a shop announcement
This has been a very busy month. Sales in the shop have slowed down since Christmas, which I'm ok with because it was so busy last month, I could barely handle it. This month though, I'm getting ready for a big sale. I'm really excited to be featured on this site but it means I have a whole lot of work to do. I'm putting my shop on (working) vacation for a while starting tomorrow so I can get things done.
So...if you want to get an order in, now is the time to do it!
I'm excited for what coming up in the next couple weeks, but I will also have to hibernate to get everything done. Might be time to hire some help I think.

On the Street…..ReMix at Ralph Lauren
I know this photo is over at Men.Style.com but it is easily my favorite look of the season.
I love the formality of the DB with the worn jeans and velvet slippers. The shape of the DB is perfect.
This is a really inspiring image to me, not because I would want to wear the exact same thing – but it makes me think of how I would do it slightly differently and with the clothes I already have in my closet.
I have a navy cashmere single-breasted jacket, similarly worn jeans and brown slip-on loafers – I already own these elements, I just haven't put them together quite this way.
It sounds so simple, but when you have a busy life you often just grab the looks that you already know work for you. Little visual reminders like this help me to mentally reorganize my closet.

I hope you recognize Fay from this London shot I took back in May – because I didn't.
When I took this shot I had no idea that the bowtie-collar-dickie was an accessory.
To me, that is truly inventive and a great, low-cost way to change up lots of different looks.
Now I am curious to see what she has up her sleeve for the rest of the week (no pressure Fay)

Fashion Week Starts Today
New York Fashion Week starts today so starting tomorrow I will posting quite a bit more than I did in August.
Let the fun begin.

On the Street…..After Mac, West Village
Like I mentioned yesterday, the streets of New York are overflowing with young ladies in print dresses. Usually the fit of these dresses are quite good- but the prints, unfortunately, are often very unfortunate.
It had reached a point where I really started to believe that maybe a young lady couldn't buy a great print without spending a lot of money.
However yesterday I saw this young woman leaving the Mac store on 14th with her new purchases. The fit of the dress is obviously great, but I was really struck by the beauty and sophistication of the print. My faith in Summer dresses was renewed when she told me she bought the dress at a flea market for $20.
This is one of those times when I ponder the question of quality vs. appearance.
I'm guessing that for $20 the dress is not silk. I didn't inspect it super closely but the stitching is probably fine. I'm trying to imagine what you could do to the dress technically to justify a higher price, because visually it looks perfect.
For example, if the dress had a higher stitches-per-inch ratio would that make any difference to you?
If the dress was all silk would you happily pay more? It is easy and chic to say yes – but lets be honest, a dress like this is not an investment piece. If you can get two Summers out of it then it has served you well.
So I guess the question is: "Is quality always worth paying for if the item functions fine the way it is?" (I think 'functions' is the key word there).

On the Street…..Little Bit of Sparkle, Soho
This dress is perfectly simple and breezy for a hot Summer day.
For me, the difference between her dress and the multitudes of other dresses on the street right now is that little bit of gold metallic sparkle in the stripe. It gave the fabric the little bit of depth that worked perfectly with/against the sheerness of the weave. This fabric is pretty common and not usually one of my favorites but here it looked so great.

I'm Oxford United's goalkeeper, and today I'll be starting my 12th season as a goalkeeper in the lower leagues. I began playing in goal as a kid for Stoke Lane, my local team in Bristol, and in 1995, when I was 13, I went to Bristol City. They released me that year because I was too small, and within a week I went over to Bristol Rovers, my boyhood club.
When I turned 16, I began a three-year apprenticeship at Rovers. This was the old system, before clubs opened academies to hothouse kids. My first wage as an apprentice was £42.50 a week, then £50 in the second year and £90 in the third. I was up at six every morning to get two buses across town to train. We had to clean the players' boots, the changing rooms, even the toilets. Not many players will do that today. I had to go to college, to do an A-level in leisure and tourism, in case I didn't make the grade; but at 18 I earned a one-year professional contract with Bristol Rovers, on £125 a week.
Your career does take some strange turns at this level. In that first season as a pro, I trained with the England under-18s – the likes of Jay Bothroyd [Queen's Park Rangers], Boaz Myhill [West Bromwich Albion] and Jermain Defoe [Tottenham Hotspur] – and things went well at Rovers until 2006. Then I dropped down two divisions, to Salisbury, in the Conference South; we won promotion to the Conference (National) straightaway – so I'd taken a step back to start going forward again.
Then I broke my metatarsal. I was on holiday, and I was coming out of the sea when I turned my foot over on a rock. I lost my number-one spot at Salisbury, and by the time I got fit again they were in financial difficulty, so they loaned me out to Northwich Victoria to reduce their wage bill. Northwich were in disarray, and the players didn't get paid for four months. I had a mortgage, and I was sitting there wondering where my next bit of money was coming from. Even the electricity bill was a worry. After four months of no money, we were contemplating getting changed before a game, then telling the chairman we weren't going out to play unless we got paid. The PFA [the players' union] were great: they stepped in and we got our money. Eventually, though, Northwich went into administration.
In the summer of 2009 I signed for Oxford, and we were promoted to division two last season – we beat York 3-1 at Wembley in the Conference play-offs. As a kid, I'd dreamed of playing at Wembley … I could barely take it all in.
I work a five-day week: we have three training sessions every day, and we get Sundays and Wednesdays off – and sometimes, if the gaffer's not happy, we're in seven days a week. I'm happy with my contract, and I'm secure: I can put money into savings and a pension. But players never reveal what they earn – it's too sensitive, and managers worry about players being poached.
The gulf in wages between the Premiership and the lower leagues doesn't reflect the gap in ability: the wages are miles apart, but the skill levels aren't. We don't get much in sponsorship money, so recognition means a lot: glove companies have asked me to wear their gloves for free, which is nice. In the non-league I had to fork out £40 for a pair, and I had to make them last. And last year I was voted player of the season by Oxford Utd supporters, so I get recognised in Tesco's now: I take time to talk to people who stop me for a chat – they're showing their appreciation, and they pay my wages.
Has football lost its magic? No, it's stronger than ever, especially at our level, and the fans are just as passionate as those in the Premiership.
I'm not thinking of a career after football. I hope to push on to a higher level, either with Oxford or another club, and I still want to play for England. My contract runs until I'm 31 – I'm 29 now – and I hope to be peaking then: keepers can do that. Why shouldn't I play until I'm 40?

