Reader Redesign: Affordable Kitchen Overhaul
When Rachel sent us her recently DIYed kitchen makeover we had to share the goods. Here's her letter:
To say that there are touches of YHL in our newly renovated kitchen/dining room would be an understatement. I "borrowed" many of your ideas! First we removed the upper half of the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room. And after the dated wallpaper came down we painted both rooms with a 5 gallon bucket of Valspar paint to cut costs. We removed the upper kitchen cabinet doors to create an "open" look while the lower doors are original (we sanded, primed, & repainted them). We also added new hinges & hardware. Then we installed a beadboard backspash to take attention away from the original formica counters that we couldn't yet upgrade. We also got a cast iron sink from Craigslist for $30 which included a faucet. The dining room light as well as the shelves on the wall are both YHL steals (the light is a direct CB2 light copy of the one in your dining area and the Ikea shelves are like the ones you have next to your table). All in all, our project cost was under $1000 and we did it ALL ourselves with the help of my handy carpenter dad and amazing husband. I relied heavily on your advice & before/after pictures during the renovation and I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks for such a great site, and congrats on the little one!! There are more photos on my blog along with some pics of my two little helpers (we did this all with an almost 3 year old and an 8 month old!). – Rachel
Here are the before photos of Rachel's closed in kitchen and dining room:
And here are the after photos of her amazingly open and updated kitchen and dining area:
Isn't that fantastic? We love how Rachel wasn't afraid to knock out that wall for a much more airy and expansive feeling, and the fact that she was able to add a new backsplash, hinges, hardware, and even a new cast iron sink for under 1K is pretty amazing (thanks to budget saving methods like repainting her existing cabinets and removing the doors on the uppers). Plus we can't forget that figure also includes the work they did in the dining area (from creating the pass through and bringing in that new pendant light to the floating shelves and the window treatments). Isn't that a gorgeous two room makeover on the cheap? We love inspiring overhauls like this where it's all about creativity, elbow grease, and a bit of Craigslist and Ikea deal hunting.
What do you guys think? Didn't Rachel do an amazing job stretching her moolah and gaining an entirely new area in her home without doling out the big bucks? What's your favorite part? We're thinking we most adore the open feeling they created between both rooms, but all those fun red accents in the kitchen (along with those breezy red curtains in the dining room) are quite charming as well.

