A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop low back pain or sciatica with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing low back pain or sciatica. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Overuse of the back muscles can happen during any activity.
Risk factors include:
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause low back pain, especially in adults.
Muscles that support the back can become weak with lack of exercise.
Work that requires the following motions puts additional stress on the back:
- Heavy lifting
- Bending or twisting
- Exposure to vibrations, such as riding in a car or operating heavy machinery
- Injuries from contact sports or falls can result in back pain
- High-impact sports, such as distance running
Smoking may cause discs in the spine to wear down.
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health. Extra weight can increase pressure on the spinal muscles and discs.
When you lift objects with your back muscles instead of the stronger muscles in your legs, you increase your risk of back injury.
As you grow older, the discs in your back begin to lose water content and degenerate. This increases the risk of disc problems and back pain, especially after age 40. However, even with some disc degeneration, most people do not have back pain.
Stress, anxiety, and negative mood may increase your risk of low back pain.

Superefficient Clothes Dryers to the Rescue!
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2013 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
August 30, 2013
Clothes dryers account for 6% of residential electricity consumption in the United States. Approximately 85% of U.S. households have a clothes dryer, and 6–7 million new dryers are sold every year. Clothes dryers consume as much energy annually as the entire state of Massachusetts consumes for all purposes. Energy used for clothes dryers nationwide costs U.S. consumers about $9 billion per year. Yet clothes dryers are the only major household appliances without an Energy Star label, and utility incentive programs for clothes dryers are rare.

What If?: Religious Themes in Science Fiction
Darton, Longman & Todd, 2000 - Science fiction - 164 pages
Who am I? Why am I here?Where am I going?What if . . .?Science fiction delights in asking old questions in new ways. Rather than being primarily about advanced technology and the imagined future, science fiction novels and films are more fundamentally about issues of human nature and destiny. They provide a unique perspective on the same questions that have dominated theology and philosophy throughout history. In this fascinating book, Mike Alsford aims neither to give a history of science fiction, nor to systematically identify specific religious motifs within the genre, but to create an interdisciplinary, exploratory space where we can engage with the primal themes in new ways. Whether we are already well-versed in science fiction, or have had only the briefest encounters with Frankenstein's monster and Doctor Who, this book will provide exciting insights into questions of identity, the human condition, our relationships and our destiny.

Artist Deborah Azzopardi
Andrea's delighted to be writing for world-renowned pop artist Deborah Azzopardi. I will post new paintings and captions on this page as they are released. To begin, here is a brand new painting, Embrace, (and my caption) for April 2018.
There's never enough time to take one's clothes off!
(Caption: Andrea Shavick)
The next painting, The English Gentleman, was first shown at the ING Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London SW1 in November 2017.
Returning a lady's underwear is absolutely the right thing to do...
(Caption: Andrea Shavick)
Here's another of Deborah's wonderful paintings which was also shown at the ING Discerning Eye exhibition.
Honey, you're not going anywhere!
(Caption: Andrea Shavick)