Calif. Given Two More Years To Cut Prison Population
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Federal judges are giving California two more years to meet a court-ordered inmate population cap.
But in doing so, they are appointing a compliance officer who will release inmates early if the state fails to meet interim benchmarks or the final goal. Monday's order from a three-judge panel delays an April deadline to reduce the population to about 112,164 inmates.
California remains more than 5,000 inmates over the limit set by the courts, despite building more prison space and using some private cells.
Gov. Jerry Brown's administration says it can reach the court-mandated level by February 2016 by expanding a Stockton medical facility, paroling elderly and incapacitated inmates, and increasing good-time credits for some nonviolent offenders.
The judges call those plans "the least intrusive possible remedy" to the overcrowding problem.

One of the more curious trends I discovered on a recent trip to Bordeaux is that a surprising number of families own a great many chateaux. In fact, some families own so many chateaux that these glorious, world-famous structures now exist as platforms for wine-related events, housing for journalists or guests from the wine trade, and, because no one really lives in them, a unique insight into Bordelais culture gone by.
So imagine — just imagine — you had the opportunity to taste the new 2009 vintage Chateau La Cabanne Pomerol in a pristine, virtually untouched eighteenth-century setting. Oil paintings of ancestors in their gilt frames smile (no frowns here) down on you as you sip the wine that members of their family made on that exact terroir two hundred years ago. One can just imagine the courtiers, negotiants, and perhaps a fine wine journalist or wine-collecting noble person where I now stand, tasting the new vintage and making a pronouncement. It's quite a heady feeling to know that most (actually all) of the furniture in the room is over a century old and perhaps twice that. And of course the terroir is the same — only the humans standing in a circle, noses in glasses, are new and sadly temporal.
I am tasting the 2009 from Chateau La Cabanne and the five other estates owned by Michele and Francis Estager in the reception room of Chateau La Papeterie, a picture-perfect Chateau where I and other journalists will spend the night in this week of En Primeur. Michele Estager is a delightful, elegant, and well-dressed woman who tells many stories in French, some of which I can understand. The chateau is also a depository for at least two centuries of family heirlooms, curiosities, and museum-quality furniture that have been passed down through the family for generations. When I ask to borrow a pair of scissors to cut a thread, Madame puts her finger to her mouth as if thinking, and then slowly, as if led by a distant memory, leads me to a large bureau where she opens its ancient wooden doors and extracts an object the exact shape of a old square cigar box. She opens it and reveals a few spools of ancient thread. "It belonged to my mother-in-law!" she exclaims, with an amused laugh, seemingly surprised to have remembered where it had been stored so many years before.
Leading the tasting is oenologist for all the Estager chateaux, Florent Faure. The Chateau La Carbonne 2009 is deeply flavored, with concentrated fruit and an elegant sense of balance. The chateau dates back to the fourtheenth century when it was part of a larger estate. Its current size is ten hectares located in the graves of the western slopes of the Upper Terrace in the geographic center of Pomerol. The clayey subsoil and gravelly cinder (concentration of sand and iron) give the wine power and a distinct minerality and sense of place. The tasting includes all the wines in Michele and Francis Estager's estate, and even the "under $20 wines" are fabulously rich and ripe. The wines all seem a terrific value and this is a terrific year to buy them.

GM to invest $129 million in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan plants
General Motors Powertrain plants in Ohio and Indiana that make transmissions for Buick and Chevrolet models with eAssist fuel-saving technology will get the bulk of a $129 million investment GM announced July 12.
The money is part of $2 billion being invested in 17 facilities in eight states over the next 18 months and will create or retain 4,000 jobs.
For plants in Toledo, Ohio, and Bedford, Ind., it is a second helping of investment since May, bringing total investment at the plants to $287 million and $81 million respectively.
Toledo, which earlier was targeted for a $204 investment, will get an additional $83 million for enhancements to a six-speed transmission already produced in the plant that will be used in the Buick Lacrosse beginning this fall and the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu debuting early next year. The new money will support addition or retention of 30 jobs at the plant that employs about 1,600.
Bedford, which earlier was named for a $49 million investment, is receiving $32 million for enhancements to the die-cast case and torque converter on the six-speed transmission assembled in Toledo. Bedford's employment of 405 is unchanged by the new investment.
Separately, an investment of $15 million to $20 million is planned that will retain 60 jobs at the GM Components Holding plant in Wyoming, Mich. The investment will support various powertrain projects.

I just wanted to cut some red pepper. It seemed simple enough. All I needed to do is get my Core Bamboo cutting board out, grab a knife, and go to work. So, that's what I did. I started slicing, all the while staring at the board's surface, crafted from 100% organically grown bamboo.
Then things went black.
When I came to, the red pepper was chopped so fine that it was basically part of the board. My wrist was pencil thin and from my chin hung a long beard.
"David! David, are you there?" I looked up. I recognized the woman in front of me as my wife, but she appeared much older than she did that very morning. Or was it that morning? No, my wife informed me, it was not! "David, you've been in a trance chopping that red pepper for nearly two decades! Oh my heavens, I thought you'd never come out of it!"
"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you! Stop talking to dad like he's alive..." It was my son, Barry. When I began chopping he'd been a toddler. Now, he was a teenager. He stopped speaking abruptly when he saw me, looking up from the cutting board. "Dad?" he cried.
"My boy!" I said, weakly.
"Barry's all grown up! He's the quarterback! Just like his father was!" my wife said.
This confused me. "But I never played football," I said. "I liked computers."
The look of excitement on my wife's face was replaced by one of panic. "Oh no, David! I'm sorry! I meant to say..."
"What's going on in here? Who are you talking to, honey?" Into the room walked a man I didn't recognize, but he appeared to be comfortable in my house. "Oh, hello David..." he said, awkwardly when our eyes met.
My wife quickly shooed him and Barry out of the room, and sat me down in a chair at the kitchen table. That man, she explained, was Eric, her new husband. After years of waiting for me to come out of my trance, she'd given up and moved on.
"You can stay as long as you need to to get back on your feet, of course," she told me, but I could tell she didn't mean it, so I packed my things that day and moved to a studio apartment downtown. My industry, technology, had moved on without me, so I found employment bagging groceries. Sometimes my wife will bring Barry to the store when she does her grocery shopping. Those moments are bittersweet: it's pleasant to see them, but sad to think of what might have been.