Oh wow! That looks so amazing!!
Great work!
Wow – this is amazing!!! I love the whole look – especially the open cabinets! I can't believe how different it looks for $1000. Great job!
Wow! That looks amazing for just $1,000! My favorite part is the missing wall – so much more open. I'm also loving the new sink.
Holy cow – that's amazing! Nice work!
That looks so different & wonderful! Great job! I love it.
Removing the upper-cabinet doors really did wonders to open up the space in addition to knocking out that wall. Great job!!
What a great transformation! Would Rachel be able to post where she got those dreamy dining room curtains and blinds from? Thanks!
Very nice! I love the open shelves, neutral wall color and red accents.
Wow! I'm speechless! This kitchen is absolutely beautiful (:
They did an amazing job.
Her kitchen is wonderful. I totally could do that to mine.I love the idea of the beadboard back splash. Her blog is blocked for me. What did she paint the beadboard with so it is washable (food splatters)? Would trim paint work well here?
Rachel –
Your overhaul is amazing and beautiful. Want to come do my kitchen? :)
It is beautiful and very inspiring! Congratulations!
What are they doing about venting cooking fumes since there is no range hood now? Is opening the windo enough?
Looks great!! I admire anyone brave enough to take doors off cabinets. I'm not willing/able to show off my cabinets.
It looks very bright and crisp! Love it.
They did an amazing job! I love the idea of beadboard. We have formica right now and then the backsplash piece is the same pattern-ugly. LOL. Since we have enough of a lip before the backsplash, that would be an awesome solution and easy to cut. I just may have to do the same!
BTW-I did a post on bathroom inspiration and linked to both of your recent bathroom updates. I LOVE them and wanted to share them with all of my readers. Here is the link:
Gorgeous! I'd give my right arm for a kitchen like that. I think the countertops and the cabinets are actually pretty decent. I really like that molding (sp?) on the cabinets. It's much nicer than a plain front with nothing.
Way to go, Rachel! Very impressive! Looks amazing! That's so much work and what a pay-off!!
This looks great, Rachel – thanks for sharing YHL!
We are getting ready to re-do our kitchen, and I love the idea of leaving some cabinets doorless, and now might give it a try! Thanks for the inspiration!
I had to scroll between the two pictures about 6 times before I'd convinced myself those were the same cabinets. Amazing how much a few coats of paint, losing some doors and half a wall can update a room. Looks amazing.
My favorite part is also the removal of half the wall. I also like the recessed lighting and the beadboard. But honestly, her whole house is super cute – just checked out the blog!
Rachel, do you recall what color of paint you used to for your big brick fireplace?
Absolutely beautiful!!
I love this! Makes me tempted to remove my cabinet doors, but I think it would look weird in my kitchen since I have a soffit that goes up to the ceiling.
Is a range hood always necessary? Ours just vents right back into the room, it seems pretty useless. I'm assuming it filters the air somehow, but it still doesn't seem like it actually does much.
I really love this! And the red accents are awesome (that is my favorite color!) I love how brave Rachel was in knocking out that wall. Rachel – did you find that you miss the cabinet space that was taken away after you knocked down the wall? It is funny because this looks JUST like my kitchen, except the dining room is not right next to the kitchen like that – although the living room is to the right of my kitchen. I don't know if I could make some sort of pass-through with mine but I will be looking into it now!
Love it!
You know I noticed that they didn't have a hood anymore too – and then I thought about it for a minute and realized that I never use mine unless something burns!
I wouldn't miss mine if it weren't there. Good job having the guts to go for it!
Rachel did an awesome job! That was $1000 well spent :)
Holy macaroni it's amazing what a grand well spent can do! Really lovely!
Wow, totally beautiful! Great job Rachel!! When I saw the before pictures, I couldn't imagine what the afters would look like… very very impressive!!
As for favorite points, I love the red touches too, with all the white.
Gorgeous job! Love the after. I have to ask – what's going on with the dog-door-looking thing in the before pics of the dining room wall, under the window?
Uh, the knocked out wall looks great…but now they don't have a vent for their cooktop! Can we say not up to code?
I was wondering the same thing about the vent hood…since that is the one thing that has kept me from knocking down some cabinets over and around my stove.
I'd love to know where she picked up the light fixture over the dining table.
Great job, Rachel! I love to see transformations like this :)
Hi guys, thanks for all the kind words! The ventilation issue is a bit of a pain, but opening the window over the sink has been an effective method thus far. We hope to add a vent hood in the future.
The dining room curtains are from Target and the swatch over the sink is homemade.
Sherry is right, we used high gloss paint on the backsplash and it has worked perfectly for food/water splatters.
Thanks again!
It looks great and really opens up the room!
However, as a real estate person, please don't pitch those cabinet doors! This is really style specific and the next person may want them back up (and they are hard to replace).
Looks fabulous……..what a great transformation. Thanks for sending in the pics Rachel!!
I've actually seen Rachel's home and it is beautiful!!! Great job on your kitchen, Reachel!
Love it! My husband and I just bought our first home together and know what it is like trying to add "our touch" on the cheap and have it look AwEsOmE! Our kitchen was redone right before we bought the house so I have been afraid to touch anything there…though it needs some brightening up… I think I could definitely get inspired by this post!!! Thanks!
Young and in Love too – Heather
WOW! Looks fab! Is that a valance or fabric roman blind in the window over the sink? Either way, it's cute! Our kitchen is currently under "mini-construction" and the afters of this keep my flame burning for my own to get done! Maybe I will have to send my pics to YHL as well.
Another quick question for Rachel or anyone else "in the know" on this one, how much can you expect to pay to remove and finish a wall like was done in this project? Assuming that the wall is not structural does anyone have an estimate? Thank you!
The rooms look beautiful! I really like the recessed lighting you added and the open cabinets.
Wow it all looks amazing! Rachel the pops of red are great and I love how open and airy your kitchen feels now. The cabinets look wonderful and you've arranged things so beautifully in the open ones. Not sure I would have enough pretty/matching dishware to pull it off but it looks great in your kitchen!:)
Very nice! If Rachel really wants to do something about the countertops, it's possible to paint them. There's a step-by-step here: http://oursuburbancottage.blogspot.com/2009/04/yes-you-can-paint-those-ugly-laminate.html I don't think they look bad as they are, though, they fade into the background pretty well.
My favorite detail is the full length red curtains in the dining area. Somehow that one detail gives the illusion that they have french doors there, and draws the eye outside instead of stopping at an oddly proportioned window. Very, very nice update!
Code regarding vent hoods is specific to the area, but we have every intention of installing a downdraft vent hood in the near future.
I've actually loved having the cabinets open. It's forced me to keep my dishes nice and tidy. We gained quite a bit of cabinet space when we purchased our house (compared to the house we lived in prior), so I wasn't upset about the loss of cabinet space by removing the half wall. We did lose 4 full cabinets and 2 half cabinets though.
As you noticed, there was a full sized doggy door right in the middle of the dining room!! We removed the door, put up new insulation and sheetrock, and then replaced the paneling on that portion of wall. We had extra brick that the previous owners had saved so repairing the outside of the wall wasn't an issue. But seriously, a doggy door in the dining room?!
I'll have to see if I can find the paint color of the brick. Per Sherry and John's suggestion, we used brick primer and paint and it worked beautifully. I'll search the garage for the color and get back on that one.
Wow! Such a huge impact on so little money! I love it!
lovely! the open cabinets look great–nice job arranging your things to make them look like decor instead of just storage! I also like the window treatment and the new light in the dining room, good choices for your space.
Wow, it looks amazing!! I think this is my favorite reader redesign yet!! What a difference, they did a fantastic job! Can't believe how far they stretched $1K! KUDOS!!!!!!!
The kitchen/dining rooms look fantastic.
Was there a doggie door in the dining room before picture? I've never seen anything like that.
Trista- Yes! There was! Wasn't it awful? As fellow dog lovers, we appreciated the sentiment, but a doggy door in the dining room was one of the worst things I had ever seen!
This is one of the best budget kitchen redos I've seen! It truly looks like a brand new place!!
I love how she was able to create a totally different look while keeping the cabinets and counters. It looks great!

Penn State football at Illinois – Penn State football easily stole a road game against Illinois 35-7, as the Illini turned the ball over three times in Champaign.
Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin completed 18 of 30 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown. Zach Zwinak added 19 carries for 100 yards and two scores on the ground for the Lions.
Illini passer Nathan Scheelhaase was able to net 270 yards, but he also threw two interceptions to Penn State defenders.
Also contributing to the Illinois loss was the team's eight penalties for 69 yards. Penn State football only recorded two penalties for 17 yards.
Penn State (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) will host the Northwestern Wildcats next Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Illinois football (2-3, 0-1 Big Ten) will travel to Camp Randall Stadium next Saturday to take on the Wisconsin Badgers.

