Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere, As Far As the Eye Can See
One of the fundamental causes of the housing bubble of the aughts was a global glut of investment money with nowhere productive to go. So instead it went into housing, causing bubbles in the U.S. and several other countries. When the bubble burst, the economy tanked. And since the United States is so big, the Great Recession affected the whole world.
Here in America, we'd like to believe that we learned our lesson. And maybe we did. But there's still a global glut of investment money around, and there still aren't enough productive uses for it. So where's it going? Neil Irwin reports that Nouriel Roubini thinks it's still going into housing:
Roubini doesn't see bubbles in the places where they were most severe in the pre-2008 period. He doesn't mention the United States or Spain or Ireland. Rather, Roubini sees housing prices getting out of whack in quite a few small and mid-sized nations that are well-governed and managed to avoid the worst economic effects of the financial crisis: Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the London metropolitan area in the U.K.
....Roubini's argument boils down to this: The major economies have been growing only slowly. Yet with low interest rates and aggressive central bank action across the globe, there is a giant pool of money that has to go somewhere. That somewhere has not been productive new investments, like companies building new factories. Rather, it has come in the form of people taking advantage of cheap credit to bid up the price of existing real estate in cities from Stockholm to Sydney.
The key problem, as it's been for over a decade, is why investors can't find enough productive uses for their money. Weak economic growth due to rising income inequality is one possibility. Another is the rise of cheap entertainment—Facebook, Xbox, World of Warcraft—which portends lower demand for physical goods and services in the future. Or maybe it's because of steadily rising unemployment thanks to the growth of automation.
Whatever the reason, if this imbalance continues, it's hard to see things turning out well in the medium term. We need either less capital formation or more consumer demand—or both. The alternative is bubble after bubble. They may come in different places and different things, but what other alternative is there?

The Art of Giving and Receiving Advice Seeking and giving advice are central to effective leadership and decision making, and they require emotional intelligence, self-awareness, restraint, diplomacy, and patience on both sides. But managers tend to view these competencies as "gifts" that one either has or lacks. The authors argue instead that they are practical skills you can learn and apply to great effect. They draw on a large body of research to identify the most common obstacles to effectively seeking and giving advice—such as thinking one already has the answers, defining the problem poorly, and overstepping boundaries—and offer practical guidelines for getting past them. The authors define the five stages of advising: (1) finding the right fit; (2) developing a shared understanding; (3) crafting alternatives; (4) converging on a decision; and (5) putting advice into action. Each stage includes suggestions for seekers and for advisers. Example: At stage 4, when it's time to narrow down the options, a seeker might review discarded or briefly considered ideas, and his adviser might play devil's advocate—to check for confirmation bias. Overall, the authors' guidelines amount to a fundamental shift in approach: a creative, collaborative way of understanding problems and crafting promising paths forward—which often requires an ongoing conversation.
How Google Sold Its Engineers on Management High-performing knowledge workers often question whether managers actually contribute much, especially in a technical environment. Until recently, that was the case at Google, a company filled with self-starters who viewed management as more destructive than beneficial and as a distraction from "real work." But when Google's people analytics team examined the value of managers, applying the same rigorous research methods the company uses in its operations, it proved the skeptics wrong. Mining data from employee surveys, performance reviews, and double-blind interviews, the team verified that managers indeed had a positive impact. It also pinpointed exactly how, identifying the eight key behaviors of great Google managers. In this article, Harvard Business School professor Garvin describes how Google has incorporated the detailed findings from the research into highly specific, concrete guidelines; classes; and feedback reports that help managers hone their essential skills. Because these tools were built from the ground up, using the staff's own input, they've been embraced by Google employees. Managers say that they've found their training to be invaluable, and managers' ratings from direct reports have steadily risen across the company.How Google Proved Management Matters - an interview with David Garvin.

Rethinking the MBA By David Garvin, Harvard Business Review Press, 2010 For decades, MBA graduates from top-tier schools set the standard for cutting-edge business knowledge and skills. Now the business world has changed, say the authors of Rethinking the MBA -- Srikant M. Datar, David A. Garvin, and Patrick G. Cullen -- and MBA programs must change with it. Increasingly, managers and recruiters are questioning conventional business education. An interview with David Garvin discussing his book "Rethinkging the MBA." ExcerptReview
Meeting the Challenge of Corporate Entrepreneurship To be competitive, companies must grow innovative new businesses. Corporate entrepreneurship, however, isn't easy. New ventures face innumerable barriers and seldom mesh smoothly with well-established systems, processes, and cultures. Nonetheless, success requires a balance of old and new organizational traits--and unless companies keep those opposing forces in equilibrium, their new businesses will flounder. The authors describe the challenges companies face when they pursue new businesses, as well as the usual problematic responses to those challenges. Such companies, they say, must perform three balancing acts: 1) Develop strategy by trial and error, which includes narrowing potential choices, learning from small samples, using prototypes to test business models, tracking progress through nonfinancial measures, and knowing how and when to pull the plug on a new venture; 2) Find the best combination of old and new operational processes by staffing new ventures with "mature turks," changing veterans' thinking, knowing which capabilities to develop and which to acquire, and having old and new businesses share responsibility for operating decisions; 3) Strike the right balance of integration and autonomy by assigning both corporate and operating sponsors to new ventures, establishing criteria for handoffs to existing divisions, and using creative organizational structures. The authors provide a detailed look at IBM's Emerging Business Opportunity system, which manages all these balancing acts simultaneously. Excerpt
What You Don't Know About Making Decisions Most executives think of decision making as a singular event that occurs at a particular point in time. In reality, though, decision making is a process fraught with power plays, politics, personal nuances, and institutional history. Leaders who recognize this make far better decisions than those who persevere in the fantasy that decisions are events they alone control. That said, some decision making processes are far more effective than others. Most often, participants use an advocacy process, possibly the least productive way to get things done. They view decision making as a contest, arguing passionately for their preferred solutions, presenting information selectively, withholding relevant conflicting data so they can make a convincing case, and standing firm against opposition. Much more powerful is an inquiry process, in which people consider a variety of options and work together to discover the best solution. Moving from advocacy to inquiry requires careful attention to three critical factors: fostering constructive, rather than personal, conflict; making sure everyone knows that their viewpoints are given serious consideration even if they are not ultimately accepted; and knowing when to bring deliberations to a close. The authors discuss in detail strategies for moving from an advocacy to an inquiry process, as well as for fostering productive conflict, true consideration, and timely closure. And they offer a framework for assessing the effectiveness of your process while you're still in the middle of it. Decision making is a job that lies at the very heart of leadership and one that requires a genius for balance: the ability to embrace the divergence that may characterize early discussions and to forge the unity needed for effective implementation. AbstractExcerpt
Learning in Action: A Guide to Putting the Learning Organization to Work By David A. Garvin, Harvard Business School Press, 2000 Most managers today understand the value of building a learning organization. Their goal is to leverage knowledge and make it a key corporate asset, yet they remain uncertain about how best to get started. What they lack are guidelines and tools that transform abstract theory—the learning organization as an ideal-into hands-on implementation. For the first time in Learning in Action, David Garvin helps managers make the leap from theory to proven practice. Garvin argues that at the heart of organizational learning lies a set of processes that can be designed, deployed, and led. He starts by describing the basic steps in every learning process-acquiring, interpreting, and applying knowledge—then examines the critical challenges facing managers at each of these stages and the various ways the challenges can be met. Drawing on decades of scholarship and a wealth of examples from a wide range of fields, Garvin next introduces three modes of learning—intelligence gathering, experience, and experimentation—and shows how each mode is most effectively deployed. These approaches are brought to life in complete, richly detailed case studies of learning in action at organizations such as Xerox, L. L. Bean, the U. S. Army, and GE. The book concludes with a discussion of the leadership role that senior executives must play to make learning a day-to-day reality in their organizations..
Change Through Persuasion By David A. Garvin and Michael A. Roberto, Harvard Business Review, February, 2005 Faced with the need for a massive change, most managers respond predictably. They revamp the organization's strategy, shift around staff, and root out inefficiencies. They then wait patiently for performance to improve—only to be bitterly disappointed because they've failed to prepare employees adequately for the change. In this article, the authors contend that to make change stick, leaders must conduct an effective persuasion campaign—one that begins weeks or months before the turnaround plan is set in concrete. Like a political campaign, a persuasion campaign is largely one of differentiation from the past. Turnaround leaders must convince people that the organization is truly on its deathbed—or, at the very least, that radical changes are required if the organization is to survive and thrive. (This is a particularly difficult challenge when years of persistent problems have been accompanied by few changes in the status quo.) And they must demonstrate through word and deed that they are the right leaders with the right plan. Accomplishing all this calls for a four-part communications strategy. Prior to announcing a turnaround plan, leaders need to set the stage for employees' acceptance of it. At the time of delivery, they must present a framework through which employees can interpret information and messages about the plan. As time passes, they must manage the mood so that employees' emotional states support implementation and follow-through. And at critical intervals, they must provide reinforcement to ensure that the desired changes take hold and that there's no backsliding. Using the example of the dramatic turnaround at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the authors elucidate the inner workings of a successful change effort.