Hidden Greece
with Simply Simon Holidays |
the HG Concept destinations choose a holiday getting there |
contact us make a booking boring details car hire |
Play Safe with HIDDEN GREECE The best way to avoid travel disasters is to travel with an AITO member because all your money is totally protected. Hidden Greece, as a trading name of Sunvil, is an AITO member so our website is a perfect starting point. Before booking, click here to get in the mood! However, 100% financial protection is not the only reason for choosing Hidden Greece. Here are a few others: 1 - gain from our joint 90 years experience of Greece and unbiased first-hand knowledge of the places and accommodation we offer. We have no commitments to aircraft seats or hotel beds so have no incentive to sell you something you don't want; 2 - let us find the flights to Greece which offer the best value, most convenient schedules, lowest taxes and best domestic connections inside Greece; 3 - go straight to the destinations page if you know where you want to go; if you don't, check our "Where for What?" table; then look for the best island combinations if you want a multi-centre holiday; 4 - let us help you find the most appropriate ferries to use within Greece (we are past masters at guessing schedules before they are published); 5 - check which parts of Greece are still unspoilt (relatively Martian-free) where you can meet the Greeks and enjoy their traditional way of life. "But surely I can concoct and book my own holiday and save money?"Well, you can; and it might. But bear in mind a few facts before you abandon us: 1 - we usually have access to air fares and room rates not available to you. Sometimes these are appreciably lower, especially for higher priced properties, so it does not follow you will save much, if anything, by doing your own thing; 2 - most hotel websites feature either luxury hotels (whose prices virtually guarantee you can book them safely even if they totally lack any charm) or lower graded properties whose attributes may fall well short of their website's claims. We deal with one country only and offer accommodation which is suitable for a wide range of pockets, is normally small in scale and is likely to have ambiance, friendly owners and to be set somewhere that still feels like Greece; 3 - above all, you will have that warm glow of knowing that the money you have paid is safe. However.........,we also want to work closely with our hotel and villa owners to their, your and our best advantage. So you will find below every property description a link to its own Greek website (if it has one!). That means you can compare what we say with what the owner himself writes, perhaps with extra pictures or more detail (e.g. a pool or air-con recently added). If your first choice doesn't quite fit the bill, just click again on destinations and browse through our many alternatives. |
What our website provides1 - A description of all our destinations,divided into five regions of Greece (see our main map). On the right of each page you will find all our featured accommodation with supporting pictures and the seasonal dates for each property. 3 - A profile of our companyunder the heading The Hidden Greece Concept. If you know us already you may skip this section; if you don't, you should read it to make sure our modus operandi will suit you - we treat our clients as independent adults, not sheep needing molly-coddling. 4 - A table Where for What?showing which destinations are most likely to meet your criteria for what you want to find - or avoid. 5 - A Booking Enquiry formon which you can indicate which destinations appeal to you, when you want to go, how many of you will be travelling and so on. The form will be automatically returned to us and we will check availability and contact you by e-mail or phone with a quote. And what it doesn't provideThe chance to book a holiday straight off the shelf on line in three minutes flat because what we offer are not bog standard arrangements but the most flexible tailor-made holidays on the Greek market. Also, you have to submit (by law) a signed booking form, including a declaration that you accept our conditions; those conditions (and other details which you may well find more scintillating) are found under The Boring Details. That said, by letting the booking form do its self-guided missile act as a warning shot to us, we can be that much quicker checking availability and quoting a definitive price. |

Dear Savvy Senior,
What tips can you recommend to help retirees guard against identity theft when traveling? My sister and her husband had their identity stolen while on vacation last year, and I want to make sure I'm protecting myself on my trip to Europe next month.

DEAR ANNIE: My husband and I used to be close to my mother-in-law. We took trips together and enjoyed one another's company. But since our oldest child was born, things have changed. Even though she has an open invitation, Mom rarely comes around. She often won't return phone calls or respond to emails and texts.
Mom says because we won't let her babysit her grandchildren, she has no interest in seeing any of us. Annie, we have used babysitters maybe twice in the past six years. We have told her we would love to spend time with her as a family, and she says that will never happen. When my husband tries speaking to her in person, she gets angry. We are heartbroken.
A few years ago, she was constantly buying expensive toys for our oldest child. We kindly asked that she stop, except for birthdays and Christmas or to give the kids money for their college accounts. This upset her, and as a result, none of us gets any cards or gifts for anything, even though we continue to buy presents for her.
A few years ago, we borrowed money from Mom for some home repairs and have been paying her back monthly, according to the terms. She's never cashed one of our checks. We don't know why or whether we should just give her a cashier's check for the remainder and be done with it. Mom refuses to come to our house and will only meet us in a restaurant, where she seems pleasant. Then she says she's going to the bathroom, and we see her walking out the front door without saying goodbye.
We are baffled and not sure what to tell our children, who are starting to notice. My husband says this is how she has always been, shutting him out whenever he wanted to get close. His father died when he was a child, and he feels like an orphan. What do we do? — FRUSTRATED AND HURT
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Your mother-in-law needs to control your lives. The more she keeps you wondering about her next step the more control she has. You need to step away from her manipulative behavior.
If you can afford a cashier's check, do it. Always be polite and kind, but stop asking for her attention and affection. She doesn't know how to give it. She only knows how to buy it, and you won't let her do that. When she sees that she cannot gain leverage, she will either come around or cut you off entirely. That is her choice, and there is little you can do about it. Please find other, more caring people to fill the gap.
DEAR ANNIE: We never received thank-you notes after giving a wedding shower gift and a wedding gift to a young couple who are children of friends. Is there any appropriate way to inform newlyweds that such thank-you notes are needed? — WORRIED FRIENDS
DEAR WORRIED: In this day and age, it's nearly impossible not to know this already. However, some newlyweds mistakenly believe they have a year to write notes. This is not true. Guests have a year to give wedding gifts, but thank-you notes must be written immediately. Of course, when inundated with gifts all at once, these things take a bit of time, even if done promptly. So if you don't hear within three to six months, it's perfectly OK to call the couple and ask, "Did you ever receive our gift? We are afraid it was lost since we haven't heard from you." (And gifts, as well as thank-you notes, are indeed lost on occasion.)
DEAR ANNIE: This is for all those who worry that their grown children's homes aren't clean enough. My daughter-in-law had a plaque in her house that read, "My house was clean last week. Sorry you missed it." — OREGON

