Ghana takes delivery of second C-295; to receive Mi-17 helicopters
Written by defenceWeb, Wednesday, 16 May 2012
Ghana's second C295 was seen landing in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands on April 24, and arrived in Ghana the following day. It is based in the capital Accra while the first is based in Tamale.
In the future, Ghana plans to base two C-295s in each city as part of their long-term vision for an expanded fleet, but as it currently stands, Ghana has only ordered two C295s, according to Airbus.
Ghana's Vice President John Dramani Mahama inaugurated the new aircraft at the Accra Air Force Base on Monday, reports Ghana's Daily Graphic. "The CASA C295 aircraft, with its famed robustness, will, therefore, come in handy to undertake tasks across a large spectrum of air operations, from the low to the high ends; that is, from combat support to humanitarian roles," he said.
Ghana's defence minister Lieutenant General Joseph Henry Smith said the aircraft had arrived at the right time to help improve Ghana's socio-economic development and further the country's agenda.
Mahama, during the C295 commissioning, said that the government would deliver four new aircraft to the Ghana Air Force by the end of July this year. "Probably in the next few months, hopefully by July, [we] should take delivery of another four Mi-17 helicopters. The Army has received some armoured personnel carriers and trucks and government is in the process of securing more APC's and armoured personnel carriers and tanks for the army," Mahama said.
At present Ghana's air force only has four Mi-171V helicopters, one AB-212, two A109As and two SA319 Alouette IIIs in service, according to the IISS's The Military Balance 2012.
On November 18 last year Airbus Military announced the delivery of the first C295. Rafael Tentor, Airbus Military Head of Programmes, said that, "We are very proud to add the Ghana Air Force to our family of C295 operators. The C295, which has proven the best solution for medium sized transport, will allow missions in remote and difficult to access areas. We look forward to the entry into service of this versatile aircraft in the Ghana Air Force."
Ghana was originally interested in acquiring the C-27J Spartan from Alenia Aeronautica and requested four C-27Js in September 2009, but this was never followed through. The contract for the two C295s was announced on August 4, 2011.
Smith earlier said the C295 would enable the Air Force to move troops and other security agencies across the country and within the West African sub-region. The aircraft will also be used for medical evacuation, paratrooping, training and humanitarian operations, including assistance to organizations such as National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the peace mission of the United Nations.
In August last year Ghana also ordered an Embraer 190 jet and two Diamond DA 42 surveillance aircraft. The acquisition of the Embraer 190 from Brazil, together with logistic support and the construction of a hangar, will cost the West African nation about US$105.3 million.
The Diamond DA 42 MPP (Multi-Purpose Platform) Guardian surveillance and training aircraft, fitted with a sensor turret for surveillance missions, are being funded through a €11.750 million loan from the Fidelity Bank Ghana Limited. The aircraft were spotted in the United Kingdom last month and are believed to have been recently delivered to Takoradi Air Force Base.
Plans for Ghana's recent acquisitions were revealed in December 2009 when Mahama indicated that re-equipment was an increasingly important priority, with plans for four turboprop transports and six Diamond DA42MPPs.
The DA 42s will be used for maritime patrol, especially safeguarding Ghana's offshore oil assets - the country becoming a major oil producer in the region after beginning production in December 2010. The Gulf of Guinea has seen a dramatic increase in the number of attacks on ships this year, prompting Ghana to modernise its navy. In addition to new aircraft, Mahama said Ghana's Navy has received five new vessels, with two more expected before the end of the year from Germany.
Ghana has a very small air force, with around 2000 personnel. According to The Military Balance 2011, it has nine transport aircraft, including one Britten-Norman BN-2 Defender, three Cessna 172s, four Fokker F-27 Friendships and one Fokker F-28 Fellowship. The latter is used for VIP transport, which is one of the air force's main duties.
In the way of combat aircraft, Ghana's air force only has three single seat Aermacchi MB-326K ground attack aircraft. It also has two MB-339, two L-39ZO and four Hongdu K-8 Karakorum trainers.
The C295 is a twin turboprop multirole transport aircraft manufactured by Airbus Military in Spain. It is capable of accommodating 71 troops, 50 paratroops or five standard cargo pallets (payload is 9 200 kg).

Sometimes its refreshing for people to just be mean when they feel mean instead of the eye rolling and round about critiscism of your average health savvy barista of my home. But damn, everybody is in a bad mood in Jersey City. the kindness of strangers is as mythical to this region as an uncongested highway. Can i just hear a sigh and drawn out "excuuuuse meeee" instead of the daily "fuck off faggot" I am greeted with on public transportation. Oh this empty venting.

Well, now that I voted for XCode I wish I had made FileVault my choice. I was thinking how impressive it is that Apple makes its professional level development tools available to anyone able to buy a Mac (thinking here of all the college students). But the number able to take them up on the offer seems to be rather small. It may be free but it costs more than a little effort.