LAKE ELSINORE: Leaders touting rebound in wake of housing growth
Upswings in population and housing at rates that haven't been seen since the recession hit have Lake Elsinore leaders touting the cityâs prospects.
Not only was Lake Elsinore the fastest growing city in Riverside County and the third fastest in the state last year -- burgeoning to 55,430 residents -- many more are on their way, if the city's projection for home building pans out.
City Hall administrators forecast construction will start on 806 homes this fiscal year, compared to 674 last year and nearly triple what happened annually during the recession years. And the forecast, they say, is a conservative estimate.
âNo one else is building 800 homes a year,â Mayor Bob Magee said in a recent interview. âIn the state, nobody else is doing that.â
He said some builders in town now have waiting lists for their products.
âThat's just unheard of,â Magee said. âWe're going back to 2005 before anything like that happened.â
During the growth boom of the early to mid-2000s, Lake Elsinore's population swelled to 50,000 from 29,000.
âWe were hopping at that point,â said the city's building official, Bill Belvin, who tracks the issuance of permits.
However, there's a big difference between the trend now and then. During that boom period, the city also experienced rapid commercial expansion, including the development of shopping centers anchored by Home Depot, Lowe's, Target and Stater Bros. stores.
âThe commercial is basically nothing (now) -- nothing like the residential is,â Belvin said.
He and other city officials hope to lure more retail businesses to Lake Elsinore, which would ramp up sales tax revenue along with revenue from residential property.
âI'm hoping it will bring in some commercial work,â Belvin said. âUsually, when the rooftops come, the commercial comes.â
A drive around the city reveals plenty of rooftops on the rise, especially in the expanding communities of Canyon Hills in eastern Lake Elsinore and Summerly on the south side of town.
Pardee Homes and Richmond American Homes are in the midst of developing wholesale tracts as they surge toward completion of Pardee's Canyon Hills master plan. According to a ranking of home sales in master planned communities by John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Canyon Hills ranked 47th in the nation in 2012 and was the only Riverside County community to make the list.
âThey're averaging 10 to 20 (building permits) a month per tract,â said Belvin. âThey can't build them any faster.â

Keeping Food Safe during the Summer
Posted By News On @ 6:25 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer and the Iowa Department of Public Health says summer is often marked with an increase in food borne diseases. The IDPH's data shows this is usually associated with summertime holidays, such as Memorial Day. Washington County Public Health Inspector Jennine Wolf says to keep raw foods refrigerated until you are ready to cook it. When grilling, it's important to cook meat thoroughly.
Wolf mentions using a meat thermometer when cooking foods to get them to the correct temperature. She says to cook chicken at 165 degrees, hamburgers at 155 degrees, while pork chops and steaks should be cooked at 145 degrees.
Wolf says cooking foods to the correct temperature helps to enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat as well. She adds to make sure you have clean hands to prevent cross contamination. It's also important to immediately refrigerate leftovers.