If you can: via Google Play is bestIf you have an Google account and Google Play on your phone the best place to download the app is direct from Google Play here. Or, if you have a barcode scanning app, you can point your phone at the following QR code: |
If you can't access Google Play: you can still get the app!Due to the model of phone you have, or the country you live in (e.g. China, Iran) Google Play may be unavailable. In this case you may download the app directly from here, or using this QR code: |
Once you have downloaded the file, you'll need to go through a couple of steps to install it, this process is called sideloading:
1. Make sure "Allow install of non-market applications" is on. Go to your phone's main Settings menu, navigate to Applications then select Unknown Sources
2. You'll need an "apk installer" application (apk is just the file type of an android application). Most devices that do not have market access should have one of these already installed - most file managers will also do it. If you do not have one, you will need to use another service.
You can also install an apk file directly from your computer using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Our thanks to Berthold Horn for the following instructions:
Connect your phone usng the USB cable.
In 'Settings > Applications' check 'Unknown Sources'.
In 'Settings > Applications > Development'. check 'USB Debugging'.
If you have adb.exe installed on your PC, then, from a Command Prompt, type
adb install <<full path and name of the .apk fileto be installed>>
If the app is already installed on the phone you will get a complaint.
In that case, uninstall the old version using 'Settings > Applications > Manage Applications'
Invoked without arguments, ADB shows a command line summary, as well the version number (currently 1.0.26). Do not use very old versions.
(*) Putting the directory where adb.exe resides into your PATH may make it easier to call ADB.
(*) Making a batch file that calls adb.exe with 'install' as the first argument is convenient. For example, the batch file could contain just the lines:
@echo off
(*) Finally, you may want to link the extension .adk directly to your batch file so that when you double click on a file with extension .adk it will automatically invoke 'adb.bat'. One way to do this is to right click on an .apk file, select 'Open With' > 'Choose Default Program'
---The "Android Debug Bridge" (ADB) comes with various programs, including e.g. Android Developer SDK, Android App Inventer, No-Root Screenshot, etc. Do a search for "adb.exe" to see whether there already is a copy on your machine.
If there isn't a copy of adb.exe already, or only a old version, install a program that uses it, such as No-Root Screenshot or AppInventor.

Zeiss Z-plex 3x9-40 conquest
I just ordered one of the Zeiss scopes. I had the occasion to look through one at the range a good while back but I remember that it was extremely bright and clear at 100 yards. I have been reading about them now and finally took the plunge. They were $399.99 at Midway and went up to $499.99 but are on sale now for $399.99 again so I ordered one. I have read nothing but good reviews on them. Do any of you have experience with them?

I bought one last year and put it on a Vanguard S2 in 243 Winchester. My only complaint is the plastic caps for windage and elevation adjustment. Other than that I think it is a very nice scope. Holds zero throughout it's magnification range, is very bright and clear. I was looking at buying a Nikon for the rifle but got the same deal you are at Midway, I think you'll be very happy.

A great scope. I doubt if you will fine a clearer scope for the money. They are a little big and heavier than I'd prefer.

Great glass
I bought one last year in a 3.5-10x44 and love it. I have the Z-plex too, I used it last year as it came with the hunting turrets and just did the zero at 200 so anything out to 300 I could just aim center mass and hit M.O.J (minute of jerky). GREAT light transmission...I think it's the best scope available in that price range.

Got the Zeiss, got it mounted and tried it out at the range. I have never had a scope that responded so positively to adjustments as this one does. So far I love it.

Most people get started with Excel as a place to make lists. The next step up from that is basic calculator functionality followed by more complex models and ultimately basic software programs.
The goal of this module is to give you a solid grounding in the building blocks of Excel models. We will cover the most useful core functions as well as basic best practices. We have a guide covering more of the uses of Excel for SEO which is a great place to get started with tables, pivot tables and other crucial Excel skills. We recommend that you start with the Microsoft Developer Center if you would like to learn the Visual Basic programming language.
In this module, we will cover:
The intention is that this module will give you a solid enough grounding that, when combined with the extensive help will allow you to create any formula you need.
We are going to start with simple calculator-type functions:
You enter a formula in Excel by starting with an equals sign (=). Cells are referenced by their row and column - so C2 is the cell three along and two down.
You can construct mathematical formulae using cell references and the basic mathematical operators: + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication) and / (division).
The formula below adds cells A1 and B1. Modify it to divide A1 by B1.
If A1 and B1 were numbers, how would you divide A1 by B1?
For example, if you were dividing 4 by 2 in excel, you would write = 4 / 2