text: Friday, December 07, 2012 Call for Member and Nonmember Volunteers: PTA Education Feasibility Study Work Group APTA is seeking volunteers to serve on a new work group that will prepare a plan for responding to the House motion on a Feasibility Study for Transitioning to an Entry-Level Baccalaureate Physical Therapist Assistant Degree (RC20-12), including identifying data needs, sources, and collection methods. Members interested in serving on the PTA Education Feasibility Study Work Group must first complete the volunteer profile form found on the Volunteer Interest Pool page (log on to the APTA website before accessing this link). Once the profile is submitted, click on the "Current Volunteer Opportunities" button and select "PTA Education Feasibility Study Work Group" to be considered. Encourage your colleagues, including those involved in the education, work, and career development of PTAs, to serve on this important work group. The deadline for submission is December 31. Interested nonmembers should contact Janet Crosier for assistance. Comments I am interested to volunteer in this new work group: PTA Education Feasibility Study Work Group Posted by Agnes Sheffey -> CJQZD on 12/7/2012 8:18 PM Please count me in for this; I'll be heading over to fill out the volunteer interest form for sure! I think that this would be a great topic for discussion and a good opportunity to start a meaningful and in-depth dialogue about this idea of raising the bar for PTA licensure. As it is, earning a Associate of Science degree/PTA certificate can take 3+ years to complete. By carefully selecting the additional courses specifically tailored to skilled patient care, additional clinical rotation hours, and courses geared toward increasing knowledge of evidence-based practice could really set the bar higher and on par with the level of autonomy and responsibility PTAs currently possess. PTAs are skilled clinicians who are able to lead patients through safe and effective rehabilitation programs as prescribed by a PT. I truly believe this would be a move in a positive direction. I am aware that this will increase the cost and time required to become a licensed PTA but a cost well worth the effort - both for our field and our patients. Posted by Danielle Stephens on 12/8/2012 12:28 AM Please add my name to the list. My PTA License (required in the state of Illinois) took 3+years with an AAS degree. I am in full support of increasing the program to a Baccalaureate degree with licensing required in all states. I have stated in previous blogs, there is currently only one transitional program based in Ohio. We can and should allow interested PTA's to further their academic career. Thank you! Lisa Zemaitis, licensed PTA, BSHA Posted by Lisa Zemaitis -> @MS\?G on 12/8/2012 9:38 AM I am very interested in joining the PTA Education Feasibility Study Work Group. I have been a practicing PT for twenty years with supervisory experience of PTAs thru out my career. I would love to see the PTA Associate degree be advanced to a Bachelor's degree! Posted by Diana Zarreke -> AKPc>J on 12/9/2012 8:25 PM I am READY!! I have filled out the volunteer application and would love this opportunity. Currently I work in a PTA program in TN and this topic comes up often. Posted by Amanda McCarrell -> AMS`CM on 12/10/2012 3:23 PM I would like to join the Feasibility Study Work Group.I think it is not only time but necessary in our current health care system for the PTA degree to be elevated to a Baccalaureate level. Posted by Marie Helene McAndrew PT on 12/11/2012 11:23 PM APTA members who wish to be considered for this opportunity must follow the instructions in the article and go through the Volunteer Interest Pool. Nonmembers should contact the person listed in the article via the e-mail link provided. You will not be considered for this work group by simply leaving a comment on this webpage expressing your interest. Posted by News Now staff on 12/12/2012 9:09 AM

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical and family history. A physical exam will be done, including a thorough examination of your skin. The diagnosis can usually be made based on the typical appearance of the rash. In some situations, you may be referred to a doctor specializing in skin problems or eye problems. There are no specific tests to detect rosacea, but some testing may be done to rule out other disorders with similar symptoms. These may include blood tests or a skin biopsy .
The National Rosacea Society's experts have created a system for diagnosing rosacea that includes specific symptoms being present for 3 months or more.
The diagnosis will include identification of the subtype. Knowing the subtype of rosacea can help with a treatment plan. There are 4 subtypes:
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (subtype 1)—Flushing and persistent redness, which may or may not include visible blood vessels.
- Papulopustular rosacea (subtype 2)—Persistent redness with bumps and/or pimples that come and go.
- Phymatous rosacea (subtype 3)—Skin thickening, irregular nodules, and enlargement, which can affect the nose (most common), chin, forehead, cheeks, ears, or eyelids.
- Ocular rosacea (subtype 4)—Eye symptoms, including redness, watering, burning, or swelling eyelids (this can affect the cornea and result in vision loss).
Symptoms can vary in severity. It is also possible to have symptoms that fall into more than one subtype.