Today is the last day to vote! Do you want the Americans with Disabilities Act to be displayed first in the new "Records of Rights" gallery?
At the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (known as the ADA) on July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush said,
"Three weeks ago we celebrated our nation's Independence Day. Today we're here to rejoice in and celebrate another 'Independence Day,' one that is long overdue. With today's signing of the landmark Americans for Disabilities Act, every man, woman and child with a disability can now pass through once-closed doors into a bright new era of equality, independence and freedom."
The vote closes at midnight tonight: vote now!

With him on the South Lawn of the White House are (from left to right, sitting) Evan Kemp, Chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Justin Dart, Chairman of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities; and (left to right, standing) Rev.

"…it is essential that there be maintained in the armed services of the United States the highest standards of democracy, with equality of treatment and opportunity for all those who serve in our country's defense.."
Executive Order 9981, July 26, 1948, in which President Harry S. Truman bans the segregation of the Armed Forces
As one of several actions taken to meet the recommendations of the President's Commission on Civil Rights, President Harry S. Truman issued an executive order on July 26, 1948, abolishing segregation in the armed forces and ordering full integration of all the services. Executive Order 9981 stated that "there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed forces without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." The order also established an advisory committee to examine the rules, practices, and procedures of the armed services and recommend ways to make desegregation a reality. There was considerable resistance to the executive order from the military, but by the end of the Korean conflict, almost all the military was integrated.

This helmet does not have headphones included. However, the ear flaps have pockets in them where you can drop your favorite headphones in. Hope this helps.
I'm 5'5" 145 and ski pretty aggresively. the 182 works for me. Depending on your weight, i think you could go either way. the 191 might be more of a pow ski, while the 182 might be fun for you to throw around in bumps, the park, crud, etc.
I've skied the Gotama about 15 times and the Shogun all of last year, about 100 days. The Shogun is just more fun. The bamboo makes it super snappy and the tip rocker makes it perform like a fat ski in the deep stuff. It will also be a lot more similar to your public enemies in overall feel, just a little fatter and a lot cooler. If you have been skiing a pair of public enemies for three years in light colorado snow, you'll be stoked with the added width and float.
I agree with jj. I used the Shogun as a single ski quiver last year and it performed better than I could have hoped for. Great float in the pow, but still super agile for groomers and a few park laps.
I like the concept, the construction and the product. Works well in the bed of my nissan frontier. However, putting them in was a little bit of a pain, lining up bolts and such. The manual said to use 5/16 bolts, turns out they are more like 9/32. I just drilled the holes in the bracket out a little. Also, loc-tite or a lock washer is definitely recommended as the bolts will loosen up over time.
All in all, it's good, cheap and reasonably secure.

Steampunk!: An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Storiesby Kelly Link
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Chockful of gear-driven automatons, looming dirigibles, and wildly implausible time machines . . . should please steampunks of all ages." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Imagine an alternate universe where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Visionaries Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant have taken a genre already rich, strange, and inventive and challenged fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, to embrace its established themes and refashion them in surprising ways and settings. The result is an anthology that defies its genre even as it defines it.
About the Author
Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant are firm believers in the do-it-yourself ethos that powers the steampunk movement. They started a zine, founded an independent publishing house, own two letterpresses, and edited the fantasy half of THE YEAR'S BEST FANTASY & HORROR for five years. They live in western Massachusetts.

Kids Harmed When Parents Fight
Feb. 9, 2006 -- Unsettled fights between parents impair children's emotional development, new studies show.
Mom and Dad may shout till they're red in the face. They may stew in stony silence. Whether their unresolved conflict results in hostility or indifference to one another, it takes its toll on their children, find University of Notre Dame psychologist E. Mark Cummings, PhD, and colleagues.
Psychologists have long known that a strong child-parent bond is the key to kids' mental health and social adjustment. The new research suggests that it's just as important for children to feel secure about their parents' relationship with each other.
"What we show is that children's emotional security is affected by the relationship between the parents -- not just the child's relationship to the parent," Cummings tells WebMD.
Cummings' and colleagues report their findings in the January/February issue of Child Development.
Children Affected at All Ages
Cummings, study co-leader Patrick T. Davies, PhD, of the University of Rochester, N.Y., and colleagues actually did three new studies. They first looked at 226 children (9 to 18 years old) and their parents, evaluated three years apart. They then repeated the study with 232 kindergarten-aged kids.
The researchers evaluated the parents' marital functioning and quality, conflict tactics, and their ratings of their children's adjustment. They also evaluated the children for depression and asked them, privately, about how their parents got along.
Finally, they followed 223 6-year-olds and their parents over the course of a year. They looked at how parents worked out their disagreements and measured the children's distress reactions and negative thoughts. In each study the researchers accounted for kids' individual adjustment and other factors, allowing them to see what changes in the children were directly linked to parental conflict.
What they found was that parental conflict wasn't a problem if the parents resolved their differences. But when these conflicts remained open, children responded with depression, anxiety, and/or behavior problems.
"Parents don't realize that children are sensitive to their conflicts," Cummings says. "But we find they are sensitive at very early ages -- starting at 1 year of age, at least. Children are like emotional Geiger counters with regard to their parents' relationship. If parents really resolve things, children will know it. If they don't, children will know that, too."
Child and adolescent psychologist Nancy Cahir, PhD, says the findings support her observations.
"A lot of times, the misconception with families is that as long as they don't hit their kids, everything is fine," Cahir tells WebMD. "But sometimes the conflict between the parents can be just as damaging as physical abuse. If the child is constantly hearing arguments that don't get resolved, the child will have difficulties with attachment, with adjustment, and with basic trust of other people."
Interestingly, older kids were at least as affected as younger ones. Teens, Cummings says, were even more strongly affected than younger children.
And that's not all. Another study in the same issue of Child Development shows that children in high-conflict homes have much more restless sleep and daytime sleepiness. The more unresolved the parental conflicts, the more disrupted the child's sleep.