Boys' Budget Bedroom Makeover Reveal!
Yay! I finished putting the final touches on the boys' room today, and couldn't wait to show you how it turned out!
I've been dying to re-decorate this room for MONTHS, but I knew I wanted to paint over the green and so I had to wait until I had some spending money to buy a gallon of paint before I could get started. Thank goodness for birthday money!!
I definitely didn't want to spend money on anything else though. Remember my Zero Dollar Laundry Room Makeover? Time to put those creative juices into high gear again!
I think the last time I posted pictures of Ty's room was before baby Elias came along, and it looked something like this…
The Froggy Room. Green and blue, and Ty still in the toddler bed.
Well, once Elias was born, we moved Xia up into the toddler bed so we could use the crib for the new baby, and we put the twin bed that was in Xia's nursery in Ty's room to be his new "big boy" bed.
Poor Jerry. I don't know how many times I've had that man move around our furniture.
Anyways, I had to make room for a twin sized bed, a crib, a dresser, and a changing table in what was to be the boys' room. I think it worked out well.
Here… come on in!
I'll give you a clock-wise tour around the room.
I loved the idea of a pennant banner draped across the corner of this room. So, I've been saving old clothing and receiving blankets, and any other materials of coordinating colors that I could get a hold of to make a banner without having to buy any materials.
This was my first ever sewing project. Well, not counting the pillow I made in home ec. in 7th grade. My mother-in-law (what would I do without her) came over a couple of weeks ago and showed me how to thread my sewing machine, and guided me in practicing using it.
It was so FUN sewing this thing!! Okay, so it isn't exactly perfect. But hey, it works… and I love it, so that's all that matters, right?
Next, I needed to accessorize the dresser. I remembered we had two old lanterns out in our building, so I dug them up, washed off an inch of dirt and dust, and stuck them in the room. I was so pleased that the colors worked so well!!
I found a few more little accessories laying around the house and stuck them with the lanterns. It was tricky trying to mix rustic elements with our very traditional furniture, but I think it turned out okay.
Alrighty, moving right along…
I love this photo. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!!
I took this picture on our property a month or so ago. And I got it printed on a canvas… for FREE! Actually, you didn't know it, but you got this print for me. If you signed up for Eversave through my referral link, you helped me earn enough points to get one of these.
So, thank you!
I got the biggest canvas I could, but it was still too small by itself on this enormous wall. It needed to be bigger. And I had the solution.
Armed with two of my husband's hammers, I got busy prying apart some pallets we had laying around. After brushing off the dirt, I had my husband cut a couple of pieces and hammer it all together. It looked great!
Only one problem.
Every time my husband would hammer in another nail, he heard a faint buzzing noise coming from within one of the boards. Upon a closer look, we saw a hole in the board… evidence of a carpenter bee living inside.
A quick google search for how to remove the bee led me to discover that it could be a female in there with eggs… eggs which would be hatching in approximately three months! The image of carpenter bees swarming the kids' room was enough for me to kindly instruct my husband to replace that board, asap. Please and thank you.
And here are the beds.
If I had a nice camera like all the cool bloggers, you'd really be able to see how pretty these colors are. It really is bright and cheery, I promise.
Like the stars I made from sticks which I'd gathered in the woods? I just chopped 'em with my handy ax, and nailed 'em together.
And the pennant banner I draped across the window? I kinda messed up on it, but it's better than nothing! I used a shoestring to sew the flags onto, and since it was stretchy it got a little weirded out. Oh well.
I clipped an aged clothespin to the top of each pennant, to try to continue that rustic feel.
I knew I needed to fill this space, but I had absolutely nothing to hang on the wall over the crib. Luckily for me, a little crafting went a long way!
After pulling out my scrapbooking supplies (and dusting them off), I found a few cute patterned papers I used to fold into these barn stars. I stuck them to the wall with a straight pin in the top of each star, so it wouldn't be noticeable.
I pulled together a few clipboards, and printed off the ABCs from my computer, using a neutral shade that would compliment the wall color.
And… the rest of the room. I was finally able to hang those personalized license plates I've been holding onto!
So, there you go!! I am so in love with this room. I love the neutral color on the upper part of the wall. Much mellower than the green. And I feel this is a decor that will work as the boys get older, so I shouldn't have to do much redecorating for a while!
Now… on to Xia's room!
Ummm… maybe after Thanksgiving 🙂