Steamboat Springs By the time the third quarter had rolled around in last week's Hayden vs. Nucla football game, the cheers from the fans standing behind me had turned ugly.
I'm used to fans cheering against the home team as I photograph local football games. Many times the best angle is in front of the opposing stands.
The visiting fans were fired up for this game because their team, the defending state champs in 2A, were in a tight battle with the hometown Tig-
Normally, I pay very little attention to the words fans use in the stands. I'm used to hearing them cheer when things go bad for the local team. I've heard the complaints about the officiating and the jeers when the home team gets a break.
While I enjoy watching the local teams win, I have to admit that I have little stake in the game no matter which team wins or loses. Either way I have to get back to the office and print the pictures or write the words that best describe what happened on the field for readers.
But, on Saturday, the words coming from the visiting stands were disturbing to say the least.
There was one mother in particular who repeatedly used the phrase "kill him"or "kill them" to encourage defensive players to hit harder. The group also celebrated a big hit on a Hayden player and seemed overjoyed when the kid stumbled back to the huddle.
Now, I'm not coming down on the fans from Nucla. This was a small group of parents and I'm sure that away from the game they are perfectly nice individuals. It wasn't even the hard hits that bothered me I've seen plenty of them and they usually sound a lot worse than they really are.
My problem with the way they were cheering was about the word choice in particular the choice to use the word "kill".
I'm sure that given a videotape or possibly an audio tape these parents might even feel the need to change their behavior. Surely, they didn't realize the impression they were making.
But the fact is that all parents and high school sports fans need to think about the words they use and the things they cheer for before they head out to the old ball game.
Football, by nature, is a very violent game. Fans get fired up, players get fired up and coaches get fired up. It's easy to get lost in the moment, especially when your child is playing in a big game.
But it is important to remember that the players on the field are just that our children.
Just think if that is your kid carrying the ball and the fans on the other side of the field are yelling for him to be killed.
In today's sporting world spectators have become a huge part of most games. The Colorado High School Activities Association has long understood this and provides a short to the point announcement prior to the start of most high school activities. I think it is a worthwhile statement. However, I have to wonder how many fans really listen to the words.
I hope fans will continue to show up in masses at all of our local high school sporting events whether they are home or away. I also hope they keep cheering for the local team and the local players. But I also hope that they cheer for the team that stands on the other sidelines, no matter how difficult, and realize that the fun is in playing the game and not who is winning or losing.

Steamboat Springs Hayden Town Manager Russ Martin is one of three finalists for the city manager position in Camp Verde, Ariz.
Martin is in the final year of a three-year contract and said he wanted to see what opportunities were available.
"I'm not trying to leave, but I think I need to look at other places for my career," Martin said Monday. "At some point, I'd like to work for a larger community. But I don't know if now is the right time."
Martin became Hayden's town manager in March 2004 after serving as the human resources director in Minturn and as a regional planner in Richfield, Utah.
He has a master's degree in human resource management from Utah State University and a bachelor's degree in city and regional planning.
During his tenure, Martin has overseen creation and adoption of a new town comprehensive plan; a land-use code revision; infrastructure development, including the new police station and upgrades to Dry Creek Park; and Hayden's transition to a home rule municipality.
Hayden Town Council member Chuck Grobe was mayor when Martin was hired.
Grobe said Martin's hiring was a great decision by the council, and he doesn't want Martin to go.
"I just think he's been doing a great job," Grobe said. "I'd like to keep him around as long as possible. He's a good attribute to the town. He's a good family man and active in what goes on in and around Hayden in addition to government. He's a good asset to the area."
Because he was in the last year of his contract, Martin said he told Town Council members that he would explore other opportunities. Martin said his interest in other positions isn't a tool for negotiating a better contract with Hayden.
His current annual salary is $82,658. That figure doesn't include benefits.
Camp Verde is an attractive position for similar reasons that Hayden was six years ago, Martin said. In addition to the appeal of a larger town — Camp Verde has fewer than 11,000 residents and is located 86 miles north of Phoenix — Martin said the job would allow him to use his planning background.
He interviewed in Camp Verde last Friday. Martin said he and his wife, Ann, enjoyed their visit. But he said they also like living in Hayden and like the schools. The Martins have two children, 7-year-old Michael and 5-year-old McKenna.
Martin said he's looking forward to hearing back from Camp Verde. He said if things work out there, he would be tempted to leave. But if they don't, Martin said, he wouldn't be disappointed to remain in Hayden.
"I'd like what I've done here to be replicated somewhere else," he said. "Camp Verde might be the place to do that."
Martin said he has a draft of a new three-year contract from Hayden.
The Town Council will review the draft in executive session during its meeting Thursday.
According to the Verde Independent newspaper, selection is expected before Camp Verde Town Council's July 7 meeting.

Redskins' Robert Griffin III jokes about NFL's $10K T-shirt fine
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) -- At least Robert Griffin III can laugh about his latest run-in with the NFL's fashion police.
The Washington Redskins quarterback cracked a joke Friday about his $10,000 fine for wearing an "Operation Patience'' T-shirt before a preseason game.
Griffin was accepting the team's offensive player of the year award at the Redskins' annual Welcome Home Luncheon. He was introduced shortly after an auction that raised money for charity.
"Those auctioneers did a good job,'' Griffin told the crowd. "I would've given them 10 grand, but the NFL took it away from me this week.''
Griffin adopted "Operation Patience'' as his slogan as he slowly increased his practice work during training camp after major knee surgery. He wore a white T-shirt with those words in capital burgundy letters as he warmed up before Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The NFL said the T-shirt was "unauthorized apparel.''
It was the third time Griffin has run afoul of the NFL's dress code. He was warned for covering up the Nike swoosh on his official team warm-up shirt before the regular season opener last year, then he was fined $10,000 for wearing Adidas apparel at a news conference after the Redskins played the Cleveland Browns in December.
Griffin has a sponsorship deal with Adidas, but the league has an agreement with Nike.
Griffin dressed in a suit and tie to collect his award Friday - no clothing controversies this time. He did refer to another slogan he's been using recently: "Coaches coach, players play,'' his philosophy for resolving his disagreements with coach Mike Shanahan over how much he should be allowed to practice.
"Coaches coach, players play, and all of us together, we can do great things,'' Griffin said. "We can go win championships, and that's what we're planning on doing.''

"Morgan Stanley's economics team led by Joachim Fels just raised its estimate for 2012 global GDP growth to 3.7 percent from 3.5 percent.
The primary reason for this was a huge upward revision in their China GDP estimate.
From their note to clients:
In China, where our previous above-consensus forecast of 8.4% 2012 GDP growth had become (published) consensus in recent months, we raise our forecast to 9.0%, one of the highest in the Street. As Helen Qiao and her China team explain in more detail in a companion note, this is essentially a call on additional macro stimulus being implemented in the very near term in response to somewhat disappointing results during the first few months of the year. In addition to further RRR cuts, OMO and window guidance intensification, we expect the government to support loan demand by lowering the benchmark interest rate by 25bp at least once, resuming infrastructure investment projects, as well as promoting first-time home purchase and developers' 'regular commodity housing' construction to smooth the cycle.
Fels says that Morgan Stanley also upped its growth estimate for Japan.
In Japan, the upward revision from 1.1% to 1.8% largely reflects a better-than- expected ramp into the year and stronger capex assumptions.
But things aren't completely rosy. Fels warns that risks are heavily skewed to the down side.
Risks remain skewed to the downside… with old (potential political gridlock leading to fiscal tightening next year in the US, or a euro crisis) and new (oil price) hazards each being serious enough to potentially derail the recovery: the distance between our bear case and our base case for global growth is 1pp, twice the distance between base and bull."