Jack received honorary degrees from several institutions of higher learning, including the University of Miami, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Illinois, Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M University, and Georgia Institute of Technology.
Any biography of Jack would be incomplete without describing the quality of the man. Jack was a unique and special individual. Quiet and thoughtful with a generous spirit, he took the time to encourage young engineers and frequently allowed grade-school students to interview him for class papers. He was a man of few words, yet his well-thought-out comments were often peppered with quiet humor. Jack was quick to credit the thousands of engineers who followed him for growing the semiconductor industry. Quoting an earlier Nobel Prize winner in the introductory remarks of his Nobel Lecture, Jack compared his feelings about the tremendous strides the industry had made with those of a beaver looking at Hoover Dam—"It's based on an idea of mine."
Jack was a gentle man and a gentleman, and at 6 feet 6 inches, he was occasionally called a "gentle giant" by the media. Lowkey and practical, Jack was a man who had earned the right to boast but never did. Above all, he was an engineer who enjoyed both the craft and art of his profession. Jack shaped an industry, but even more, he touched our souls. He will be remembered both for what he accomplished and for who he was.
It would be an incomplete portrait of Jack not to mention how important his family was to him. He is survived by two daughters, Janet Kilby Cameron and Ann Kilby; five granddaughters, Caitlan, Marcy, and Gwen Cameron, and Erica and Katrina Venhuizen; and a son-in-law, Thomas Cameron. His wife, Barbara, and sister, Jane, preceded him in death.

" Prague "
Scheduled was a meeting in Prague,
To attend were those men of the bog,
Nary a one of them ever did show,
All spoke they were covered in snow.
Now those men from that bog,
Did gather on a log,
To hear one another so say,
They'd rather to meet next day.
One day turned to another,
One from the bog had a brother,
Whose claim was the same,
All was such shame,
To meet they'd soon as not bother.
Thus the tale is told by those very bold,
Of an island of snow so sold.
For a farthing well sought,
And a sow well bought,
Cause of that meeting 'twas naught.

Yes, that's my grand vision
Being the mayor of your Animal Crossing: New Leaf town has it perks. You get your own Town Hall office, shopkeepers are always polite to you, everyone always comes to you with their gossip, it's easy to allocate funds toward sending secret armies to fight covert drug wars in other countries, etc.
Another thing you can do is pass ordinances to fit your play style, like making it so all the stores are open late, which works great if you rarely have time to play New Leaf earlier than 10PM, when most of the shops are already closed. You can also pass laws to make the town more beautiful (less garbage and weeds) and wealthy!

