week. A piece of fish or a bit of stir fry from dinner, some veggie containers and I'm set. Keeping sugar, salt and white flour at bay has given me more energy and strangely, stress seems less pronounced.
It's a bit of work, but worth it. I still manage to consume my body weight in food every day (or so it seems). But, the pants feel better and I've saved a nice bit from not buying calorie-laden snacks and food from local places. Yes, a candy bar calls once in a while, and I answer… once in a while.

Elections Do Not Make a Democracy
Over the past 25 years, we have seen an increase in the number of countries holding elections. Going through the exercise, however, does not mean the will of the people is being reflected or that countries are establishing democratic processes. Michael Svetlik, IFES vice president for programs, talks to us about the trend of holding sham elections and the reasons why the practice is increasing.

Blackhorn: I assume the less damage means the Skyfire takes longer to be shot down, but the adds still come at the same pace. Very little difference between normal and LFR.
Spine: Will still need to shoot down 3 of the tentacles and contend with the healing debuff (don't think that's getting nerfed, so you'll still need the same amount of healing), and will still need to roll off excess amalgamations.
Madness: Fight's pretty much the same between normal and LFR, without any mechanics removed. The numbers will be much closer, though.
So, there will still be a jump in difficulty between LFR and Normal, but it won't be so steep. I personally think that the content isn't all that challenging, but it seems a few people have difficulty with it, so that's who the nerfs are for.
For those who can clear normal, since winning was already a forgone conclusion, that just makes it faster.
I'm not sure why there's discussion of a 35% nerf. The nerf is 5%, and Blizzard has said they may not increase to 30% like in ICC.
That being said, you missed some things for some encounters:
Zon'ozz: the debuff does a *lot* of dog compared to LFR, and another 60k when dispelled, and knocks the player back. So for the foreseeable future, healers need to heal a lot for the debuff and dispel at the right time, i.e. don't dispel a player when the ball is about to hit their group. Also, there is actual tank damage, unlike LFR.
Blackhorn: don't forget the sappers. Let more than one of those guys get through and your boat is probably going down. Also, Shockwave combined with his damaging shout is still likely to kill a player, so Shockwave has to be avoided at all cost.
Madness: damage reduction cooldowns very useful for elementium bolt, plus you *have* to be far away from where it lands if you can't deterrence/cloak it. Also, in LFR you can get away with not everyone killing Blistering Tentacles, although the most common reason for wiping there is not enough people switching. The big difference in Madness from LFR to normal is that in LFR, less than half the raid needs to be at all competent, while in normal *everyone* needs to do the right things at the right times the whole 12-15 minutes of the encounter.
Honestly, what would be ideal for smaller guilds like mine is if we could run LFR with 12-15 people without pugging any additional players.
Stilhelm, I believe the 35% is because the Raid Finder is 35% 'nerfed'/easier compared to normal mode.
If this is the case, it's understandable why Blizzard is hesitant to bring the nerfing to 30%. The difference between the Raid Finder and normal mode would become too... vague.
"Also, in LFR you can get away with not everyone killing Blistering Tentacles, although the most common reason for wiping there is not enough people switching. The big difference in Madness from LFR to normal is that in LFR, less than half the raid needs to be at all competent, while in normal *everyone* needs to do the right things at the right times the whole 12-15 minutes of the encounter."
Which makes my run in LFR last night REALLY REALLY pathetic... Our DPS was good, I've 1-shot madness with FAR worse damage being done, but we kept losing at least half our DPS to the Blistering Tentacles on the last platform, DESPITE repeatedly saying "Single-target, don't AoE". After 2-3 wipes, someone finally specifically called out the AoEs they saw people using and explained that they were ineffective. Of course, on THAT attempt our replacement "tank" went kitty form for the entire fight, and stayed solely on the Arm/Wing/DW. We wiped at 4 million health because the healers were just overwhelmed at that point trying to keep the single tank who was doing his job alive through the Elementium terrors. FINALLY after that, now that we had beaten the concept of "single-target the blistering tentacles or DIE" into the DPS and got another replacement tank who actually DID HIS JOB, we beat the encounter.
Needless to say, I was in no mood to run LFR on my DK like I had intended after that.