Welcome all, to the recruitment topic for the legendary clan, the Miners and Smithers of RuneScape. A clan dedicated to the game, with knowledge, skill and compassion within our ranks.
We have existed for years, since August 28, 2003, and have adapted, changed and evolved to accommodate the game we have all come to love. In this time much has changed, from the evolution of RuneScape Classic to Runescape 2 to RuneScape HD to Runescape 3, the Evolution of Combat, new skills being released, the removal and reintroduction of free trade and the Wilderness - we have seen and experienced it all.
The MaSoRS is a skilling and community clan, specialising in Mining and Smithing. We offer a friendly and laid back community centred around our clanchat and forums, and events ranging from skilling competitions to monster hunting to mass conga lines. You don't have to attend events; in fact many members just join our clan to be in our thriving community!
We are famous for our multimillion - and multi billion GP drop parties. Over the years, we have given away many rares, even a few party hats, and god knows how many sets of rune. During our latest party in August 2011, over 1.5 billion GP was dropped, including a Santa Hat and Blue H'ween mask, and 3,000 sets of rune armour. Here's a video showing one of our many drop parties:
More videos of our drop parties can be found here.
We are so much more than a simple clan, we have no affixed general trademark, we are what we are, a group of friends from all over the world, more so a community, that aids each other, offers support and friendship, and offers discussions on any topic imaginable in our active clanchat and forums. All members are encouraged to lead their own events and contribute to the community. If a member has a suggestion, we value their opinions. Every member matters.
And so it is my pleasure entirely to offer to you good folks the opportunity to become part of the great RuneScape clan MaSoRS, providing you have our relatively low standards for acceptance and abide by the rules.
What we offer:
- Very experienced members who offer great knowledge on the game (especially Mining and Smithing)
- A Tier 7 Clan Citadel
- A thriving and friendly community
- Events relating to new releases, or popular events that have worked well in the past
- IPB3 forums, with plenty of different categories for different subjects, from serious debates to fun forum games
- A CC channel for laughter, serious discussions, and everything else!
- 60 Mining and 50 Smithing OR
- 85 Mining or Smithing
- General decency and kindness, and the ability to abide by our simple clan rules
We have no one clan rule.
Here are some of the pictures and memories we have gathered over the years:

After announcing that the Surface RT and Surface Pro would be available in more countries last month, the former is finally going on sale in Singapore this Friday.
Elsewhere, Microsoft has yesterday started selling the Surface Pro in China (the country has gotten the Surface RT since late October last year). Interestingly, as noted by Windows Phone Central, in addition to the 128GB version Surface Pro, Microsoft has introduced two new variants of the higher-end tablet just for the Chinese market, which can be seen on the company's online store at Tmall.com. Besides the storage capacity difference (64 vs. 128GB), this new 'Surface Chinese' only supports the Chinese language, runs Windows 8 (the core version) instead of Windows 8 Pro, and comes pre-installed with a full version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 (the regular Surface Pro comes with a one-month trial of Office 365 Home Premium).
It's unlikely that we'll see such Surface Pro variants when the tablet finally lands in Singapore, but for users who don't need the advanced features in Windows 8 Pro (such as encryption, virtualization, PC management, and domain connectivity features), being able to exchange that for a perpetually-licensed edition of Office 2013 does sound very appealing.

2004 Casal dos Prazeres Douro Xara
Deep reddish color, with marroon tinge. Nose shows some violet that gives way to blackberry, smoke and light minerals. In the mouth the tannins are strong with a rich medium acidity. Dried out and showing only simple fruit the nose really is the star of the show while the palate lacks a bit of pizazz. Cherry and some spices are the main flavors. In the end a nice wine that just needed a bit more richness on the palate to become a stunning wine.

POWERbreathe uses the basic principles of resistance training. Just as you might use weights to strengthen your arm muscles, breathing in through POWERbreathe against the heavy, variable resistance makes your breathing muscles work harder - thereby increasing their strength and endurance.
Within a few days of using this drug-free, easy-to-use hand-held device, your breathing muscles will feel stronger; within 3-weeks you'll feel less breathless; and within 4 weeks activities, exercise and sports will feel easier.
Simply put the nose-clip on so that it pushes your nostrils together and then breathe in through the POWERbreathe (use a little extra effort than you would to breathe normally), and the device will do the rest. Improvement in breathing efficiency can be seen in as little as 4-weeks. Comes with full instructions.
Your POWERbreathe will be exposed to saliva during use. We recommend that a few times a week your POWERbreathe should be soaked in warm water for about 10 minutes (see the POWERbreathe Manual for full details), but once a week POWERbreathe should be soaked in a mild cleansing solution instead of water, using the POWERbreathe Cleansing Tablets - only 1 tablet is required each time.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of POWERbreathe, or you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor. Inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training), such as training with POWERbreathe, is not recommended for patients with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that was not due to traumatic injury e.g. broken rib), as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Following a traumatic pneumothorax and/or broken rib, POWERbreathe should not be used prior to full recovery. Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for asthma patients who have low symptom perception and who suffer from frequent sever exacerbations. Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for anyone who has recently experienced a perforated eardrum. Anyone who is under the age of 16 should only use POWERbreathe with supervision from an adult.
Ideal for: Elite athletes and people who are in top physical condition who lead a very physically demanding lifestyle, whether professionally or socially.