The herb pokeroot grows wild in many parts of North America. The name comes from a Native American word, "pocan," a term that indicates any plant used to provide a red-colored dye. Pokeroot is a source of a blood-red pigment. Medicinally, it was used as an "alterative," a substance that supposedly removes toxins from the body and restores overall health. Like other alteratives, pokeroot was used for the treatment of cancer, skin conditions, and many other diseases attributed to toxins. Pokeroot causes vomiting and diarrhea, and these effects were also traditionally considered salutary. 1 However, in modern times, it has become clear that pokeroot causes vomiting and diarrhea because it is toxic; it should not be used at all.
What Is Pokeroot Used for Today?
Pokeroot itself is not sold in the United States. However, substances found in pokeroot have shown promise for drug development. One of these, "pokeroot antiviral protein," has shown potential as a treatment for HIV and other viral infections. 2-10
Note, however, that these findings on one ingredient of pokeroot do not indicate that the whole herb is useful for HIV infection.
Another substance in pokeroot, "pokeweed mitogen," forces cells to divide, a property that has led to a great deal of scientific investigation. 11-18
These mitogenic effects are potentially quite dangerous, and are more an argument against the use of pokeroot than for it.
Other pokeroot constituents have shown potential anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and blood pressure–lowering effects. 19
Safety Issues
Pokeroot is a toxic herb. Ingestion can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting (sometimes with blood), diarrhea, rapid heart rate, a dangerous fall in blood pressure, difficult breathing, confusion, and death. 19,20 Symptoms may develop with one-time use or insidiously over time. Fresh root is more toxic than dried root. The juice of pokeweed berries is more toxic still, and can cause severe damage to blood cells even when it is only applied to the skin. 21-24 Pokeroot should definitely not be used by pregnant or nursing women or young children.

Daniel Owen Espley is my wife's grandfather. He was born on 14 March 1886 in Biddulph, Staffordshire. He was always known as Owen to the family.
At some point Owen and his wife Betsy moved from Staffordshire to Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire. They opened a glass and china shop in the town possibly because Betsy had previously worked at the Shelley pottery factory in Staffordshire. As far as we know there was no other connection to that line of business.
Owen eventually stood as a local independent councillor on Mablethorpe and Sutton Urban District Council.
The photograph is Owen's election leaflet for the 1947 council election. By then a second glass and china business was being run by Owen and Betsy's son, Fred. And he gets prominent publicity on the leaflet. Here is the text of his election address:-
Dear Friend
Please do me the favour of reading this address carefully, for you are approaching one of the most critical elections ever known in our town. The prosperity of all of you depends on the continued advance of Mablethorpe and it is within your power, as electors, to secure that advance – or prevent it.
Remember, the Council is YOUR SERVANT, not your master. You pay for its upkeep and you should make sure it serves YOUR INTERESTS.
Are you content to let your rates rise year after year and yet see little improvement in the public services?
Do you realise that high rates are preventing the development of our town and impeding its progress?
Examine the back of your Rate Paper and ask yourself honestly – are you getting value for your money?
There are plans on foot for further expenditure on schemes which no other town of our size has entertained, as it is doubtful if they can be made to be self-supporting. I ask you to insist on more economic spending of public money and to give your support to one who will see that you get value for every penny spent; one who wishes to serve you, not dictate to you.
These statements are worthy of your consideration if you are anxious for the welfare of Mablethorpe. I offer myself to you as a candidate in this election. If you return me I shall do all in my power for every ratepayer and for the good of the town.
Yours sincerely
D. O. Espley


text: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 Online Atlases Illustrate Prevalence of Diabetes, Obesity, and Physical Inactivity The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has introduced a new online tool, Diabetes Interactive Atlases, which provides data for diagnosed diabetes, obesity, and leisure-time physical inactivity at the national, state, and county levels. The new tool also includes interactive motion charts showing trends in the growth of diabetes and obesity throughout the United States and within states. The tool was launched with the release of CDC's November 15 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which highlights a study that found that the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased in all US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico between 1995 and 2010. During that time, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased by 50% or more in 42 states, and by 100% or more in 18 states. The states with the largest increases are Oklahoma (226%), Kentucky (158%), Georgia (145%), Alabama (140%), and Washington (135%).