ESPN seems to be taking all the wrong angles on this story, in my opinion. I keep hearing former players turned analyst saying over and over again how this kind of thing happens in every locker room and that the players are already trying to hit each other hard in the first place so what's the big deal. The big deal here is that I don't think a bounty system or a pay-for-performance program to this magnitude is really going on in every locker room. I don't think that defensive coordinators in every locker room are paying players to injure other opponents on a regular basis. This bounty system crossed the line with coaches and even general manager participation and encouragement. Besides the point that New Orleans was warned in 2009 about the bounties and continued to do it.
Roger Goodell is going to take this opportunity to crucify Gregg Williams and further promote his cause of "player safety" while still pushing his 18 game season through the back door. I'm not sure how they are going to review all of New Orleans hits to see I they were legal or not or even if they will. In my opinion, to know now that all of their defensive hits were motivated by these bounties makes them all illegal. I know going into watching a game of football that the object of the defensive players (and offensive players if your name is Hines Ward) is to hit the opposing player as hard as you can. That's what they're taught since the first time they put on a helmet and that's what their coaches should be instructing them to do. From that injuries can occur. Players on both sides of the ball are very much aware of that, as are the fans. What bothers me about this bounty program is if a player is already trying to hit the other player as hard as he can, why have to add a cash incentive on top of it? What kind of player are you that you need to have $1,500 riding on you performing at the best of your ability? It can't possibly be for clean, legal hits if you have to put a cash prize on it. Did the Saints defense really need to put a $10K bounty on Brett Favre's head in order to play hard in the NFC Championship game?
The other side of this is the cheating aspect. And I'm not talking about the competitive advantage like say the Patriots earned by watching video tapes of opponents signals, but the knowingly breaking the rules part of it. The CBA clearly addresses bounties and bonuses outside of contracts for performance as do the players contracts themselves. On top of that the league sent memos to all the teams specifically indicating that bounties were directly against league rules. The fact that a coach and his players ignored all of this really rubs fans the wrong way. You know what we have to do in our jobs every day? Follow the rules. We weren't born with athletic talents, therefore we have to follow all laws and rules or we have to face consequences. The Saints were violating the CBA as well as the salary cap by giving cash bonuses to players without it being counted towards their salaries or even taxed. Goodell will always be criticized for the way he handled Spy-Gate by destroying all the evidence immediately following the investigation and issuing zero suspensions. Some fans will always attribute the Pats for being cheaters simply because of that scandal and how Goodell handled it. He has to find a way to discipline the Saints in a manner in which they can, at some point, come back from this in the eyes of NFL fans.
I honestly feel sorry for Saints fans at this point. I don't see any way that this scandal doesn't taint their Super Bowl run in 2009. Their coaches and players knowingly and willingly broke the rules, not necessarily to gain a competitive advantage, but for their own entertainment to place wagers on the heads of opposing players. As much as I criticize Goodell I think he has to come down hard on Williams and the Saints organization about this, if not just to send a message to the rest of the league if this issue is as wide spread as the "analysts" would like us all to believe. I don't need Goodell to take the violence out of football, that would be impossible. I'd like him to take the cheating out of it though, as much as he can. I need him to realize the difference between hard hits that are hard because they are delivered by incredibly talented and passionate players like Ryan Clark and James Harrison and hits that are hard because the player needs an extra financial incentive like a few hundred dollars to make it rain at the strip club.
The bottom line is Steeler Nation can be confident that this type of scandal would never tarnish the Black & Gold defense. Not only do our coaches and front office have more respect and integrity for the game than that, but our players do as well. I realize we have some hard hitters on our defense. Not all of Harrison's hits were legal but he's paid out the nose for them. However, just like James said, there's a clear cut difference between trying to hurt a player and trying to injure a player. Putting a bounty on players heads and attaching a financial reward for a "cart off" is dirty and wrong. The Steelers franchise and fans have always been known as blue-collar and hard working because we are raised to do things the right way. We're not perfect. We don't claim to be. But if we're going to get something it's going to be because we've rightfully earned it and didn't have to bend or break rules, or even cheat to get it.

Scientific Advertising
The time has come when advertising has in some hands reached the status of a science. It is based on fixed principles and is reasonably exact. The causes and effects have been analyzed until they are well understood. The correct methods of procedure have been proved and established. We know what is most effective, and we act on basic law.
Advertising, once a gamble, has thus become, under able direction, one of the safest business ventures. Certainly no other enterprise with comparable possibilities need involve so little risk.
Therefore, this book deals, not with theories and opinions, but with well-proven principles and facts. It is written as a text book for students and a safe guide for advertisers. Every statement has been weighed. The book is confined to establish fundamentals. If we enter any realms of uncertainty we shall carefully denote them.less

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
There are great sites out there that show you high-quality content of gals actually squirting. However, there are just as many sites that try to pass of fake water stunts as squirting and are a huge disappointment. Because of that, I am always cautious about getting too excited about a squirting site. However, I am very happy to report that you should feel free to get excited about Squirt 4 Real because it is one of the good ones.
Jamie James is a sexy chick from Montreal and the star of Squirt4Real. Her site is dedicated to the beautiful art of female ejaculation. The site looks nice and along with all the content there is also an "about me" section as well as information about the G-spot and female ejaculation: what it is, how it happens and how you can do it too (or do it to your woman, for all you guys).
Jamie herself is a great squirter, as you can see for yourself in the 59 videos. This chick doesn't just get wet, she sends it squirting from her shaved pussy in bursts up to at least four to five feet away sometimes. Jamie is not the only babe on the site though.
While there are lots of solo scenes, many feature Jamie and another hot chick. Some of these chicks are like old faithful, with the height and amount of wetness they send flying from their pink holes. Other babes have never squirted before and Jamie is there to help them do it for the first time.
The movies can be streamed or downloaded in good-quality Windows Media format. Either route you go, you will be able to enjoy each wet and sexy scene. Lower-quality files are also available and each scene comes with a set of matching vid caps.
The one issue I have, and it is a big one, is with the updating, which seems to have stopped over three years ago. And some more bad news comes from the fact that there aren't any bonus sites. Still, Jamie and her friends are hot and sexy and the squirting action is top-notch. Squirt 4 Real is the real thing!