Michael Rault is a little concerned.
As one of the participants in the Epcor Centre's annual Alberta Music Series, he's wondering what will happen when it's discovered that the singer-songwriter is in the midst of making a move from his hometown of Edmonton to the more music industry-heavy city of Toronto.
"I hope it doesn't disqualify me as an Alberta songwriter," Rault says with a laugh.
Well, we'll do our best to forgive him for forsaking the region for career purposes only because the musician is such a talent that we're going to want to claim his as our own when he makes it even bigger.
Rault's already made strides internationally with his wide-eyed, retro rock, greasers and socs-friendly, twist-the night-away tunes, which are featured on his latest release, MA-ME-O.
The album, which was released at the end of 2010 on Bedouin Soundclash's Pirates Blend Records label, has sparked interest from the United States and abroad, with Rault touring down south and overseas as frequently as he's crossed his own country.
And now that he's getting set to possibly make even greater strides with the digital release of his new EP, Whirlpool, it just made sense for him to give into his label, agent and manager urgings to relocate to somewhere.
"I had been putting off the move for a long time," Rault says from the centre of the universe, where he was actually showcasing at Canadian Music Week. "And not because I don't like it in Toronto, just because I knew it was going to be a little bit of a struggle to get my feet on the ground and get set up . . . in a new city and a big city with as much competition as there is in Toronto and the music scene.
"But eventually I just realized considering my entire business is based out of here it makes a lot of sense to be here actually working with them on ground zero."
Still, he's looking forward to one more opportunity to return to this neck of the woods for the Epcor event, which kicks off Wednesday night at runs through Saturday, and features some of the best this part of the world - or any part, for that matter - has to offer, including Ghostkeeper, Kris Ellestad, Eve Hell and the Razors, John Wort Hannam, the Soulicitors and Cowpuncher.
For his part, Rault considers it a pretty special thing to be included, once again, with such an incredible collection of talent.
"It's an honour to be chosen to be a representative for Alberta songwriting. There's a lot of good music that comes out of Alberta so it's nice to get sort of an official recognition from a big (showcase) like this," says Rault, who was asked to participate several years ago.
"When something like this gets put together it brings in a bunch of different people from a bunch of different corners of the Alberta music scene, and it's always fun to branch out and meet a bunch of new people and be hanging out with the top of the pops for the Alberta songwriting scene for this year, I guess."
And that diversity, he notes, makes it all the more interesting, with the four nights being split into different groups: Wednesday's FolkRoots session, which features the more traditional singer-songwriter acts; Thursday's PopRocks session, which Rault will participate in; Friday's Backbeat session, which features styles such as reggae, blues-rock and ska; and the Back burner session that ends the event on one stomper of a Saturday night.

I was recently invited to give a talk at a business conference designed to help high school seniors in our county who have an interest in pursuing a business career. Specifically, I was assigned two sessions to describe what the young person should expect as they make the transition into adult life, which was based in large part on my book "MORPHING INTO THE REAL WORLD – A Handbook for Entering the Work Force."
Advertisement-content continues below
I wore a suit and tie for the occasion to express my credibility and out of respect for my audience, even though none were older than eighteen years of age. This was going to be an unusual talk for me as I normally address adults, not youth. Because of this, I wanted to know a little about my audience. So, using a show of hands, I inquired where the students were from, such as their high schools, but I also flippantly asked how many were capitalists and, conversely, if there were any socialists present. I received a lot of blank stares on both accounts. This caused me to deviate from my planned program and deliver a mini-dissertation describing the differences. I contended that in order to be successful in business, the students would be wise to know what each meant.
Interestingly, some were brainwashed into believing capitalism was evil and simply represented another form of greed. I contend greed is a human emotion and can be equally applied under either system. Therefore, capitalism is not greed; it is a celebration of the individual's right to try and succeed. Whereas capitalism focuses on the rights of the individual, socialism concentrates on the rights of the group overall.
I explained that under capitalism, the individual has the right to try his/her hand at anything they are so inclined, thereby representing freedom. They simply have the right to try, nothing more, nothing less. If they are lucky, they may succeed; but they also run the risk of failure. Failure is an inherent and important part of the system. There are no guarantees for success. This is why risk is important, to force the individual to work harder and smarter to avoid defeat. As such, capitalism encourages entrepreneurship (innovation and invention). If the person is successful, they are entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labor. If they are not, they must suffer defeat. This should force the person to redouble his/her efforts and try again, which of course is evolution in action.
To encourage entrepreneurship, our founding fathers took steps to safeguard the intellectual property of the individual. This specifically includes Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, wherein the powers of Congress are defined. It states, in part: "The Congress shall have Power … To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;". This led to such institutions as the Patent and Copyright offices, which were specifically designed to safeguard an individual's intellectual property. As early as 1790, the first patent and copyright were approved. At the time, safeguarding intellectual property in this manner was rare to the rest of the world. By promoting the entrepreneurial rights of the individual, our forefathers were embracing capitalism.

As mentioned, the focus in Socialism in on the group, not the individual. Here, the rights of the many take precedence over the individual. Because of this, personal initiative is discouraged, the individual cannot endeavor to do better than the next person, and failure is prohibited; the group will always bail you out. There is no notion of assuming risk and being held personally accountable for your actions. All compensation is equitable among workers with no rewards for outstanding achievement or penalties for inferior workmanship. Intellectual property belongs to the group, not the individual. Consequently, this approach discourages entrepreneurship and tends to promote apathy.
The Achilles' heel of Socialism is the belief that everyone is equal and, as such, should be treated and compensated on an equitable basis. On the surface, this sounds like a fair and noble notion. The assumption though is that everyone works at the same level of effort and expertise which, of course, is simply not so. Restraining the individual from achieving higher levels of workmanship or striving for higher goals is unnatural and discourages the worker.