If ever there was a teachable moment with behavioral finance and emotional investing, Monday's horrific events at the Boston Marathon might have been it.
While Debra Brede was sensitive to the events unfolding just miles from her office, she also realized she still had a job to do.
"I just had to remove my emotions from the situation," said Brede, founder of D.K. Brede Investment Management Co., a Commonwealth Financial-affiliated rep whose office is in the Boston suburb of Needham. "I didn't have any clients directly affected, thankfully, but I have a number that are doctors. They rushed to the hospitals to see what they could do."
Mark Singer was taking a rare afternoon off to golf with friends when their quiet play was interrupted.
"All four of our phones went off almost at the same time, and they kept going off with everyone wanting to know where we were," said Singer, president of Safe Harbor Retirement Planning in nearby Lynn, Mass. "I have a lot of friends and colleagues that are runners so I was worried, but so far they all seem to be okay."
Brede was going about her daily business, which ironically involves looking for events that will cause a temporary dip in the markets, when the first of two bombs exploded just past the four-hour mark of the legendary road race. The attack has left three dead, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 100 wounded as law enforcement authorities continue to search for motives and suspects.
"I was entering in orders and not realizing what was happening," Brede said. "I certainly wasn't looking to gain from something like this, and I didn't think it would rebound like it did today, but it did, and we realized a return."
"We've been dollar-cost averaging our clients in for quite some time," added Singer. "We almost over-communicate with our clients, so when something like this happens, they don't react to investing in an emotional way. We've prepared them to expect the unexpected."

DOE's Better Buildings Neighborhood Program (BBNP) was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Initially, DOE made 25 awards to local governmental or nonprofit organizations in amounts ranging from $1.2 million to $40 million. Nine similar grantees from DOE's Formula Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program and seven from DOE's State Energy Program (SEP) solicitation resulted in 41 Better Building grantees, with award allocations of $508,302,786 in funding for BBNP projects. This article summarizes a preliminary process and market effects evaluation of the BBNP that was conducted by a team led by Research Into Action and managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

Having a good understanding of your menstrual cycle can help you time intercourse and increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
On average, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days long, but it can vary—from 17-36 days. Day 1 of your menstrual cycle begins on the first day of your period. Between Day 7 and 11, the lining of your uterus begins to thicken, preparing for a fertilized egg to implant. Around Day 14 of a 28-day cycle, changes in hormones cause a mature egg to be released from an ovary (called ovulation) and travel down a fallopian tube. It is here that a sperm may fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg will travel toward the uterus for implantation. If this happens and the egg attaches to the lining of the uterus, pregnancy occurs.
When trying to get pregnant, it is helpful to know when the egg is released. That is the best time to achieve a pregnancy. The table below describes 4 of the most common methods that can be used to track when you are most fertile each month.
- To find the first day when you are the most fertile, subtract 18 from your shortest cycle, and mark an X on your calendar on this day of each cycle. (For example, if your shortest cycle was 27 days, the first day you are the most fertile will be Day 9 of your cycle; 27-18=9.)
- To find the last day you are fertile, subtract 11 from your longest cycle and draw an X through this date. (For example, if your longest cycle was 29 days, the last day you are fertile will be Day 18 of your cycle; 29-11=18.)
- One type is used to measure LH for the days during your menstrual cycle you are most likely to be fertile (see the calendar method above). These kits are inexpensive.
- The other type of kit measures your LH level daily. It tells you when your fertility is low, high, and peak. These testing machines are more expensive and require the purchase of test strips as well.