Our Favorite Richmond Virginia Activities, Shops, & Eats
Exactly eight years ago today, Sherry and I picked up and moved from NYC to Richmond, VA together. Apart from the towns that we grew up in, neither of us have ever lived any place longer – and it's the only hometown that Clara has ever known. So we thought it would be fun to commemorate this date – and this city that we love. Especially since you guys ask us plenty of "when in
Rome Richmond" questions – the biggest one being "what thrift/discount stores should I hit up when I pass through?"
Three years ago we celebrated our 5th anniversary by sharing a quick post about our "Five Richmond Top Fives" – but that only mentioned two thrift shops – and we've definitely found other haunts, activities, and eateries since then. So we thought a more thorough guide was in order… complete with an interactive map and an itinerary (you know me – I love a good graphic).
And since Richmond was recently named The Best River Town in America and one of Frommer's Top Destinations for 2014 (only one of three in the US, the others being Palm Springs and Hawaii!), well, we figured our eighth anniversary was the perfect occasion to break things down for you guys.
With the help of modern technology (i.e. Google) we've embedded an interactive map with a dozen of our favorite thrift and discount stores in Richmond (green dots), along with some other suggested spots for eating (blue dots), or otherwise having-a-good-time spots (red dots). You can click any of the dots below for more info on each one of them – including a description from us about what you'll find, some tips about when they're closed, etc. Note: if you can't see the map, try clicking here.
And here's a hypothetical itinerary. It doesn't include all of the eating options or any of the red dots (those are other fun activities outside of shopping/thrifting) but if you click those dots on the map you'll get more info on each of those.
Let's hit the road, shall we? Assuming you're starting somewhere near the city center, you can head either clockwise or counter-clockwise around the map – we'll do the latter in this post. Either way, you might want to fuel up at Sugar Shack Donuts or Dixie Donuts (pictured) before you start shopping (check out Sugar Shack's FB page for secret free donut deals like "recite an ode to your donut"). Most thrift stores don't open 'til 9 or 10am, so you've got time to enjoy it. Oh and many are closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays – so try to avoid those days if you want to cram the most in.
Our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore is our go-to spot for donating, and is usually a good shot at finding building materials and fixtures. If you're more in the market for furniture and accessory finds, you might want to start at Diversity Thrift. We got lots of stuff there over the years, including the glass and metal table in our first house's living/dining room (we still have it in the garage with a plan for tweaking it for our back porch someday).
Next head north on nearby I-95 to Lakeside Avenue which has a few thrift and antique spots, most notably Consignment Connection. It's got tons of little rooms full of things, and is sort of a mix between an antique shop and a thrift store. It's where Sherry found her beloved whale globe.
If you want the inspiration and tools for revamping your thrifted finds – or just want to buy something that has already been made over, make the short trek up I-95 to Ashland and swing by Thrill of the Hunt which has great upcycled furniture.
On your way back, don't miss Class and Trash for lots of vintage and shabby chic stuff, including tons of metal signs and letters. We try to stop in a few times a season since there's always a lot of stuff (both big and small) to see. If you've haven't already needed a lunch break, you could pop down to the Short Pump area for a burger. We love Burgerworks for a casual but filling one built to your liking (I always get a fried egg on top). Burger Bach, a New Zealand-style gastropub, is also nearby for a foodie-r experience (it's really good, but you might have a bit of a wait).
You may just need to go nap and call it a day by this point, but if not – head south on I-288 toward the river. Wait, but slip through HOPE Thrift on your way. It's the newest store on our radar and we know we're bound to find something cool there soon. Once you hit Midlothian Turnpike, you've entered our main drag of thrift stores. You can start small at RAL Reuse, which we love because it supports the Richmond Animal League. And also because its near one of our favorite cafes, Urban Farmhouse. Even if you're not hungry, stop in for a coffee/tea and some pretty amazing design inspiration. There's also a location downtown if you don't have time to spare.
Further down the road is a Salvation Army Family Center, which is one of the more furniture-heavy thrift stores that we've been into locally. If that's not really what you're looking for, you can skip it and head straight for The Decorating Outlet. It's not technically a thrift store, but it's too full of deals to leave off the list. We get tons of lights there, but we've also scored rugs and furniture there too – including our crazy discounted kitchen table.
By the time you get to this part of the route, it means you're nearing our #1 go-to spot for thrifted furniture: Love of Jesus Thrift Store on Midlothian. They've got tons of furniture, and we scored a bunch of stuff for our book there – including this dresser that we painted in a gradient back in 2012 (and still use in our bedroom today). Across the street is Family Thrift Center, which used to just be a convenience (i.e. pity) stop, but we just found this $9.98 headboard for the showhouse there, so it's a new favorite.
If you still have time (admittedly, doubtful) – Caravati's is also worth a stop. It's an architectural salvage place so prices are much higher than thrift stores, but there are such cool sights that make it worth the detour. And once all the stores are closed, hit up the Proper Pie Company for dinner and dessert (yup, they've got savory and sweet pies) – along with one last dose of vintage decor inspiration.
Admittedly it's probably a bit ambitious to cram all of this into just one day, especially if you like to take your time perusing like Sherry does (or take your time eating like I do). But maybe that just means you'll need to stay the weekend. Or move here entirely. You know, either one works.
Now what about you guys? What are the best thrifting spots in your town? Wouldn't it be awesome to have a city-by-city database of them somewhere with user rated reviews and a "print me a map" feature so you'd know where to go when you get to a new place? Somebody get on that. Or does it already exist and we're the last ones to know?