A spigot pours fountain water into a thick-edged tier which divides into two water streams which empty into a footed jar reservoir.
This delightful fountain would be perfect in a garden setting or on an outdoor patio. From Henri Studio, it features the cast stone, artisan construction techniques perfected by company founder Eneri Prosperi. This design has a tall column with water spout. Water falls from the spout into a collection basin, then flows into the central basin below. The cast stone finish recreates weaterhed Italian stone. Each fountain is made to order, so allow extra time for delivery. Since each is custom made, there may be slight finish variations. Please note that this fountain ships for free, but because of its size and weight it may require freight curbside delivery.

There was an excellent article by Steve Everly in the Kansas City Star on Saturday May 24, 2014 about the I-70 and Twin Drive-In theaters. The article starts on the front page and continues on A12. It talks about B&B Theaters taking over the operation of the drive-ins, and that the switch to digital projection has been completed. Movie screens were repainted, and restrooms and the concession stand were upgraded. The seasonal grand opening was May 23.
UltraStar Cinemas took over management from SR Entertainment sometime in 2011, of both the Mary Pickford 14 and the Desert IMAX across the parking lot. Information is at their official website: ultrastarmovies.com
It appears this theater is now closed, as Mr. Neff mentioned earlier. Does anyone know if it has been demolished or is being used for another purpose now?
It appears Regency is operating this as a second-run theater now.
This theater is actually located just north of the old White Lakes mall, across the street from the former Sears. It opened in 1967 as an 850-seat single screen operated by National General. It was referred to as the Fox White Lakes because of its proximity to the mall, and because the mall owned the property. Mann took over operation of the theater shortly afterward. General Cinema opened their Boulevard Cinema I and II in 1974 just up the street, so in the fall of 1977 Mann closed the Fox in order to split the theater into a twin of 425 and 396 seats. It reopened in December 1977 showing 'The Gauntlet' and 'Telefon'. Dickinson Theatres took over operation of the theater from Mann in 1980. In 1983 Dickinson wanted the mall owner to add two screens so they could stay competitive with the General Cinema theater, which had just split their twin into a three-plex. The mall was unable to finance the expansion, so Dickinson bought the property from the mall and built the addition themselves. These two new screens on the east end opened on August 17, 1984 seating 296 each. The first two movies in the new auditoriums were 'The Woman in Red' and 'Sheena,' and were the first in Topeka to feature Dolby Stereo surround sound! Crown Cinema bought the Dickinson theaters in Topeka shortly after Crown opened their new theaters at West Ridge Mall in 1987. At some point after Hollywood theaters took over from Crown around 1999, they closed the Gage 4, which had become a discount theater, and turned the Fox into a second-run theater. I believe the Fox was closed in 2004. There is a listing on loopnet with another good view of the theater looking northeast. At this time, the listing says the building is off-market. The abandoned mall and boarded up theater are among several buildings contributing to the general blight in the south Topeka area today.

text: To you guys at wire 2 fish. I like the the way you put on this page on some of the things you need to know about bass fishing. Some guys who have never fish for bass don't know where to start, and it can be quite confusing. Some of them want to go out and catch that big one, but get frustrated when they don't. So my hat off to you guys and let's make it fun for young and those who have never fished in their life. To all of you out their good luck fishing.

Insider knowledge: Jefferson's Bourbon whiskey is named whiskey by virtue of the fact it's from America. If distilled in Scotland the spelling would be Jefferson's Bourbon whisky, as opposed to whiskey.
Nose: Very crisp and fresh on the nose, lots of creamy vanilla and warm, spicy flavour. Notes of oak, toffee, hints of smoke.
Palate: Soft, warming and supple. Notes of sweet vanilla, spices, toffee, berry fruits, a touch of orange zest, spices and honey.
Finish: Soft and easy-going, very quaffable as it fades out on notes of vanilla sweetness, custard and corn.
Very smooth and flavorful. A must have for the bourbon drinker
24th October 2014
My friend,you must have eaten garlic before hitting Jefferson as it's far better than BT or WT (unless it's the 101 we're talking about).It is actually unbelievable for its price.If you find it rough, try to open it with a little bit of water but unpalatable? You might be looking for Jim Beam then and loads of sugar.
25th September 2014
Im no expert , but I know what I like . Jeffersons is way too good for mixin, sip or neat only. My wife and I both love it , catch it on sale and stock up. Sorry Nick , Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace dont compete on this level . Its a fine smooth delicious drink , a poor mans Pappy.
1st August 2014
I must of had a bad bottle, I found it rough and unpalatable, I will stick to wild Turkey or buffalo trace and at a push jack d all three are far superior to Jeffersons small batch
29th June 2014
I keep it in stock now
12th June 2014
Im on my 3rd bottle me and the wife love it smoother than jack and jim beam nice drink
30th May 2014
As someone who drinks Whiskey almost exclusively straight, I'm embarrassed to say that I enjoyed this immensely in a hot toddy lately. However, the bourbon can stand up on its own, if only for someone who enjoys a bourbon that is more woody, and has less deep corniness.
Nose: Wood, Anise, Spice Cake, All Spice, Peach, Apricot
Palate: Not as spicy as the nose, Peach, Apricot, Corn, Creme Anglaise
Finish: Woody, mossy, almost green, heavy in the nose
Overall, something to definitely have around, but the complexity, in all honesty, is lacking. Easy, simple whiskey. For the price range, even on the higher end, however, if you're willing to shell out a little more, you're bound to find something a bit more bold.
5th October 2013
The woodiness rather overpowers most other flavours. My palette veers towards the sweeter bourbons and in that regard this compares unfavourably with the Blantons I had previously. Glad I tried it, and am looking forward to trying it in an old fashioned, but will not be repurchasing
26th February 2012
Smells gorgeous. If I could get an air freshener that smelt like this I would fill my house with them. The taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma however. It is very nice with vanilla and orange flavoured sweets and a finish that I could only describe as a light peanut oil. For the price it is great but there are better, smoother drams out there if you are prepared to dip deeper into your pocket. Definitely worth at least a try though, maybe two!