This is way too cute – you are very creative!
I used to be creative…until my boys got older and turned into little monsters. My boys would shred all of that hard work in a matter of seconds! I used to love making over their rooms when they were babies and couldn't tear stuff up; now I'm lucky if I can keep their mattresses on the beds and their blinds in the window!
I do have a 2-year-old and a new baby (6 weeks), so maybe if my college aged son moves out, I'll have a "little guy" room to make over. I will definitely refer back to here when/if I do get the opportunity!
Again, kudos to a job well done!
Oh…and the flag jobbies in the corner are cool too!
That portrait brings tears to my eyes.
It is up to PARENTS to foster good relationships (especially) between closely spaced siblings.
I FLATLY DENY THAT SIBLING RIVALRY SHOULD EVER—EVER— EXIST. If it does, the parents are not doing enough to engender the VALUE of the relationship to each of the children. The family unit is SACRED and should always be respected as such, from the moment the new baby is announced—even before birth…."You are so blessed to have someone to look out for you."…."You are so blessed to have someone look up to you."
It is AMAZING to me the number of parents who throw away the only relationships that their children will have when they (parents) are dead and gone BECAUSE THEY NEVER FOSTERED AND GREW THEM WHEN THE CHILDREN WERE SMALL.
It MATTERS.
Looks like you are doing a brilliant job, Kendra.
I love the look. I like to repaint when I need a new look for a room. I go to our local Diamond Vogel and get mis-tint quarts for $1, gallons for $3 this also comes in handy for house make-overs – we painted our whole house for $30 with high quality paint. Another thing I do is get a 5 gallon bucket to mix the paints – I wanted a dark aqua color for the living room and found a gallon each of white, blue and green, I started with 1/2 gallon of each to see what the color was and then just add whichever color to get what you're looking for. I get 4 gallon buckets with lids from the Wal-mart bakery for $1 each.
You've done a great job! And you can't beat the cost! Hope the boys enjoy their new room!
looks great!!
@Kendra: To each his/her own, of course… I'm simply… surprised to see these, to say the least, after all you had to say about Christmas trees and the like not too long ago. 'nough said…
AWESOME!!!!!! Peaceful and very professional looking…honest ! The pennant banner looks GREAT. Start noticing now, when you are in a store… their decor items are not perfectly made… sometimes intentionally. Yours looks so very nice ! I would not have guessed that was custom made 🙂 Very, very nicely done room ! You have a gift and then mix it with love for your family… they are blessed! THANKS for sharing this with us. 🙂
Oh wow!! I love the room! Double-love the fact that it was done on a budget. I think you should write a book on this for the rest of us who are but copycats (speaking strictly for myself… LOL).
I must admit, though, that the pentagram-shaped stars over the boys' beds just creep me out. *shudder*
Other than that… Looks like a million bucks! 😉
Looks great! I had 3 boys in one room for years! They all live through it. Can the baby get to the pin that is holding up the stars? I would hate for him to pull it out and get hurt. God Bless!
Very cute Kendra :o)
What a wonderful job you did! I am so inspired to take my girls' room from blah to wow. Congrats!
Awesome. I love your creativity – this room looks amazing.
Love it! How awesome! I love the old lanterns!!!
fantastic job!! i especially love those stars!!
Super cute! I can tell you had a lot of fun.
I just love bringing the outdoors in, so your stars are very cool and LOVE the skid frame too (that photo is so precious). I like the clip boards for the A B C's idea as well. Your pennants came out fabulous and I like to use clothes pins for a lot of things, from hanging artwork to closing food bags so it brings a smile to see others using them too, multipurpose-fully. I just knew you were going to like sewing…b/c there are so many projects you can do now :).Very encouraging post!
L.O.V.E. it!!! Well done!
I love it! Thanks for sharing… you did such a great job. Congrats on tackling your first sewing project… now that you have the sewing bug there will be no stopping you!
Kendra, it's gorgeous!! Great job!!
What a great makeover!
Love how you did it and very budget friendly as well!
Really pretty.:) Have a Happy Thanksgiving.:)
What a fabulous job you did Kendra, the room looks fantastic. I love the colors, I especially LOVE the wooden frame you made. It's so rustic, functional and holds a beautiful treasure of your boys. Your stars are awesome, it reminds me when I went out to an apple orchard I had years ago and gathered sturdy little branches. I brought those in to make frames for some sweet country pics for my kitchen. Your stars are so neat, how did you do that? It all came together nicely and you did an awesome job!!!
I think it looks great and very creative.if anyone worries that it'll look cheap, so what if people do. You used your mind and imagination to do a wonderful room for your boys. I don't worry about what other people think. Your love help create a delightful room. keep up the good work and sharing.
What a cute little boys room. I'm glad you showed the pennant banner up close…my eye was drawn to that as soon as I looked at the room! I love all the bits and pieces around this room. I have to say I had to do a double take of the paper stars over the baby bed… they looked like painted metal to me, so when I read paper, I was say to myself…"no way!"You saved so much money I bet redecorating this yourself and using what you had. There is no excuse for people not to have cozy looking and pretty rooms… I know I'm guilty of the whole "got to have money to make it look gorgeous" thinking. I'll admit, even when I'm in the middle of a project, that I'm just gungho over, I still get thoughts like,…"people are gonna tell this was done cheaply" or "I sure wish I had the money to do this better with …fill in the blank… materials instead of copy cat".
I don't know why I do that.
Anyway- thanks for showing us how you decorate so creatively and beautifully on a really small budget.enjoyed it, Pat
Wow!!!Kendra,I wish we lived closer.I need some of your creative inspiration.The boys room is perfect!!!Wow!!!
It's beautiful! Great job with being creativity frugal. I'm sure the boys love it!
I LOVE IT!!!!!! I'm re-doing my little guys bedroom right now and now I have some fabulous ideas! Thanks!
Love it! You are so creative. Very inspiring! 🙂
I…LOVE…IT!!!!!!!! First of all the room is adorable and that's all well and good, but the fact that you used random things and you put them together so well and spent close to nothing makes me so proud of you and makes me love it even more. Congrats on a job VERY well done!!!

Drive Time Essays: Wisdom for and by Unitarian Universalist Leaders
For Lay Leaders Like You
These are short, spoken essays are designed to engage, inspire, uplift, enlighten, rejuvenate and motivate.
Drive Time Essays, available here in audio (MP3) and web reading formats, were originally prepared for Compact Discs.
Be sure to check out the Bonus Tracks: These web-only tracks are available in downloadable MP3 format.
Drive Time Essays Disc #1: Tools for the Lay Leaders
Unitarian Universalists (UUs) from all walks of life; ministers, lay leaders, Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) staff members—were invited to share bits of wisdom about how to lead vital, healthy UU congregations. The result is this Disc with 21 essays, each about three minutes long, each addressing some aspect of congregational leadership.
Drive Time Essays Disc #2: The Best of Interconnections
This Disc, the second in our series, contains audio essays written by Don Skinner, the editor of InterConnections; the much respected newsletter for leaders of Unitarian Universalist congregations. These 19 essays are between 2 and 6 minutes long.
Drive Time Essays Disc #3: Small Congregations
- Volume 3: Tracks 1-16 and BONUS Tracks (filled with wonderful insights and are available only on the website)
Drive Time #3 focuses on smaller congregations—those that have fewer than 150 members—and many that have fewer than 50 or 75. There are more than 600 small congregations within our Association. And much of the wisdom included will be equally helpful to mid-size and larger congregations.
The CDs for all three Drive Time Essays are available through your District Office.