Oh boy, we'll have to make a road trip sometime! My British hubby is all about meat pies. I'd love to check out the thrift shops. And, of course the nice weather.
Too funny – the second I saw that picture, I thought, "Oh man, my (also British) husband would be in heaven if we had one of those up here!"
Admittedly we have never been to Richmond (!) but if we ever make it there, thrifting is definitely on the itinerary! I love thrift stores. Not just for getting good deals, but for donating unwanted things in the hope that someone else will use and love it. In our area (west burbs of Chicago), there are several good places like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and the Brown Elephant local chain. Sometimes we also just shop our back alley, though. ;-)
There are no good places in Philadelphia. Everyone should just stay away.
That is an entirely false statement. I'm so sad you feel that way!
Hehe, I see what you're trying to do Victoria ;)
Haha. You mean i should just stop looking for giant fancy things in Philly area? Love your blog!
Thank you SOOOO much for this!! I've been looking for an excuse to get down that way and now that you've given me a map AND donuts, it's going on the to do list. Perhaps in the Fall for my birfday!
Perfect timing! I will be in Glen Allen for a homeschool convention in March. Now I know where to grab eat. Thanks!
Glad you guys did this post- I've been wanting to travel down there and go to town!
GREAT post! I'm planning a few day trips and weekend getaways with my son for this summer and I think we'll add Richmond to the list! THankS!
YES, someone PLEASE make a map! Or at least one of Virginia (I am up in NoVA!). lol
If you haven't been to Unique thift store in Merrifield you're missing out!
I second Cathy! I'd love to find more places in NoVa.
Cathy – have you been to Treasure Hound in Chantilly? It's staged more like a consignment store, but it's a thrift store with great prices. At first it can seem a little country / old, but I've found some great stuff there by popping in often (not a lot of big furniture pieces though). The ReStore in Chantilly is nearby also and even though it can be hit or miss – when it's a hit it's a hit!
Great post. Its always nice to hear of great places to try all over the country- just in case you are ever in the area!
Man I wish I was closer to Richmond, or just lived in a cooler town! All these great stores and food options make me very jealous. My new town in Ohio (just moved here a few months ago) is soooo dull and the nearby options aren't that good either. I guess one good thing about the lack of good food options is we just eat at home more often, which is saving us a ton of $$! I would love to visit Richmond for a weekend trip sometime!
Columbus area has great thrift and consignment stores! Good food options, too. Maybe a weekend trip for you? Google "Ohio Thrift Inc" for their store locations. Also, Grandview Mercantile in the Short North and some shops on W. 5th Ave. are worth a look. As for food, try Urbanspoon or Yelp for suggestions, depending on your tastes. City Barbeque, Skillet, Schmidt's — all family affordable, plus many upscale ($$$$) places like The Refectory…oh, and try Jeni's Ice Cream! Maybe this is not new info for you, but just in case…
Ohio has a lot of great places to shop, eat and have fun. I am most familiar with NE Ohio and I have lived in other parts except for SE OH. The weather has been unusually cold and snowy for many parts so maybe your opinion will change once spring comes!
I am from Richmond (now residing in NoVA) and all these new food places are popping up which makes me extremely jelly. I'm heading to Richmond this weekend to see family and will definitely take a detour to the places you mentioned. I LOVE
I am from Richmond (now residing in NoVA) and all these new food places are popping up which makes me extremely jelly. I'm heading to Richmond this weekend to see family and will definitely take a detour to the places you mentioned and possibly snag some items from the thrift shops as well… even if the hubby likes it or not!
I'm curious – why did you decide to leave NYC and why Richmond? Do you have family there?
I'd love to pick up my fam and move south. It's too cold in Ohio for me. Brrrrr
Here's a link to a website where you can search for local thrift stores. Some of them have customer ratings too.
Have you all tried Country Style Donuts off Williamsburg Rd? They are the best donuts I've ever had. I do love Sugar Shack and I'm super excited they opened a coffee shop downtown but CSD is by far the best. You get a dozen for around $8. Your only regret will be trying them because you'll find yourself daydreaming about them once they're gone.
Agreed. CSD are the best donuts in Richmond.
country style is soooooooo good!
and i think they're opening a 2nd shop in short pump, right?
Adding to the love for Country Style! So good! I think that's part of why I have never ventured to too many other donut places in Richmond. Except for Krispy Kreme, which were on my way to work. But those are their own category of donut.
We're in the process of moving down south right now, and we'll only be a few hours away from Richmond(!), so this cheat sheet is oh so helpful. :) I completely agree that every thrifting trip should start with some donuts :D
I know you've donated to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore pretty often, but have you ever purchased things there? If so, can you give us some examples of things you've bought there?
oh to have time to spend the day thrifting… :)