Tackling 5 common bathroom design problems
2. Double VanitiesA double sink vanity with a mirror running the length of your vanity serves its purpose, but can get boring after a while. Try instead: two independently separate vanities with framed mirrors, wall sconces for lighting and storage under each vanity. This creates more interest and visual appeal, creating a rhythmic contrast between the wall color and the architecture of the vanity.
1. Breaking the LineStandard and efficiently designed bathrooms have a tub, a double vanity or a pedestal sink and a toilet lined up against one wall, also called "the wet wall." If this layout is getting on your nerves and your standard sized tub has just enough space to let your elbows get wet during a shower, then consider removing the bath tub and installing a walk in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. Include niches for bath accessories and remove all external storage accessories causing clutter and visual chaos. Additional storage can be installed at a certain height on the wall making Skechers Flex Appeal Spring Fever Ladies Trainers
3. Tiles and FinishesThe most important challenge we all face when it comes to finish selection is trying to achieve visual appeal, durability and maintenance all in one tile or finish. While this is possible, the important factor is to select a material that will not blow your pocket. The one design tip to keep in mind Vans Old Skool Pro 92
while selecting tile is "Keep it Classic, Accent with Popular." There are several finishes that are hot for a year and then fade as newer and hotter finishes enter the market. Don't get carried away by a product that is trendy. Finishes, like wainscoting, are a hit in powder rooms. Wall papers are making a comeback and are reasonable priced alternative finishes if you are willing to install it yourself.
5. AccessoriesEverybody loves accessories like towels, floor mats, frames and vases, but choosing the right amount and the best one could be tough. Don't be a victim of monotone monarchy. Contrast your accents, compromise on the color and pattern if you already have a stunning bathroom. For an all white bathroom, splurge on colors and patterns keeping in mind balance and harmony.

space for foot circulation. This arrangement creates a spacious feel and makes the vision flow beyond the tub and the shower curtains that were initially causing an obstruction in the Mbt Shoes Walking On A Cloud
4. LightingTry something new if your standard 3 light vanity fixture is uninteresting and does not create an ambience in the space. Lighting should serve the functional purpose, as well as create a soothing and ambient environment that helps calm and relax during a shower. To achieve this effect and style, install a medium sized chandelier in the center of the bathroom or above the Jacuzzi and pair it with a row of colored, glass blown light fixtures by an accent wall (the wall across the vanity will be a good choice). These are the lights fixtures that you would typically install above a kitchen breakfast counter or a bar table. But, who said you cannot use them in the bathroom for decorative purposes? We are here to break the norm and customize your space. Concealed lighting are always great to have especially if you have a decorative stepped ceiling.

The first exposure to the virus may result in a blistering rash in the mouth and/or lips with a body-wide, flu-like illness. This first outbreak of cold sores is usually gone within 7-10 days, but it can last up to 20 days. The sores can also develop in other locations on the skin.
The symptoms of the first outbreak are:
- A blistering, painful rash of small ulcerations across the lips, gums, tongue, and the inside of the mouth. This is more common in children.
- Pain and blistering on the soft roof of the mouth, tonsils, and throat, which is more common in adults.
Flu-like symptoms:
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Decreased energy
- Muscle aches and pains
- Swollen glands in the neck
After these initial symptoms, the virus may lie quietly in the nerves until it is reactivated. This may happen due to stress or illness. Direct sunlight, a weakened immune system, and menstruation can also trigger reactivation.
If reactivated, the virus will come out as a cold sore . A few days before the sore appears, you may notice some itching, burning, or pain in the area. Some people have outbreaks regularly. Some never have another symptom after the initial infection.
The symptoms of an active cold sore are:
- Small, painful, fluid-filled, red-rimmed blisters
- After a few days, the blisters dry and form a scab
- Scabs heal in about 5 days, usually without scarring or loss of sensation