Allosauroids Temporal range: Middle Jurassic–Late Cretaceous, 175.6–70 Ma |

Subgroups[1] | |
Allosauroidea is a superfamily or clade of theropod dinosaurs which contains four families — the Metriacanthosauridae, Allosauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, and Neovenatoridae. The oldest-known allosauroid, Shidaisaurus jinae, appeared in the early Middle Jurassic (probably Bajocian stage) of China. The last known definitive surviving members of the group died out around 93 million years ago in Asia (Shaochilong) and South America (Mapusaurus), though the megaraptorans, including the late-surviving Orkoraptor of the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage), may belong to the group as well. Additional, but highly fragmentary, remains probably belonging to carcharodontosaurids have been found from the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary (70-66 Ma ago) in Brazil.[2] Allosauroids had long, narrow skulls, large orbits, three-fingered hands, and usually had "horns" or ornamental crests on their heads. The most famous and best understood allosauroid is the North American genus Allosaurus.
The clade Allosauroidea was originally proposed by Phil Currie and Zhao (1993; p. 2079), and later used as an undefined stem-based taxon by Paul Sereno (1997). Sereno (1998; p. 64) was the first to provide a stem-based definition for the Allosauroidea, defining the clade as "All neotetanurans closer to Allosaurus than to Neornithes." Kevin Padian (2007) used a node-based definition, defined the Allosauroidea as Allosaurus, Sinraptor, their most recent common ancestor, and all of its descendants. Thomas R. Holtz and colleagues (2004; p. 100) and Phil Currie and Ken Carpenter (2000), among others, have followed this node-based definition. However, in some analyses (such as Currie & Carpenter, 2000), the placement of the carcharodontosaurids relative to the allosaurids and sinraptorids is uncertain, and therefore it is uncertain whether or not they are allosauroids (Currie & Carpenter, 2000).
The cladogram presented here is simplified after the 2012 analysis by Carrano, Benson and Sampson after the exclusion of three "wildcard" taxa Poekilopleuron, Xuanhanosaurus and Streptospondylus.[1]
Allosauroidea |
CPT-1980 is the museum catalog number for an isolated, 9.83 centimetres (3.87 in), allosauroid tooth crown currently housed at the Museo Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel.[3] In 2009, the tooth was compared to another allosauroid tooth from Portugal that measured 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in). Analysis led to the conclusion that CPT-1980 is the largest theropod tooth ever discovered in Spain. This tooth was discovered by locals near Riodeva, Teruel in the Villar del Arzobispo Formation, more specifically known as RD-39. The rocks have been dated to the Tithonian-Berriasian stages (Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous).[3]

An advanced form of hydroponics, aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment rather than soil. Aeroponic systems use water, liquid nutrients and a soilless growing medium to quickly and efficiently grow more colorful, tastier, better smelling and incredibly nutritious produce.
Research found that—compared to traditional growing methods—aeroponic technology:
Because there's no dirt, there's also no digging or weeding. Plus, you don't have to worry about ground pests or contaminated soil. And did we mention Tower Garden's vertical design uses 90% less space? That means you can grow food in some pretty interesting places.
You'll start seedlings using the kit we ship with every Tower Garden (unless you decide to buy seedlings). And when your seedlings are ready—usually about three weeks after germination—you'll plant them in your Tower Garden.
Instead of soil, Tower Garden plants grow in a medium called rockwool, which provides plant roots with oxygen and consistent moisture, encouraging rapid, healthy growth.
Tower Garden Mineral Blend, our proprietary plant food, powers Tower Garden. Containing the pure earth minerals essential to healthy plant development, the Mineral Blend provides an all-natural "shortcut" for plants, which typically must source nutrients from decomposing organic matter in soil. The result is greater nutrient uptake and superior growth for a range of plants.
You'll fill the 20-gallon reservoir at the base of your Tower Garden with a mixture of Mineral Blend and water.
A low-wattage, submersible pump in the reservoir pushes the nutrient solution to the top of the Tower Garden through a small central pipe. The nutrient solution then drips down the inside of the Tower Garden, evenly cascading over the exposed plant roots.
A timer ensures this process repeats continuously—usually in 15-minute increments—to deliver the ideal amount of oxygen, water and nutrients to plants at the perfect time.
Aside from a few minor maintenance tasks, such as checking water levels and cleaning the pump filter, Tower Garden will take care of itself. And in just a few short weeks, you'll be enjoying abundant homegrown produce, harvested at its peak (so you can be at yours).
Still have questions about how Tower Garden works? Visit the FAQs.

Description of Special Request ICESat/GLAS Files
Data from the ICESat/GLAS Data Subsetter is referred to as special request data. The data package you receive from the subsetter will contain a combination of various file types. The name for each file type begins with a special 2- or 3-character prefix, followed by the product identification number (01-15). You only need files beginning with GLA
, which are the data files. All file types are described in the following table.
Prefix | Description |
The data file in scaled integer binary format. |
The bin file lists the geographic bins that the product traverses and the unique index numbers within the product that go through that bin. One bin file is required for each product. BNA is for altimetry data; BNL is for atmosphere (lidar) data. See BN file byte description. |
The georeference file allows direct access to the start of each bin in the bin file. One georeference file is required for each bin file. GRA is for altimetry data; GRL is for atmosphere (lidar) data. See GR file byte description. |
The pass file lists the passes present in the product file. One pass file is required for each product file. See PS file byte description. |
The unique index file correlates the physical data record numbers with the unique index numbers in a product file. One unique index file is required for each product file. See UR file byte description. |
The file naming convention for data files (GLA*) is illustrated in the following example:
= | Product ID |
03022023 |
= | Date (yymmddhh) of the beginning of the first granule that is used to create the subset |
r1069 |
= | Special request number (r indicates this is a special request) |
428 |
= | YXX release number See ICESat/GLAS YXX Release Numbers for more information about the release number in file names. |
L1 | = | Laser identifier (laser 1 in this example) |
= | Unique product set ID number |
01 |
= | "Part number" of file so multiple files can be created if a single file will exceed the 2 GB file size limit |
00 |
= | Version of this file (starting with 00) |

This is my "go-to" pork tenderloin recipe. It's pretty foolproof and sure to be a hit with all-ENJOY!
I'm pretty happy with the time change from last week. I can actually start taking pictures of dinner dishes again--Yay!!
I served this up with some roasted "teeny-tiny" baby potatoes and my daughter's favorite veggie, brussel sprouts!
1⁄2 cups olive oil
1⁄3 cup soy sauce
1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp dry mustard
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1-lb. pork tenderloin (silver skin removed)
Combine all marinade ingredients and reserve 2-3 Tbsp. Place the pork tenderloin and marinade in a Ziplock bag and let marinate for at least 3-4 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear each side of tenderloin for 2-3 minutes. Place in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes or until the meat has reached 160 degrees. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Pan Sauce:
Pan scrapings from pork tenderloin
1/2 cup of chicken broth
2-3 tbsp of pork marinade (thoroughly mixed)
1-2 tsp butter
Meanwhile, place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Add the chicken broth and scrape up all the browned pieces from the bottom of the pan. Add the marinade and let it boil down for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter and remove from heat stirring until butter has melted. Pour over the pork tenderloin.