In the link you provide, at the very end, it promotes the SSPX. Why are you posting it here?
I don't have a problem with topics that "touch" on the SSPX. I do have a problem promoting the SSPX as if their Masses are licit because the Church says they are not; nor is the SSPX authorized to dispense the Sacraments.
As far as you throwing CM's apparent purchase of a "Traditional Singles Site" into here, I don't know what possible relevance it has to my comments nor how it buttresses your suggestion (innuendo) that they too are promoting the SSPX. You are just muddying the discussion. I suspect that you are misrepresenting what CM is doing and constructing as if a parallel to cloak your action.
I don't see CM promoting SSPX's services. Perhaps someone from the CM staff can/will chime in, either in support of your comment or provide a clarification. If they do not, I am still quite content with my impression and don't need a clarification.
Now, if there are persons who are coming here having had been with the SSPX, well so much the better. I would think that they would do better here then where they were. Having the consolation of being "in touch" with a Catholic site and closer to the Church is where we belong.
True aspirations without game playing is what provides us the TLM by the Church.

GeekMom god Alan Tudyk tweeted out the news that Chatswin, the fictional town from ABC's Suburgatory, was on its way to becoming a real town.
Of course, it was an April Fools' joke — and an obvious one at that. After all, aside from a few very special episodes, the show's setting always seemed like sort of a horrible place to live. Chatswin is clean, but it's got that whole Stepford vibe. After all, isn't that the whole idea behind the show? So that got me thinking about some of the fictional TV towns that would have me willing to relocate. Here's what I could come up with:
1) Smallville, Kansas (Smallville). Everyone is nice, pretty easy on the eyes, and seems to support local business. Of course, it has sort of a high crime rate, but hailing from the hometown of one of history's greatest superheroes would be some pretty cool bragging rights.
2) Mayberry, North Carolina (The Andy Griffith Show). It could be a lot more diverse and it's even a little cliché. That said, the people are nice and the slow pace is really appealing — even to a tech junkie like myself. And really, if your town's biggest problems are bootlegging and moonshining, that's the place I want to be.
3) Pawnee, Indiana (Parks and Recreation). It's sort of dumpy, but it's also home to some of the best worst-for-you food I've ever drooled over. Sweetums aside, Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America says that vistors can feast on the 9-pound Meat Tornado Burrito at Big Head Joe's or just camp out at JJ's Diner, where you can "order waffle toppings as coffee toppings."
What fictional TV town would you consider calling home?

Kids With Food Allergies Targets for Bullies
Adults Bully, Too
Study co-author Scott Sicherer, MD, who is chief of the pediatric allergy division at Mount Sinai, says kids aren't the only ones who bully children with food allergies.
Adults who don't understand food allergies often added to the stresses of children who have them by singling them out, often in the school setting.
"They may say, 'We're having a class party, but we can't have this food or that food because of Billy's allergies,'" he says.
Morgan Smith's mom Nicole remembers the PTA meeting where a classmate's mother announced that she was sick of all the nonsense about peanut allergies and 'peanut free zones.'
"She said she was bringing peanut butter cookies for field day and she didn't care what anybody thought about it," Nicole Smith says. "I just sat back and watched as another parent whose son was in Cub Scouts with mine got up said 'I can't believe you would do something that would put other people's children at risk.' I didn't have to say a word."
Another incident involved a parent who insisted that her fifth grader's mid-morning snack had to be a Snickers bar, even though all the classrooms were peanut-free.
"The principal told her if that was the case, she had to bring a note from her son's doctor," Smith says.
'Speak Up, Don't Suffer in Silence'
Smith says she has been fortunate to have school administrators who took food allergies seriously and a son whose personality allowed him to not only survive his early school years but thrive.
The Smiths have lived in the same neighborhood since Morgan was little and he is now friends with the two kids who bullied him in first grade.
He also speaks to younger children about bullying, telling them about the importance of not suffering in silence.
"Especially with food allergies, kids can be shy and antisocial," he says. "But it is important to make one close friend or two or three. Having people behind you to stand up to a bully is important. When people stand with you the bullying stops."