Getaway to one of the last beach side homes in the resort district and enjoy a magical, sun-filled Florida vacation!
Our home -- with it's fabulous location, modern conveniences and rustic charm -- is unmatched from others on St Pete Beach. We are walking distance to hotels, restaurants and shopping, while nestled less than 30-seconds from the sand and surf.
Even the locals are charmed when they walk into the home. Built on Jan. 12, 1933 with tongue-in-groove wood floors, walls and ceilings, the home captures the nostalgia of beach living with all the upgrades of today's comforts.
Come to our home and experience 7 miles of public beach to explore. Hunt for sea shells, enjoy a leisurely swim, fish if you feel like it. Walk out the front door and see brilliant sunrises to your left, spectacular sunsets to your right. You'll find the perfect combination of sand, sea and sky at this destination.
We've also found our home to be perfect for parents and family members of a wedding party that want a home base to help coordinate but able to relax between festivities, this is your place! The home is a quiet retreat so we do not allow parties or large gatherings at the property. We even had folks come back to stay for their anniversary!
This two-story beach house includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with a large deck and gas grill for cookouts under the night sky. The master bedroom on the second floor has a private balcony for two and the back garden has a second patio area suitable for sunbathing or just relaxing. And talk to us if you are interested in pool access.
For guests that may need to work while they're away, we have an in-home office that includes a phone/printer/scanner/copier and high speed Wi-Fi. Please contact us if you need more information as we offer additional work-from-home capabilities.
Easy stroll to Dolphin Village for groceries or to drop in to a CVS drugstore. Across the street is a popular pancake house, a well-known dinner spot and a liquor store .
The beach also has free transportation services and if you want to explore, a trolley stop is few steps from our front door to take you wherever you want to go.
The home has been in our family for over 60 years and holds a special place in our hearts. We still live on the beach and make sure this charmer is kept in excellent condition for our guests' enjoyment.
Keywords: beach, charm, quaint, character, cozy
I am a beach girl in my heart, love swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, walks on the beach, fantastic sunsets, and the sand between my toes. This home has been in our family for over 60 years and we are delighted to share it with our guests. We think you'll find it as special as we do.
The Owner purchased this house in 1951
It's one-of-a-kind home! It offers a quiet retreat moments from a pristine beach and nestled among all the great attractions - giving you the best of both worlds.
It is a true beach home with all the comforts of today's living. Spend your day with sand in your toes or read a book on the back deck after a morning swim. In the evening, take a stroll to the local restaurant for dinner and ice cream. But don't miss the sunset! They are spectacular and no one is the same!
This is a well-cared for and loved home that has been in our family for more than 60-years. We want you to have that home away from home feeling when you stay here.
We are close to everything so enjoy walking everywhere you need to go. And given our great location, we have many families stay with us as a retreat from all the wedding activity at the hotel; it's great for those looking to relax throughout all the celebrations!
Roses are red, beach life is great. Forget all your worries, erase your full slate. This beach house is perfect, it has lots of charm. Inside you'll feel safe, protected from harm. Check out the beaches, both near and afar. Take home some sand - fill up a jar. Use the grill once, or maybe twice. Shrimp on the barbie - it's really quite nice! Walk to the corner - Freakie Tiki is there. You'll find some cool stuff, and much you can wear. Sleep in till noon, or get up at dawn. Either way after sunset, you'll start to yawn. This place was perfect for these four pals. Come with your buddies - the best for us gals! Debbie the owner loves this place best. Living here's easy, and leaving's a test. Look for the cat - she often comes round. Don't worry about noises - the cat makes the sound. Thank you for sharing a home filled with love. We used all the corners like a hand fits a glove. We plan to return, and sit in the sun. Sadly for us, our week is now done.
This was our third stay at the beach house and as always we found it spotless and well equipped. One trip to the grocery store and you're set to enjoy the beach or discover many of the local activities. The location is ideal as the highways are very easy to connect to. One of our favorite things to do in the early morning is to walk to Pass A Grill for a coffee. It's a 45 min walk there but well worth it as this beach is pristine and shell hunting is a must along the way. The owners have provided a book that takes the guess work out of where to eat and hot spots to discover. We highly recommend Agave a Mexican restaurant only 2 mins away by car and very reasonable prices. Don't leave the beach without booking a sunset sail that leaves from the Publixs grocery store mall. Captain Dan and his crew ensure that the evening will be memorable and you can bring a bottle of wine along for the ride. When you're exhausted from all the adventures you can always head back to the beach house for a BBQ on the Webber grill and relax in the fully equiped family room and watch a movie. The owners are very accommodating, you'll want to return again every year.
We stayed at this property for our son's wedding, which was at the Grand Plaza. The house is very nice and well equipped, and the location was very close to the wedding venue and just a short walk to the beach. We had 5 adults and a baby and were very comfortable. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, and kids toys provided that we used several times. I would recommend this home for anyone to stay in.
We loved our week's stay at this renovated beach house! Cleanliness is an understatement when describing this well- maintained treasure. We could not have been more pleased the accommodations and the gracious hospitality rendered by the owner who lives close-by and was more than willing to make sure all of our needs were met. There were beach towels, beach chairs, a small cooler, an umbrella and a host of other necessities available for our use. The proximity to the beach is a hop, skip and a jump. Local restaurants and grocery stores are all within walking distance or a short drive away. I would highly recommend this to others for a wonderful beach vacation!
First off the house and location are just perfect, exactly as described and very spacious. I was there with my 3 sisters and my son and nephew who are both 22 and we all had plenty of room. The location is amazing, a few steps from the house and you are on the beach which was just great since when it got too hot on the beach we just went back to the house for lunch. We just has a great time all around and I would definitely recommend this house for any family that just wants to have a relaxing and great time in a house next to the beach.
While we were there we went to the Spinners restaurant on the roof of the Grand Plaza and the food was amazing and the view awesome, get pictures.
I would stay there again anytime and I would recommend you do also.
Our stay was wonderful. House is great. We were there for a wedding and the location is absolutely the best. The owner was very nice and easy to work with. Will definitely consider staying here again.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house! It was a perfect location for us. A very short stroll to the beach and restaurants and an even shorter walk to the wedding venue of my niece's wedding. Our entire family came to St Pete for my niece's wedding at The Grand Plaza Hotel. Most of our extended family rented small condos or stayed at the hotel. They were all jealous of "our" beach house.
The owners were very cool people! They came to the beach house our first morning there to let us back in because we accidentally locked ourselves out. They were so nice about it and showed up with in minutes. They even took us on a tour of the house and told us about some of the history of the place. Very cool!
The owners attention to detail did not go unnoticed or unappreciated by my family. They had provided everything you could ever need to enjoy your stay in the house and at the beach.
Thank you so much for sharing your slice of heaven with our family! We are looking forward to coming again!