I pinned this to Pinterest earlier this week, and it worked fine. However, today when I tried to click through to the recipe from my own pin (and a whole lot of other peoples' as well), I got an error reading "Users have reported that this links to spam or other inappropriate content." Any idea why this would be? You may want to contact Pinterest, because I'm guessing this means your other recipes will throw the same error.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know. I was not able to find to find the Spam pin but if you do you should report it so pinerest can remove it from their site. I reported this too...apparently it's becoming a big problem on Pinterest. Very frustrating...thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to trying this, but wanted to let you know I had the same problem with the Pinterest link. More than that, it blocks me from being able to repost the recipe due to 'inappropriate content or spam'. Just wanted to let you know, and I've noted your blog so I can at least get here directly!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe was a huge success! Thank you! My friend also had a problem linking to this page through Pinterest using the same link that I had used earlier in the week, so it is occurring with pins that didn't start out as spam but now are no longer working. I repinned it as an original pin. I am so glad I remembered the name of your blog or I may not have been able to find it again. Hope that everything gets resolved soon, because this recipe is a keeper!!
ReplyDeleteJust made this and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!! the pork tenderloin I bought was packaged by 2 lbs and had 2 pieces inside. I baked them both so of course it took longer - around 1 hour. Baked some new potatoes on the side of them as well. Sooooo good! thanks for the recipe, will definitelly make again!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I use boneless country style ribs instead of tenderloin do you think it would still work?
ReplyDeleteThis is probably a dumb question, but I'm new to the cooking game! (outside of Kraft mac&cheese or scrambled eggs. :P) when you put it in the oven, are you baking it in the skillet & then making the sauce while it's resting? Or do you bake it in something different & make the sauce towards the end? This sounds delish, can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteI Love Love Love this recipe!!! Awesome Flavor!!! The problem is...there is never any leftovers for me to take for lunch the following day! I have never seen my family enjoy a meal as much as when I made this. I'm going to try the marinade on a larger cut of meat just to see if I can get me a doggie bag!
ReplyDeleteMade this today and my husband ate it till he was sick! It was so good, juicy, and tender. I made the marinade exactly like the recipe, except I didnt have enough soy sauce so I substituted Dale's to make up the rest of the 1/3 cup. I also let it marinade in the frig for two days(mainly because we went out of town). Also, we didnt pan sear or bake, we put on grill for 25 minutes. It was terrific.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent!! I may try baking it 'in' the marinade next time though. I wouldn't say it was dry, but it wasn't as moist as it could have been. I also doubled the recipe and used 2 loins and let them marinade over night. (I may have to do 3 next time though, as I have a constantly hungry 16 yr. old son...lol). I will definately be making this again, and recommending it to others.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI made it several times "in" the marinade, and many times as the recipe is written (not in the marinade) and we all MUCH preferred it not in the marinade! The meat not in the marinade was as moist as could be (actually more moist than the one in the marinade!). I think the bigger difference between moist and not moist meat lies in the amount of cooking time. When we cooked it closer to 30 minutes (35 minutes max) the meat was moist and tender. But when we cooked it 40 minutes, the meat dried out (even in the marinade). The other big difference was marinating it overnight. When we marinated it only for a few hours, the meat was less moist than when we marinated it 24 hours, turning it over midway...
Someone has already asked Maria if she's tried this in a crockpot and she hasn't, but does anyone have an opinion on how it would turn out if you just toss the whole batch of marinade, along with the pork tenderloin, into a crockpot and let it go? Would it be too strong?
ReplyDeleteRepliesCan easily be made in the crockpot, marinated over night , put in the pot with the chicken stock, butter combo in the recipe with a few tbsp if marinade on low 5-6 hrs, Very Good
DeleteI did this - just dumped it all in the crockpot. i did not premarinate, sear, or do anything else. just took the pork loins out of the fridge and put them in the crockpot with the marinade in the recipe. it was still very good BUT i think it would have been a lot better baked.
Deletepork tenderloin is really much too lean to do in the crockpot and cooks very quickly in the oven or even panroasted. It's done at 145 degrees and let rest a few minutes.
Can you please tell me how to roast the baby potatoes?
Also, I made this and it was wonderful, but I only cooked it 30 minutes (as in your original recipe). It came out perfectly at 30 minutes--it definitely would have been overcooked if I'd left it in the full 40 minutes! Just goes to show how our individual ovens really can vary. Thanks for a great recipe, and I'd love to know how you made your potatoes because they look great in your photo!Does it taste like mustard at all? I'm not a fan and would like a substitute or do you think I can just leave it out?
ReplyDeleteRepliesNo, not mustardy at all. Keep the mustard powder in.
DeleteWith a recipe like this, you won't even taste the ground mustard; It'll just add a little zing to the recipe.
I'm trying the recipe tonight for my family although I doubled it since the going consensus is that one just wasn't enough of this goodness.
Thank you!!
This recipe looks amazing!!!but no real reason to cook to 160. It also raises 10 degrees as it rests. Trichinosis is killed at 132 degrees F. so you can cook pork to med. rare if you wish.. although there have been no cases of Trichinosis since WW2 due to changes in the way pork is raised/fed. Most chefs say 140 is the temp to shoot for. the usda recommends 145, with a 3 minute rest time, but that would not allow for the juices to redistribute. All that being said, I can't wait to try your recipe!! thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make this as a meal to take to another family....does it do well reheated? How would you suggest doing that so that it would be best for them?
ThanksI found this post though Pinterest. The photo was so beautiful that I just had to come here to read the recipe! Love it! And love your site :-).
I would like to invite you to share this post (and your other posts :-) ) on a new photo based recipe sharing site that launched in May. The idea is simple: all recipe photographs are published within minutes of submission. And, of course, the images link back to the author's site.
It's called RecipeNewZ (with Z) - http://recipenewz.com
I hope you get a chance to visit and to share some of your delicious posts with our viewers. It would be a pleasure to have you on board :-)I just used the marinade for crockpot chicken, marinade and all. I served it with roasted potatoes, fresh baked bread and turnips, sooo yummmmy!
ReplyDeleteI made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! We had mashed potatoes for the juice...this is definitely fit to serve your most important guests - like family!!!