Kim Kardashian & Kanye Accused of 'Forgetting' to Pay for Their Ice Cream
LOL! We did it! Free ice cream!Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may owe someone some money ... and an apology. Those two crazy kids are in London, where Kim and Kourtney are promoting the Kardashian Kollection, and they're getting into all sorts of trouble. No, it's not that they're going crazy partying, and nah uh, there's no evidence of Kanye canoodling with another woman in a dark corner of a club, and nope, there isn't even a Kris Jenner nip slip that we can blame on Kimye. Unfortunately, what these two are up to is way worse. Kim and Kanye did something so egregious, so malicious, and so rude that I almost can't bear to say the words ... deep breaths ... Kim and Kanye didn't pay for their ice cream.
According to an employee at the Häagen-Dazs cafe in London's Leicester Square, the pair ordered their frozen dairy desserts, then skedaddled without paying the bill.
Dear Kim Kardashian & Kanye West thank you for coming in HD, you could've at least payed for your ice-cream, regards the girl that served u (sic)!"
Then, when she got doused in haterade from Kim and Kanye fans, she explained:
Dear @KimObsessed FYI, I told Kayne to come to pay at the till and he told me "we'll get these for free" I told him "what? No" and they just left ...
It's been reported that Kim and Kanye created a mob scene when they went out for ice cream. Fans were everywhere and that security had to be used, but that one disgruntled scoop shop worker doesn't think that's any excuse for not paying for your gosh darn cone.
I guess when you're used to getting everything for free in life, it's hard to remember that we have this universally accepted program by which patrons are given goods in exchange for government-recognized currency.
For all we know, this is totally made up, but poor Kimye, always forgetting the basics. Who knows, maybe brain freeze set in?
What do you think of this story?

How much of the decline in unemployment is due to the exhaustion of unemployment benefits?
AbstractPrior studies have examined the impact of extended unemployment insurance (UI) benefits on the rise in the unemployment rate in this recession and early recovery. We use real-time microdata from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Population Survey (CPS) to examine whether there has been a reverse effect recently as benefits have been exhausted. We find that if UI benefits had lasted indefinitely, the unemployment rate would have been cumulatively about 0.1 to 0.3 percentage points higher between October 2009 and January 2011, which represents about 10% to 25% of the decline in the actual rate over that period.

Playing board games is my favorite activity. Although I favor games that drip with theme such as Arkham Horror and Last Night on Earth, I'm up for any game with good people.
Arkham Horror, Glory to Rome, Marvel Legendary, Dungeoneer, Nightfall, Rune Wars, Marvel Heroes, Race for the Galaxy
Call of Cthulhu LCG, Nightfall, Marvel Legendary, Smash Up, Thunderstone, Merchants and Marauders
Mainly focusing on Call of Cthulhu but also own Warhammer: Invasion.

Popped up on meetup as I was visiting another of my groups.
This group is the best! Quick games, long games, simple games, serious games. They play it all with the only price being having a good time.
Thank you for the welcome. I don't know how many people might be interested but I'll probably bring along my Zombicide Season 1 & 2 as well as Space Hulk (3rd Ed) and Star Wars X-Wing.
Sadly we were not able to be there because of a schedule change for my husband...but we will definitely be at the next one...I am looking forward to meeting everyone and playing some new games!
Thank you for the warm welcome! Sundays and Tuesdays are currently my free days so I should be able to make it to a couple of the game nights for sure.
Thanks. I'm planning to bring my Star Wars cards to the Something to Do this Wednesday. Hope to see you there.
Thanks for the Greeting! Looking forward to playing sometime.
Thanks for the greeting Logan. Thanks for the offer to teach me LCGs. Looking forward to connecting!
I'm eager to learn :) hope to be attending a meet up soon.
Thanks for the welcome Logan, take care.
Hey man, thanks! I look forward to seeing you there!

my other outfit was by Finesterre. Wore well, looked nice and made from British Merino Wool. Clever.
This girls properly worked it, not sure the outfit is that great for cycling. High fashion

Changyou.com Ltd Stock Upgraded (CYOU)
- CYOU's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 1.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 50.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.

(Updates with excerpt from complaint starting in second paragraph.)
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch unit was sued in New York by Loreley Financing over alleged misrepresentations involving $92 million worth of collateralized debt obligations.
The suit stems from Loreley's purchase of classes of notes issued in connection with two collateralized debt obligations, according to a complaint filed today in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
"Defendants made material misrepresentations to plaintiffs, omitted material facts, conspired to defraud plaintiffs, were responsible for fraudulent conveyances, aided and abetted others' fraud and fraudulent conveyances," Lorely said in the complaint.
William Halldin, a spokesman for Charlotte, North Carolina- based Bank of America, said the company believes "there is no merit to the claims" and plans to defend itself in court.
The case is Loreley Financing (Jersey) No. 3 Ltd. v. Merrill Lynch, 652732/2011, New York State Supreme Court, (Manhattan).