Looove this post!! I'm a fellow Richmonder :) and this past year, by hubby and I actually did a stay-cation here so we could finally have some free time to fit in all the places we always want to get to… but never find the time. If someone comes in the spring time they HAVE to check out the Butterfly house at Lewis Ginter Bontanical Gardens. 100's of butterflies in a huge glassed in area… a MUST.
It was just my eight year anniversary for moving to my current city and meeting my wonderful boyfriend! Happy eight years guys!
you guys are missing the lazy daisy in heart of chester! consignment, gifts, home décor, upcycled cool stuff. check it out!
Hey guys, I'm wondering how you found all these places? I'm from Baltimore and every time I google thrift in my area all I get is goodwills. Suggestions???
Thanks, Chrissy
Try looking for "consignment" or "salvage". My fav in B'more (hi, neighbor!):
http://www.secondchanceinc.org – they have a little of everything
http://www.housewerksalvage.com – more expensive but beautiful building and items – they know what each is worth, though
http://www.loadingdock.org – least favorite for items, but they have great workshops for members ($10/year membership)
Hope that helps!
Maybe this is a good use of the forums (which I admit to only lurking on now and then) — a spot for us all to say "Hey! I'm visiting XYZ…who knows where the good thrift shops are??" Or consignment shops, you know, wardrobe DYI sorta… If anyone wants Chattanooga or Atlanta consignment (and some house DYI thrift) ideas, feel free to message me through my FB page (linked)!!
Sometimes I use this site if I'm going to a new city to check stuff out. I don't know how reliable and all inclusive it is, but I've had some luck with it (even without the map part). Bypass the sponsored part, the better ones are listed below…
I'd love to hear what ideas people have for Boston. The only shop I know of and shop regularly is the Garage Sale in the South End.
I mostly know of secondhand clothing stores. But in Roxbury is the Boston Materials Resource Center which has reclaimed fixtures, doors, windows, sinks, vanities, kitchen cabinets, countertops, tile, and other treasures. The other side is a co-op where you can order new stuff for very reasonable prices. Roxbury is also home to the Goodwill mothership. Davis Square in Somerville has a nice little trio of a Goodwill, a Buffalo Exchange, and Found (designer consignment) on the same block. Urban Renewals in Allston has miles of clothes, and a room of housewares all the way in the back. Second Time Around is a consignment chain that's got a few different locations around the area. Garment District in Cambridge is a great source for secondhand clothes, vintage clothing and costumes. Thrifted furniture is scarce because of the bed bug problem. But Davis Square has Sunshine Lucy's which is a tiny shop with a mix of vintage and up-cycled furniture. There's also the Antique Market in Cambridge – 4 stories that house ~150 different stalls run by individual dealers – so there's tons of variety. The nice stuff is $$$ though.
I'll have to check out the Garage Sale – I hadn't heard of that one!
There's also a great Habitat ReStore in Billerica. I got an amazing milk glass & bronze flush mount light fixture there for $8!
Shh… don't tell too many people :)
Seconded! I'm new to the area (Brookline) and totally at a loss!
I'm so glad you asked this question! I've been lamenting the lack of thrift/consignment options here for a while. If only we had a ReStore…and I just saw the comment about the one in Billerica. Solved!
Another place to check out in the South End/Roxbury area is Restoration Resources. Awesome stuff, and the guy who owns it is really nice. http://www.restorationresources.com/
Wow, what a treasure trove! I've lived in Richmond most of my life and have been to many of these thrift stores, but you've put some new ones on my radar. And maybe, with the restaurant suggestions, I can get hubby to come along too!
Love of Jesus is a favorite of ours too. The amount of furniture that place has at any given time is insane. We've actually not bought any large pieces from there but last time we went I found this amazing set of 6(!)vintage wooden salad bowls for $3.
And Proper Pie Co..GOOD LORD. This place had me at hello! The Brekkie is TO DIE FOR and I have DREAMS about the buttermilk and raspberry! Next time I'm going for the chicken & kumara.
If you guys have never tried The Naked Onion or Kuba Kuba I recommend both places.
Great…now I want pie.
Definitely give The Naked Onion a go. They're very very reasonably priced and a no frills kind of place. Warning, they are TAKE OUT ONLY. Just didn't want you guys expecting a sit down experience. It's over on Cary Street and only about a mile from Maymont so we usually grab it to go on a nice day and head over to the park and have a picnic. Soups, salads and sandwiches. Oh..and FRESH MADE IN HOUSE BREAD. Best bread I've ever had..and this is coming from a Jersey girl native and everyone knows Jersey is where the good bread is!
Love this post. We moved to RVA this summer and still have much to explore. Thanks for the tips! ps there is a Dixie Donut location on Broad St in Short Pump now too & if you're looking for NY style bagels Cupertino's is great (also Short Pump area)
I live in Montreal but I'm from the Maritimes (Eastern Canada) and I think less populated areas have the BEST thrifting because fewer people pick through things, and there seems to be a preference for the new. That means more vintage stuff for me, yay!