ReplyDeleteis there a print button I'm missing somewhere. don't want to print all the comments, just want the recipe!
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest and it looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your recipe and for answering all those questions...made it so I didn't have to ask!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to make my inexperience in the kitchen apparent, but I have a question: Do you put the pan sauce on the meat BEFORE cooking it in the oven? I originally read it as a sauce to be served over the meat after it's cooked, but now I'm second guessing.
ReplyDeleteI want to make this but don't have red wine vinegar. Is there a something you could suggest instead, or should I run out and buy some? I don't ever use it any cooking.
ReplyDeleteOkay.... just a couple of questions. I am going to make this tonight! Love all the positive comments! Since I have a two pound tenderloin, do I double everything? About how many two pounds will serve? Also, when you sear the tenderloin, do you put all the marinade from the bag in it as well or do you add it when you bake it in the oven? I understand you use the same pan in the oven as the one you seared it in? No covering of the loin? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was not sure if that last post made it because I exited out of this. Just a couple of questions to this great sounding recipe... First if I have a 2 lb tenderloin, do I need to double everything? Also when I sear the loin, do I dump all the marinade from the bag as well or do I just add it when I bake it in the oven? I use the same pan I seared it in when I bake it? And finally, I don't cover it while baking? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaking this for a second time tonight. Just a "frugal" tip if you want more pan sauce, I was told by a chef (and I have read it over and over online) unlike apoultry marinade a pork or beef one can be used to turn in a sauce. So don't discard the marinade; instead boil it for atleat 5 minutes to kill the bacteria. I do it all the time and so far we've been OK....lol!! But I get those that rather not take the chance but like I said it seems to be the norm when researched. Can't wait for dinner tonight!!!
ReplyDeleteI found your recipe on Pinterest. I nearly quadrupled it for a very large roast. I pulled it out of the oven at 160degrees and let it rest for ten or so minutes. It was the tastiest and most moist pork I have ever roasted. It is going in my permanent file. Thank You!!
ReplyDeleteMade last night and was a big hit! My 265 lb (football player) 17 yr old ate a whole pork tenderloin by himself. (luckily I made 2.) As he left for school this morning he asked what we were having for dinner tonight and when I said chicken he asked if I could cook it in the same sauce. Trying it with chicken tonight! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteIt was a hit. I made it with roasted baby potatoes, parsnip and carrots, also i made roasted asparagus with Parmesan cheese. The pork was very tender and it cook less then 30 minutes since i used a convection oven. I did use a probe and set it for 140 since i like my pork med well. I like to eat a lot of pork loin and this is a keeper. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteUhm does anyone know if I can marinade it while it thaws? It's almost fully thawed and I have a restless group so if anyone can get back to me that'd be awesome thanks! :)
ReplyDeletePerfectly cooked Pork Tenderloin every time.
Sear each side over medium high heat, 2 minutes a side (I use a cast iron skillet). Place skillet in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest on a serving plate (covered in tin foil) for 10 minutes before slicing. Do NOT skip the resting as the pork will continue to cook a bit throughout this process.
Tenderloin will be ever so slightly pink, which is perfectly fine to eat no matter what the food safety nazi's will try to tell you. I got this cooking method from Ina Garten of Food Network. It has worked perfectly every time if followed properly.
Maria, I look forward to trying your marinade and pan sauce as a change of pace as Ina's does not have a pan sauce and the marinade is different. Thanks for sharing!- Stephanie CriscoWednesday, January 23, 2013 at 7:58:00 PM EST
This was so delicious! My husband loved it! I turned my pork loin into little pork medallions but the star of the dinner was the awesome marinade and pan sauce... yum yum and yum. Thanks for a new staple in my family meals!
ReplyDelete Made this for dinner today in the crock pot. I like my tenderloin about falling apart. I just poured the marinade mixture into the crock pot with the tenderloin (more than 3#) and let it cook for 4-5 hours. I would use a little less oil next time. But the flavors of the sauce were delicious different. I made a gravy of it. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a skillet that goes from stove top to oven. Do I just make sauce in skillet I use to sear? Help! It's marinating right now.
ReplyDeleteI am very new to cooking pork. I've never been a big fan of it but my boyfriend and I saw this and we really wanna try it. This might be a dumb question but i have some pork chops in the freezer. would it be ok to sub those for the pork tenderloin or would it not work? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe great pork. I found the sauce to be a lil salty though. Could I cut down the soy sauce, or get maybe a low sodium broth? Other than that a perfect pork.
ReplyDeleteThe whole family LOVES this recipe, yes including all three kids! They always ask for it now. I bought the pork loins from Costco and made enough marinade to freeze one in the bag. Of course reserved the marinade for the first one, but forgot to reserve some and freeze for the 2nd. I guess next time I could do this in a separate container or baggy. Do you think once defrosted I could use some of the marinade for the sauce even though it has been sitting with the meat?
ReplyDelete- rebecca ayalaTuesday, February 26, 2013 at 4:55:00 PM EST
Hello, I have a couple questions for you. When you sear the tenderloin do you use any butter or oil? And also, do you reserve the pan sauce and pour it on after cooking? Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be added during cooking. Thank you!!!
ReplyDelete I'm going to make this for a dinner get together with my neighbors. I was wondering if it would be ok to through in baby potatoes with the roast while it cooks? Do you think it will affect the cooking time too much?
ReplyDeletePinned this a couple of weeks ago. Have made it 3 times since. Hubby wants to try it with turkey breast today, so that's what I'm doing. You've definitely created a winner!! Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI for those wanting to print just therecipe and not all the other stuff, go to the upper left of the page where it says "File" click on that, the drop down will give you an option "Print Preview". Click on that then you can see just which page/pages has the recipe and directions on them and then click on "Print"- when the print box comes up, choose just the page numbers you need.
ReplyDeleteHave my meat marinating right now to make for the hubby when he gets back into town tomorrow night. He works in the oilfield two weeks at a time so I'm excited to have this ready for him when he gets in! I forgot to reserve part of the marinade, but hope it will be fine without. I plan to make it with potatoes and asparagus. Is it better to make potatoes separately or throw them in same pan as the meat to cook with juices? And any suggestions.for the asparagus?
ReplyDeleteJust had this for dinner and it was great! The pan sauce & marinade are wonderful. Thanks so much :)