Shoo away summer skin woes with useful tips
The rising temperature brings skin and hair problmes like rashes, acne, tanning, skin and scalp infection and splitends. From exfoliating to avoiding chemicals, experts dole out various tips to protect skin and tresses during summer.
Sangeeta Amladi, head, medical services at Kaya Skin Clinic, recommends tips for a carefree and skin friendly summer:
* Screen the sun: Small exposures to sun are beneficial for the skin and essential for production of vitamin D. However, prolonged exposure to solar UV radiation may have a hazardous impact on the skin. Not all sunscreens are made alike, so SPF (Sun protection factor) 30 is best recommended for Indian skin types. Apply sun screen 20 to 30 minutes before stepping out and ensure you wear sunscreen every day, even when you stay indoors.
* Follow the essential routine: From dry air-conditioned homes to walks in the steamy and sweaty weather outside, one needs to pay special attention to summer skincare. Follow the cleansing, toning and moisturising ritual twice a day for best results.
* Exfoliate: Incorporating exfoliation into your skin care regime is a must to avoid dull skin! Exfoliants remove old, dry, dead skin cells, toxins and other deposits and allow new skin cells to surface. Scrub your elbows and knees at least twice a week to get rid of dead tissues. Rub a slice of lemon with sugar every alternate day to keep them clean and to remove tan.
* Hair Woes: Since hair tends to be moisture-deprived during summers, overuse of any kind of chemical and hair styling tool should be avoided. Shampooing often results in loss of shine and moisture. Consider switching to a gentle shampoo and use a deep conditioner to replenish the loss of moisture. Massage your hair with a mixture of coconut oil, castor and olive oil regularly to keep your hair nourished. And if you are one of them who are open to homemade remedies, whisk 2 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and apply this mask on the bottom 2/3rds of your hair. Wash off after 15 minutes.
* Happy Feet: During summers our feet become the target of a variety of potential foot maladies including eczema, fungal infections, and socially embarrassing "smelly feet". Start with wearing an open sandal in the summer to keep your feet dry and give them a chance to "breathe". Your feet are subject to sunburn just like the rest of your body. Use sunscreen during the day and during the evenings apply a lightweight moisturizer.
A foot powder is a must as it helps to soak up excessive moisture that can breed fungi and bacteria. Head for a pedicure once every week. This will keep your foot clean. Trim your toe nails to avoid dirt and dust from accumulating under your toe nails.
* Maintain a healthy diet: Make fruits your best friends this summer. With summers in full swing, it is advised that apart from drinking lots of water, a special summer diet consisting of light and healthy food would ensure a cool mind and body. To keep your skin hydrated, eat lot of fresh fruits and green vegetables. Include fruits and vegetables like bitter gourd, spinach, cucumber, watermelons, oranges, cherries, plums and lychee to your diet. They are highly nutritious with an abundant supply of fiber, vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals.

Maybe California can secede from the USA and sell itself back to Mexico, which would assume the obligations already incurred. Of course, the USA could block that move, which we would undoubtedly do--that is, unless they agreed to take Pelosi and Boxer in the deal. If Mexico agreed to take those two, then I would agree to let them go.

He lives with her and says for sure, that's where he wants to be.
A lovely wife, who hides her strife, how attractive; Not to me.
Though she did stray, he chose to stay, defending love unkind.
He claims success, when it's a mess; A delusion of the mind.
He comes to me for I am free, my mind and soul complete.
I do not reflect; I have self respect and can't settle for defeat.
It's hard to say why he won't stay, perhaps I'm just to real.
He can't fool me, for I can see beyond ones fake appeal.
He will not leave though, she'll deceive and hide behind her fear.
It's way too late to close that gate; He would rather die than veer.
There was a time it crossed my mind, he'd choose this maiden fair.
This is me, miss reality, and he's not going anywhere.
Although I know that time will show, mistakes burn deep, ask me?
For I've been there without passions flare, and I lived in misery.
At least I know I'm not a show, but it seems that's what they crave.
A challenge, please! I'll never tease and you can mark that on my grave!

The Kill Artist
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From worldwide bestselling author Daniel Silva, praised by Newsday for "bringing new life to the international thriller," The Kill Artist is a taut and elegantly structured novel about a reluctant hero and his mission to destroy an old enemy and preserve international peace.
Gabriel Allon had a simple but brutal job: he tracked down and eliminated Israel's terrorist enemies. But when his wife and son fell victim to the danger that accompanied him everywhere, Gabriel quit and devoted himself to the work of art restoration, an occupation that had previously been a cover for his secret assignments. Now Ari Shamron, the head of Israeli intelligence, needs Gabriel's particular kind of experience to thwart a Palestinian plot to destroy the peace negotiations in the Middle East. The architect of this plot, a Palestinian zealot named Tariq, is a lethal part of Gabriel's past, so as the two begin an intercontinental game of hide-and-seek, with life and death as the prizes, the motives are as personal as they are political. The story features a vivid and fascinating supporting cast, including the magus-like Ari Shamron, a beautiful French Jewish model who is seeking retribution for her family's death in the Holocaust, and a marvelously comic down-at-the-heels London art dealer. Set these colorful and varied characters against a brilliant background of political intrigue and vengeance at the highest levels and a manhunt that covers three continents, and the result is a smart and electrically exciting global thriller.
About the Author
Daniel Silva's first three novels--The Unlikely Spy, The Mark of the Assassin, and The Marching Season--were all national bestsellers and have been translated into more than twenty languages. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, NBC Today show correspondent Jamie Gangel, and their two children.