Eat Stop Eat Really Does Work
Published 09 November 2013
Hear what Sterling has to say about the amazing eat Stop Eat ebook
Eat Stop Eat - I found a great website and resource for losing weight. So I wanted to make a testimonial for it.
The resource I found was a weight loss program called Eat Stop Eat.
Like any other health related program, always make sure to consult your doctor or healthcare professional before starting.
Now many people have heard about fasting. The internet is buzzing with so many ways to lose weight.
I had fasted before with decent results. The Eat Stop Eat program really piqued my interest. http://www.IntermittentFastResults.com
The best part is there are several studies, related to the benefits of controlling what you eat. The Eat Stop Eat program, made me think about my eating habits.When you start the Eat Stop Eat program, you will want to follow it closely and it is very easy. I have been doing it for about a month now and my results have been great. I highly recommend the Eat Stop
Eat program to anyone who wants to lose weight in a healthy way.
The Eat Stop Eat program encourages you to eat, it also encourages you to take breaks from food.
Another part I liked, was unlike other programs that encourage you to fast. The Eat Stop Eat program recommends periodic exercise.
When I got really serious with the Eat Stop Eat program, I noticed that I was not hungry or having cravings like I did with traditional fasting.
A few more results that I realized, was how clear my skin became. I also had more clarity in my thought process, this was unlike when I fasted the regular way.
Again I highly recommend Eat Stop Eat for your weight loss goals. Thanks for watching this video and make sure to get
your access to Eat Stop Eat today!

I bought the 3/16 off of ebay motors. I trimmed it down to 26" x 60" . I have not weighed it yet. I have only tested it out in the yard. It was about 39 degrees the night I tried it out in the Blackbird. No under quilt or over quilt, just the pad and I was in my North Face Blue Kazoo bag. I was toasty warm. I was sleeping in a pair of shorts, socks, and an Under Armor long sleeve shirt.
Eldorado, Congrads on the BB.
What is the maximum size pad (width x length x thickness) that will fit in the pad sleeve of the BB double layer hammocks? Rectangular shape?
Noel V.
With a 40" wide pad, I still had some more room. I believe the pad pocket equals the full width of the hammock. I use a 1/4" pad and when inserting it I could stick my head and arms into the pocket so there is a lot of room. Some users would like the pocket to be smaller to avoid the pad moving around but I like the large pad pocket because I use an oversized pad and so far with limited use have not had problems with the pad shifting. In just about 11 days, I will be using it for a week on the AT, so I can see if I encounter problems with the pad shifting at night.
Originally, my pad was rectangular but I trimmed the corners so it would fit in my Claytor Exped's pad pocket. It was probably trimmed smaller than would be necessary for the Blackbird.
Back in January when it was cold as gets here in South Texas, the tile floor in our house was very cold to my bare feet. To test the insulation value of my 1/4" ccf pad, I placed it on the tile floor and then stepped onto the pad with my bare feet. When I did so, I was amazed that the pad not only provided insulation to the bottom of my feet but it actually seemed to be generating heat. I did the same thing with my Therma-Rest Prolite full length insulated pad. Of course, it kept my feet from contacting the floor but it didn't appear to be generating any heat. Does that make any sense?
koalha05, I see that you use a Mt Wash UQ. Does it fit well with the BB? What has been your lowest temperature while using the Mt Wash? What's the warmest temp when you used it and was it too warm?
Works real nice on the BB. I bias the JRB suspension a bit and maybe a bit too tight so the quilt when I climb in shifts to the right sometimes at the head end. Seems to keep the foot end well positioned. When it does shift just reach out while laying in the BB and pull it back into position. Stays put. Coldest night have been relatively calm low 20*F. Use the Nest as a top quilt. If I remember the hood I'm real warm in just a base layer of PowerDry. I'm a cold sleeper. With some loosening of the head and foot ends to allow a bit of heat to escape the warmest night used have been in the 40*F. Nest on top. Start sleeping without the nest but end up pulling it up over during the night. MWUQ is a bit overkill for my needs. It's really a winter (sub-freezing nights) quilt. Thinking about the 3 season JRB differential cut coming soon.
Noel V.
Back in January, I looked at buying a MWUQ but since I'm a warm sleeper I thought it would be too hot for me. Typically, I camp in 20-40 degree weather during January & February. Otherwise, the temps are over 40. Also looked at the Speer Snug-Fit UQ because the temp rating was not as low as the MWUQ. BUT I decided to buy my BB instead of an UQ.

Having worked at Takashimaya's depachika in Nihonbashi I am very familiar with hordes of people lining up outside of department stores first thing in the morning. I still don't quite understand the fascination with having to buy the latest trendy food item, but it happens all of the time. Personally I don't have the time to queue just for food, but apparently in Tokyo there are lots of people with the luxury of time.
One of the current hot items at depachika are the croissant rusks by Ohzan. Rusks have long been a popular sweet at depachika, but typically they are made from bread similar to a baguette. Toasted and often sweetened with sugar. I never understood the popularity of these rusks. For a long time there were lines to purchase the Gouter de Roi rusks.
However, these rusks are not just from just any bread, but made from croissants. And they come in a variety of flavors like caramel, covered in white or milk chocolate, nuts, and even garlic or black pepper. Currently these can be had at Mitsukoshi in Ginza. But go early if you want to try them as they often sell out sometime during the day.

Recently, nearly 50 players and winners from Survivor, The Amazing Race and American Idol spent the day at Discovery Cove. The stars were in Orlando to benefit Give Kids the World, a wish-fulfilling organization supported by SeaWorld and its parks.
The players – including Survivor winners Richard Hatch, Natalie White, Todd Herzog and two-time winner Sandra Diaz-Twine – played with dolphins, hand-fed exotic birds and swam with rays. Yau-Man Chan met sun conures up-close and Terry Dietz took two dolphins for a spin.
Survivor's well-known villains, Russell Hantz and Courtney Yates, had the times of their lives, too. Amazing Race winner, Jordan Pious, even raced Morty, Discovery Cove's tortoise. Jordan won at the line!
In the reunion photo, see if you can spot your favorite Survivor. Learn more about Discovery Cove at www.DiscoveryCove.com.