Super Delicioso! Made this with a 4 lb tenderloin and tripled the marinade. It came out really great, smelled incredible. The pan sauce really makes the dish, the flavors are amazing. I could make a dinner out of the sauce and French bread alone! Thanks for the great recipe, my husband and kiddos loved it!
ReplyDelete Making this tonight! I had printed out the recipe and pinned it but remembered some comments about baking (or not baking) the tenderloin in the marinade. When I went back to my pin I too got the spam message. Fortunately I was able to "track you down" with Google and got the info I needed. Thought you'd want to know about the spam message. Just waiting for hubby to walk through the door and smell the amazing aromas in the house. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
This is such a hit with our family everyone loves it, I am make a pork roast tomorrow, but I don't have red wine vinegar do you think regular vinegar would work?Sounds delicious, but I guess I have never cooked anything in such a small amount. 1 lb. would hardly fill one person in my household let alone the family. My first glance at the recipe was wow finally a recipe for a larger family until I realized it was for 1 lb. instead of 11 lbs. Am marinating a larger roast now and hope all goes well with the larger cut. Thanks or the recipe!

Sample size is complex. It's not as simple as saying, "this percent of the total number of women†There is the largest group: registrants. There is the subset of women. There is the sample size for a particular form or forms, depending on what data I'm analyzing; not everyone chooses to complete every form. The women's data used 3 forms. And in some cases a particular question's sample size may differ from its form's sample, since some questions only appear when a previous response has been recorded. (You don't get to indicate HOW you were made to feel unwelcome till you've 1. said that you've been involved in secularism AND 2. said you felt unwelcome at some point.)

Can you be more specific? I'm a resident of Belfast and I'm not sure how the info in the census should apply.
Dave2 wrote:If a notion of what is generally acceptable as a policy for cons is a good idea (and I'm not decided on the issue myself) it may be better to worry less about what is happening and just cover the popular points such policies tend to cover for other cons, events and places where men and women gather to have fun (I think even the more sensitive participants agree that the purpose of the cons is to have fun).

our next sneak peek comes to us from amy salvini-swanson, who makes up half the team behind greenwich letterpress based out of greenwich village, nyc. i love that she's not afraid to have fun with prints and patterns that weave their way into her fun and welcoming home. don't miss the rest of the peek after the jump (with more images) and you can find all of our fantastic homes right here! [thanks, amy!] –anne
[above: Being a renter (especially in NYC) has it's pros and cons, one big con at least for me is not being able to put up wallpaper. So in order to battle my white walls I tend to purchase items with bold patterns and bright colors. The rug is from Anthropologie. The Faux Bois Light is from 2modern. Log Pillow is from My Imaginary Boyfriend. I used it as a prop for my Log Lady costume last year.
The posters were a present from my parents for our first anniversary (Paper). We found them in a really amazing antique store in Paris. I had been on the hunt for vintage school posters for years and was over the moon when we came across them. My Mom made the curtains for us using Amy Butler fabric, she's quite crafty. The table runner is from Velocity Art and Design.
Owning a store certainly has it's perks. So I do get to take a lot of goodies home that we carry at the shop. I actually have to restrain myself from taking a lot more. These Cavallini posters and Yee-Haw Industries calendar are good examples.
My husband always tells me that if I had my way I would make our apartment into a diorama from the Museum of Natural History. Oh if only to dream. So yes I have a thing for anything with an animal on it. Since I have a ton of clipart books I printed the images on the wall on my inkjet at home. The frames are from Ikea, don't know what I would do without the Ikea frame section. Couch is from Room and Board.
CLICK HERE for the rest of amy's sneak peek (including additional, full-sized images) after the jump!
My Mom actually made this quilt by hand, if you can imagine. It took her over 2 years!. . . My sister and husband both bought this for me for Christmas, which I thought was an odd coincidence. So now my sister had one! It's pretty rad and all drawn by hand. I am a sucker for anything with an owl.
I also have been collecting matches for years. They're a little harder to come by these days since most places don't allow smoking.
I have also been collecting snow globes for years. The cheesier the better. Unfortunately I lost a bunch of them when my cat decided that he wanted to get a closer look at the shelf. Thanks Jarvis!
This cart was originally used for sorting shoes at an old factory. You can still see the shoe sizes on the front. It's great because it's on wheels.
Greenwich Letterpress is a great store–I was actually planning on stopping in later this week (if the weather clears up). Amazing apartment too, I love all of the little collections.
What a cool apartment – I just love the assortment of things. I'd make my home into the museum of natural history, too, if my husband would let me :)
The art above the couch reminds me a bit of Paper Sparrow's work:
papersparrow.etsy.com -
I love the way you've organized everything– the hallway pic with the type is so cute.
I love the animal prints. They are so cute. I have that white cushion with the stitched colours from Ikea too! Such good value but so so nice.
I love the letters in the frame too. Really lovely.xx
Even without any wallpaper, I love all the color! Is there any chance you could tell me where your yellow + white pillow cases came from. Or if they were made by hand, could you tell me the fabric?
I love Greenwich Letterpress. I'm actually going there to pick out birth announcements this week. Awesome apartment!
Okay, I need to know where the bunny candlesticks on the table came from!!! I adore bunnies <3
Very cute and colorful place by the way!
Wow! Love your place Amy! I also have a collection of booze, I mean snowglobes!
Greenwich Letterpress rules!
wonderful space with beautiful things!
they have a cloche on the bookshelf. -
so great to see your apartment. i am in love with your store, and now i see where it gets all its style from. and i too am a big lover of animal stuff so have to try and restrain myself — not always so easy!
I love the old school posters in the dining area & the matchbook collection. It's always nice to see different ways of displaying collections (I have way to many collections myself!)
I too love animals. Love the way it brings color and life to the great functionality of a new york appartment. Way to go!
what couch is that from room and board? I love it!
Where did you find that little table with metal legs and wood top that has one little lamp on it next to the container of magazines? I love it.
Love when you can visit a friend and always find a treasure you've never spotted before….Bet that happens here all the time!
Amy- being familiar with GLP, it's so nice to see your personal space! What a lovely apartment… Your antique clock is amazing. Does it still work and where did you get it?!
This house is full of all the things I like!! this is my favourite over all!!
Wanted to answer a few questions for ya.
-The yellow-white pillowcases are from Dwell.
-I really wish I knew were the rabbit candlesticks were from, they were a gift. I should investigate!
-The wood and metal nesting tables are from a company called Roost.
-Hi Jordan! The clock does work, my husbands Great Uncle actually made it! Saw your place on here, it is so awesome.
Thanks again everyone for your really sweet comments they made my day! -
Hi Amy — your home has such a wonderful, whimsical feel. And I too am obsessed with vintage school posters. I'm actually going to Paris in a few weeks – do you remember the name of that antique store where you got yours? Thanks!!
Hoooooooow beautiful :D :D :D
Love this, really would love a set of those old wooden letter stamps.
Amy is one stylish gal! I'm not surprised. Their store is so fabulous, that it makes sense to me that their store is, too :)
I am in love with the rug in the first photo-may I ask where it came from? :)
Lovely home! -
I love the clock with the owls! Where did you get that!!!
Thanks so much…cool home!!! -
I love the store and this apt!!!! So cute! The rug is beautiful, owl clock is awesome and animal prints look perfect in her living room. I also have to say I'm not surprised, but it's so fun to see such a stylish and comfortable space :)
just… fantastic!