There's a chaine called Frenchy's that has the best clothes and vintage home goods, then of course there's Value Village and the Salvation Army for bigger pieces. In Montreal we have VV, SA another chaine called Renaissance, but they're often already picked through. There are however flea markets including the St-Michel Flea market and when you're lucky, you can find a church bazaar. You really have to commit to these, but when you do, you can strike gold.
An interactive database would be so awesome (!), because thrifting is one of the top things I want to do when travelling, but it's hard to find the places where the locals go.
I'll second the Frenchy's love! I'm from Halifax and the best stores are on the highways heading to the rural areas. They are definitely less picked-over.
Great Ashland shout out! I went to college at RMC and love the Ashland (and by extension Richmond) area.
Did you ever thrift while you were in NYC? Any old favorites you miss here?
SO fun! It's funny, my SIL lives in VA. Whenever we go down for a visit I always ask if we can go to Richmond. She lives about two hours away though so it has yet to work out. But when it doesn't I'll have a full days worth of shopping to do!
Doesn't Matt Paxton, the Hoarders guy, live in Richmond, too? You guys should team up! Find a hoarder, have Matt clean out all of the dead cats and poop, and then you guys could redecorate! I would totally watch that.
LOVE that you guys did this! So going to check out these places if I ever get to the States. Am planning a trip to San Fran in Feb 2016 for the Super Bowl sooooo maybe I'll just have to swing by while I'm there! (Yes I know its COMPLETELY on the other side but I think its do-able. LOL!) Will get back to you on the best haunts over here in my neck of the woods.
Awesome post! I wish I had the guts to move somewhere far away! Anyway, I'd love to visit Richmond someday so these are great tips.
Awesome! Thanks for the Richmond tips. I drive through Richmond all the time since it's between my house and the houses of all of my family and my partners family.
Is Diversity thrift the rainbow building you can see from the highway?
Thanks! I just looked at their website. Looks like there open til 6 on Sundays, so we could stop on the way home from a weekend visit!
As a fellow Richmonder, I love this post! Thanks. Have y'all been to Susan's Selections over by Willow Lawn? It's another great place. Also – we found our 50s-vintage kitchen table at Cold Harbor Antique Mall.
Your website is one of just a few that I read every day.
Thanks so much for the info. We are only about an hour from Richmond, so go there on occasion and I'm always looking for places to check out for home wares, etc. Oh, and the Proper Pie Co. – just makes my Aussie heart melt!
Thank you for this list! Someday I'll make it down there to visit my brother and sister-in-law and I'd like to do check out some of the sights.
Do you still have the thrifted globe with the whale holder that you bought for Clara in 2012? If you painted the base, it seems it could fit with the theme of the barnacle's room… ;)
Geography lesson time: Palm Springs is in the US too. Just like Richmond and Hawaii.
My hubby and I are just about to celebrate our 6 month anniversary of moving to RVA! We've hit up a few of your suggestions for thrifting and we wholeheartedly agree with the Sugar Shack/Dixie Donuts shout out. So good! Next time you're at Carvatis (my neck of the woods!)you should pop over to Plant Zero Cafe on 3rd street for breakfast or lunch. :) it's delicious and they have cheap mimosas!
What a timely post! The hubby and I are relocated to Richmond in a couple of weeks. We now have a great list of places to explore. We only visited for one weekend during his interview, so there is still LOTS to see.
A little off topic, but I noticed several places on the list are in the Church Hill area. We are looking for a rental and have been searching in the Carytown/Museum District/Fan area. We didn't even see Church Hill while we were in town. Any recommendation on whether Church Hill would also be a good place to look?
I live in Church Hill and LOVE it! We have several new resturants that have opened up recently too. Church Hill now has its own Urban Farmhouse location (mentioned above). Union Market and Sub Rosa are both delicious and Alamo BBQ is one of my favorites. That's not even mentioning Proper Pie (also above) and The Hill Cafe which is a classic:) The house next door to mine is actually for rent right now if you are interested…
Ellen – I would love to hear more about the area and the house for rent! Feel free to email me:

I love this! I've been RVA local for going on 3 years. I love LOJ!
I lived near Richmond (Ft. Eustis!) when I was Clara's age. I love it so much. We took a vacation near Richmond last summer (over fourth of July). We didn't get to do any thrifting but we went to the beach, and Williamsburg Pottery and a few museums. But my biggest passion when I am there is to go to Colonial Williamsburg. Have you taken the family there? I think Clara would really like interacting with all the people in character for the time.
Annnnnd now I really want a donut, a burger and a piece of pie… Thanks! ;-)
We lived in Richmond for 8 years and are traveling back for a visit in April-Can't wait to eat at our favorites-821 & Harrison Street cafe. Sooo many great places to eat!!!
Love this. We are heading to Arlington/DC Area for spring break and to celebrate my grandfather's 100th birthday! Unfortunately, I highly doubt I can get the family on board with thrifting, even with the lure of doughnuts and pie. Boo.
As a local, I give you many props for this write up. I love learning about my hometown through your eyes. Thank you!