Guerrilla Artfare Collective is an up and coming non-profit that stages art parties. They will come to your venue, invite artists, come with supplies and create art. The art will later be sold on Ebay.com and the profits will be used to buy more art supplies.
Currently Guerrilla Artfare has staged artfare events at a few house parties, and now are in process of completing their first charity art donation.
The Guerrilla Artfare artists have been meeting at Munchies Coffee Shop in Suisun City and folding 1000 origami paper cranes. Vice-President Marilyn Koch personally custom cut the 1000 pieces of paper. They are then making these cranes into a mobile and donating it to the Shriners Children's Hospital in Sacramento.
Why a 1000 paper cranes? It is based on an ancient Japanese legend that says if you make a 1000 paper cranes, your wish will come true, "such as long life, or recovery from illness or injury". What better symbol to give a children's hospital?
Guerrilla Artfare is run by President, Nick Iriarte and Vice President, Marilyn Koch. To contact them visit their website GuerrillaArtfare.org. Also connect with Guerrilla Artfare on Twitter, @guerrillaart and MySpace.
By the way, Nick Iriarte is my son!

It is so wonderful that you want to do something nice for the children. I myself benefited from Shiners Hospital as a child when they were still in SF. That being said, I have lots of ideas of things the kids would appreciate if you ever need more ideas.

"President Obama is not asking America to go to war," Kerry said, noting the debate was not about Obama's red line but that of Congress and the world. On Saturday, Obama said he felt American should use military force in Syria, but said he would first seek congressional approval. Kerry said Obama did not intend to put "boots on the ground" in Syria, but later testified that he did not want to take that option off the table in case chemical weapons stashes needed to be secure.

Downton Abbey Review: House Partyby Carissa Pavlica at . Updated at . Comments
The Crawleys throw a house party on Downton Abbey Season 4 Episode 2, but there wasn't a greal deal of merriment when all is said and done.
Frankly, by the time the episode ended, it was difficult to think of much other than Anna.
I didn't catch exactly why there was a party, nor how the guest list was put together. It was rather surprising that Lady Edith was allowed to invite her married cohort, Mr. Gregson. As they keep reminding viewers (literally, they say it -- a lot), things have changed since the war.
Edith had Gregson as a guest; a chap who grew up with the ladies was invited, Anthony Foley -- now Lord Gillingham -- who was chatting up Mary, making her wish for a) Matthew or b) the Mary who kicked sand in the face of life on a regular basis before her heart was softened by her love for Matthew; and Dame Nellie Melba was going to be singing for the guests.
Dame Nellie's arrival (after the war) meant that all of the household staff -- kitchen included! -- would also be able to enjoy the festivities. Imagine that.
As much as things have changed since the war, it's still bloody difficult to understand who everyone is when they start with that tricky, posh naming convention wherein the staff takes the name of their (I don't know what you call them, really) master and then people like Lord Gillingham's valet, Mr. Green, is sometimes also referred to as Gillingham. That happened in the Highlands on Downton Abbey Season 3 and I was equally as confused.
Tom Branson made the mistake of calling a Duchess "Your Grace," which outside of that particular situation would have been proper, but at the party was incorrect. By the end of the social engagement, he felt so out of sorts he had confided in Edna Braithwaite and she may have slipped into his room after the festivities. Poor Tom. He told Robert he felt as if he had let everyone down and didn't belong. You and me both, Tom.
Mary and Isobel were both struggling with what must have been the first big social situation for the both since Matthew's death. We missed out on six months of their lives, but given their behavior, that's the only logical conclusion. By the end of the evening Isobel was in far better spirits, and Mary? We'll have to wait and see, but it appears she'll be seeing a bit more of Gillingham. She (literally) got back up on that horse.
Edith's Gregson managed to win the favor, however so slight, of Robert by evening's end by winning back his poker losses to a card sharp named Sampson who could have been cheating. The whole card playing scenario was a bit confusing, what they were betting and losing and what the IOUs consisted of -- whether money or something else. In any event, he'll not be persona non grata any longer. Maybe he'll just be a bit of a nuisance.
With all of the visiting servants, it was a jolly mood both downstairs as well as upstairs. Everyone was playing a raucous game of cards downstairs and Mrs. Patmore had a bit of a panic attack. Daisy took it to be a heart attack, but thankfully Dr. Clarkson was on hand to ensure she was alright.
Because Green had earlier flirted with Anna, I think Bates was a bit put out that Anna was so enjoying the game of cards that he had thrown together. While they were all laughing and enjoying themselves (the nerve!), Mrs. Patmore was falling ill and Bates was very angry; something he took out on Anna. It was a bit embarrassing and unnecessary, the way Bates spoke to Anna. After everything she's been through with him, he should know by now that she has eyes for no other man.
It was only a short while later when the entire household was gathered around listening to Dame Nellie sing that Anna fell ill. While she went to get a cure for her headache, she was confronted by Green and brutally raped. There's no need to go into details here, because you watched it.
There was an irony to the situation, in that Bates and everyone else were upstairs, enjoying themselves with the noise and merriment -- Bates even took a moment to note to Mrs. Hughes that Anna must have fallen asleep downstairs -- while Anna was screaming for help, going unheard.
It was almost a mirror for the Mrs. Patmore incident that Bates had earlier chastised Anna. Instead of enjoying himself, he should have been looking after his wife. If at that second when he wondered if she had fallen asleep he had gone to find her, things could have turned out differently.
I'm not blaming the incident on Bates. I'm not even saying that he could have stopped it. I'm merely pointing out how incredibly eerie it was that those two things happened under such similar circumstances.
Anna made her decision to keep what happened from anyone but Mrs. Hughes, and her reasoning is sound, even after the war. In Downton a woman may have had a better chance of being taken seriously, but given Cora's willingness to believe someone like Edna Braithwaite over Mrs. Hughes, the upstairs folks don't always see things clearly.
While Bates is a convicted felon and could be held accountable for whatever he chose to do to Green, I'd like to think after what he's been through he might think first and act second. He did tell Anna he learned quite a bit in prison. Then again, his anger at her could be part of the reason she had a headache, because she felt as if she let him down. Neither one of them were thinking clearly by the end of the night.
This development wasn't covered up very well on the Internet, and I knew it was on the way. The part that shocked me the most was how it happened so closely after Mrs. Patmore's panic attack was almost overlooked during a gleeful celebration. There is a lesson to be learned in that, but I don't know what it is.
Anna's flimsy excuse about falling down and spilling wine was obviously a cover-up. The likelihood is their marriage will suffer another tremendous blow for a good portion of the remainder of the season. If Lord Gillingham is going to be courting Mary, it may come to a head the next time valet Green makes an appearance. Anna could barely hold it together while the creep made his goodbyes. How will she manage the next time he says hello?
I don't know how realistic the amount of heartbreak that occurs at Downton is to the times, but I have to wonder why such travesties are chosen for stories over other types of drama. There have been four deaths of note, William, Lavinia, Sybil and Matthew, the murder of Vera Bates, and the felony conviction of John Bates. Matthew was paralyzed in the war prior to his death. Thomas was beaten silly and Anna was raped.
I realize this is a soap opera, but there is so much to explore with the historical aspect, that I wonder if perhaps keeping the setting as a upstairs/downstairs scenario is curtailing what could be an otherwise larger story to draw upon.
Do you think Anna should have told Bates what happened?

We watched D Abbey as a family. We will never watch it again.
I liked this episode of DA. Felt like the first season, which also had a house party and equal amounts of comedy and drama. O'Brien and Thomas were particularly vicious in Season 1. So, I can't understand why so many people are "offended" at Anna's rape. Really? Why? Is rape only something that's supposed to happen in London, in the poorer parts of town? Or do people just think DA portrays dreamy world of parasols and butlers? I'm pretty sure servants were raped on grand English estates, especially female servants. Yes, it's was ugly. But, we don't want DA to become a boring, stodgy series where we just watch the staff plate meals and do a lady's hair, do we?
After all the tragedies in this show I am fed up. I do not intend to watch Downton Abbey ever again.
After all of the tragedies I have am totally offended by the plot; especially Anna's rape sequence. I don't intend to watch this show ever again.
I was glad, in a small way, to see Cora finally step up and take charge of a situation for once, instead of smiling indulgently at everyone. "(Dame Nelly) will be next to you at dinner, and you will like it." OK, so it wasn't a "high drama" situation, but maybe it's a sign of things to come. As for the reviewer's confusion about naming conventions, that's how things were done--writers of the original "Upstairs Downstairs" and "Gosford Park" (which was written by Julian Fellowes, the writer for DA) made careful use of this convention. Below stairs, the servants of the visitors were called by their "masters" last names. It's really only upstairs where it might get confusing.
If you think about it, Mrs. Hughes needs to know who the rapist is because it is unsafe to have someone like that sleeping in the house. None of her girls would be safe and since she is in charge along with Carson, they need to kick out the perpetrator!
I am really mad at the writers for adding this to the story line.
it totally ruined a nice evening viewing with the house party atmosphere.
Mrs. Hughes saw the rapist return to the performance, so it will be interesting to see hopefully how she pieces it together. Bates will piece it together when he sees Anna's injuries, so the healing process can begin for her.
I don't read spoilers, so I did NOT see that coming! Wow, it shook me up. She should have told Bates, or at the very least allowed Dr. Clarkson to check her out. Definitely Mr. Carson should know. He would know best how to deal with the situation. Tom Branson needs to stay FAR FAR away from that conniving maid!
Edna Braithwaite is the ONLY part of this season I don't like. Tom is letting his loneliness get to him. I think Sybil's family has done all they can to make him feel welcome and involved in the estate. He needs to stop making so many comparisons, and get a sense of humor about all the silly rules & customs.
I'd like to see Fellowes write in a twist here. We saw the maid sneak into a bedroom and we're assuming it's Tom's, but……suppose it's not? Or suppose Tom is wise to her and he's sitting in a chair, wide awake, fully dressed, the whiskey undrunk, and he turns her out? Or suppose Carson's in the room ready to catch her in the act? Oh I know…a little far-fetched since Tom's a lonely man who's been handed an alcoholic beverage, but it was only a passing thought.
The rape of Anna never should have happened. Why put that into the story line. Why? Also, all of Mrs. Hughes brilliant handling of the maid after Tom situation from last year just went down the drain with this ridiculous new story line about this maid. Why can we not have a nice weekend at Downton without nastiness. These writers need to get their heads checked.
Because that's life. Women get raped for no reason at all. Married women. Single women. Young, old, rich, poor...that's the point. There is NO logical reason for rape. It's violent. It's a crime. It's a brutal invasion of a woman's safety and security. Yet it happens for NO GOOD REASON. I think people are upset because mentally they still equate happy endings w/"goodness" and unhappy developments w/"badness." Life isn't that black & white, cut and dry. Bad things happen to good people, and DA has shown that in all its 4 seasons.

Where Can I Get Custom-Sized Baskets or Boxes?
Good Questions
Q: Our house had a silly little half wall separating the entry from the living room. It was constantly covered with clutter and was a waste of space. So one day my husband and I had the genius idea to rip it out and replace it with floor to ceiling shelves. They look fantastic (or at least they will after we get around to painting them).
The problem is, now we have four times as much space to clutter up with random stuff. We need baskets, or boxes, or something! But we designed and built it without a thought as to how to find containers that fit without a lot of wasted space, either horizontal or vertical. We are searching for a company that makes custom-sized baskets or storage containers that will look good enough to be out in the living room. Or is there a way to DIY this?

You could make wood boxes and paint them fun colors. If you want baskets, there are lots of DIY tutorials on Pinterest for fabric, woven and glued rope baskets.
I love your shelf, btw. I think I'd do a light stain rather than paint. The laminated vertical support looks cool.
No need to worry about "wasted space" if your main purpose was to make a more decorative element. You can use the shelves for books, interesting pottery, big fat candles, baskets, and other pleasant objects. For storage, you can put large covered square baskets (which other commenters will find for you!) on the lowest shelf or two, and then use the other shelves for decorative objects.
But please don't fill up the shelves too hastily just to have them filled. As with putting art on the walls, it's better to leave them bare and take your time choosing objects that really speak to you.
You can make fabric baskets if you're crafty -- both sewn ones and fabric-covered cardboard ones. A Google search will uncover many tutorials.
It is a really good idea for the first impression when a person enters the house. There are many sets of instructions for containers (in fact I think AT has posted a group of these very recently). If you lack diy confidence or just want to collect a diversity of containers, you could also shop Etsy for interesting items and then order your containers custom over time. If you restrict the containers to the top and the bottom, you'll still have the open space to silhouette interesting shapes and see through the middle.
Also I'm with Jeoffry on not filling your new divider up.
Designate one or two cubbies for your landing strip. Then keep the rest of the cubbies nicely curated.
For instance, you might make a simple pedestal for the fish, perhaps even put a couple of good-looking books under it. And you might prop up the instrument on its side on a stand or pedestal.
I'll have to see if my husband is on board for something like this - we currently have the silly little half wall topped with thick vertical wooden dowels spaced 4" apart from each other. Shelves like this would make it possible to display some of our little treasures and still have light go through.
I would keep a number of them empty, then fill the rest with nice boxes and large vases and other large scale decorative items. too many small items look cluttery
Agree with the others, you don't really need boxes or baskets except maybe to corral small clutter. But I don't think you really want to fill the spaces exactly because then you might as well have built a wall. Unless this is part of a bedroom, the empty space allows light and airflow. That is desirable.
I agree with mdorothy. Unless you desperately need the storage, I would fill the bottom row with baskets to give the wall some weight. Above that, I would keep it more open with curated objects and maybe smaller baskets that look good from both sides.
Check the Container Store for ready-made boxes that might fit your piece. They might have something that will save you the trouble and expense of getting something custom made.
I'm a home sewer and would make a few boxes for a couple of the spaces, then fill the rest with decorative pieces. If you are not crafty, you can certainly find someone on Etsy to make boxes (canvas, woven or wood) for you.
DIY? Basket-weaving is a lot easier than you might think. As long as you have a place that can get wet...and summer's coming. There are many tutorials online.
My mother-in-law gets her supplies here...partly because she can order from the online catalog and have me pick it up for her at lunchtime. ;)
That said, take a look at any of the big craft stores -- you can probably find a few matched baskets that fit. I'd give each person in the family a keys-and-wallet basket, and let the rest be more open.
Wish I had a space like that to set up a chess board...
oh and if you're sold on boxes, take measurements and shop around. Pier one world market target etc all have tons of those. no need for custom probably
And why I didn't think of it before I submitted the comment -- at one point my Mom had a pretty, sturdy mixing bowl at the backdoor for keys. (Fiestaware, it might have been one of the colors retired because of unsafe dyes....or maybe it was just too big for her new stand mixer!)
A container store should have a variety of plastic-ware boxes that will fit in your assorted spaces. Then you can wrap the boxes in fabric---just like wrapping a gift box---except you will you wrap over the top and down the insides---folding and hand pressing the material. Cut a flat piece to fit the bottom, and come up an inch or so on the sides, and lap over it with the bigger piece of material. I use a fabric glue, and only glue on the inside of the box, and a few dots on the bottom. Let the glue dry well at each stage. Don't rush it. Striped/plaid fabric looks terrific, but florals are more forgiving. Solids---easy peasy. You can also use a stripe or plaid on the diagonal, which looks interesting, too.
I measure and cut on a wrapping paper pattern first, to get a perfect fit. You can change, update the fabric at any time. Add a jolt of color, et cetera. Best of all, you can buy beautiful, expensive remnants of fabric for a pittance.
You don't really have to have baskets. Consider those fancy decorated cardboard boxes they sell at places like Michaels. An assortment attractively displayed would look nice. It's what I do to hold paperbacks on my bookshelves.
Looks nice as it is. I'd only close off the bottom three squares and perhaps that middle space. For the bottom three it's work checking out IKEA etc online just in case you're lucky but the higher one could be custom made – perhaps even with push-me-pull- you drawers.
Try the Basket Lady: http://www.basketlady.com/. She doesn't do custom baskets, but she has lots of sizes -- and a nifty tool to figure out the right basket for your space. I've ordered for some odd sized shelves and was very happy with the results.
Paint it and leave it empty!!!!!!!!

We're the army of ordinary heroes, brought together by the King of all Kings.
Gauntlet runners who never back down,
From whatever this world brings.
'Cause we know who we fight for, and that's all we need!
We're not invincible, my brothers and sisters, it's true.
But if you stand by me, we'll stand by our God,
And He can make mountains move!