Nystagmus is a type of involuntary movement of the eyes. The movement usually alternates between slow and fast and involves both eyes. The direction of movement may be:
- Horizontal—side-to-side
- Vertical—up and down
- Rotatory—circular
Different types of nystagmus are:
- Infantile—tends to develop between ages 6 weeks and 3 months and is the most common type
- Acquired—occurs later in life
Infantile or motor nystagmus is usually due to instability in the motor system that controls the eyes.
Acquired or sensory nystagmus is usually due to poor vision or neurologic problems.
In some cases, the cause of nystagmus is unknown.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of nystagmus include:
- Genetic tendency
- A family member with nystagmus
- Poor development of eye control that may be caused by an eye disease or visual problem during infancy, such as bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia or congenital cataracts
- Lack of pigmentation resulting in reduced vision— albinism
- Eye disorders, such as optic nerve degeneration or severe astigmatism or severe nearsightedness
- Health conditions, such as Menieres disease which involves balance problems, multiple sclerosis , spasmus nutans, or stroke
- Injury to the head or involving the body's motor system
- Use of certain medications, such as lithium or antiseizure medications
- Alcohol use disorder or drug abuse
- Inner ear problems, such as infections, irritation, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
- Thiamine or vitamin B12 deficiency
- Conditions that affect the brain, such a tumor
Nystagmus may cause:
- Sensitivity to light
- Difficulty seeing in darkness
- Vision problems
- Head held in a turned or tilted position
- Oscillopsia—feeling that the world is shaking or moving
- Vertigo
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If nystagmus seems to be present, you may need:
- A full exam with an eye specialist called an ophthalmologist
- An ear exam, including a hearing test
- Exam with a neurologist or other medical specialist
Tests may include the following:
- Visual exam of the inside of the eye with an ophthalmoscope
- Vision testing
- Eye movement recordings
Imaging tests may include:
The ophthalmologist will also look for other eye problems that may be related to the nystagmus, such as strabismus , cataracts , or abnormality of the optic nerves or retina.
The ear specialist will look for signs of ear infection, and for worsening of the nystagmus with head positions.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Removal of the cause of nystagmus can sometimes eliminate the problem, such as discontinuing a medication or stopping alcohol or drug use. However, nystagmus often is a permanent condition that can only be reduced and not eliminated. Treatment options to reduce nystagmus and improve vision include the following:
- Prisms, tints, eyeglasses, or contact lenses
- Adopting a particular angle of vision where the nystagmus is reduced, such as holding the head in a certain position
- Vibratory stimulation of the face and neck
- Certain medications for specific types of nystagmus, including botox injections to relax the eye muscles, muscle relaxants, and certain antiseizure medications
- Surgery on the eye muscles
Low-vision aids can often help improve vision. They may include large print or high contrast materials, good lighting, and magnifying devices.

I have to say your house before was nice but kinda average. Same kind of thing you see in just about any house in suburbia. Now its just wonderful. Unique, personal light and airy. It feels lived in and has enough 'Stuff'to feel real but not over cluttered. Right now my house is all whites in order to get that light airy feel but Its not working the way I want it too. My house is probably half the size of yours and thus half the windows so the white isn't terrible but things just dont pop the way I want them too. Possibly because I have next to nothing all the wall but I think I should have just gone with lighter colours and not so white. its a process.....ReplyDelete
Wonderful and cheery. Makes me smile.ReplyDelete
I love how you lightened and brightened everything..really beautiful!ReplyDelete
Was there a new farmhouse sink going in?ReplyDelete
The home tour of living room and kitchen is nice. The light color make the room different. Great idea you were rocking .....ReplyDelete
Beautiful! It's amazing how much color can do! xoReplyDelete

Lovely. Lots of love and work went into this! Well done.ReplyDelete
Love your makeovers. To me, the most dramatic change was the dining room. So much lighter and brighter. You've got great style!ReplyDelete
What is not to love about your home. I love everything you have done, especially all the little details and character you have added to make it your own. It's no secret I'm in love with that entry closet and your gallery wall is A M A Z I N G!!! Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us.xoReplyDelete
Your house is so beautiful! My husband and I are working on buying our first home, and looking at your photos is so inspirational in the decorating department! Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

What a wonderful transformation. I love that you didn't paint your kitchen cabinets white. So many people have done that and it's...... but the wall color so lightened everything up. I think one of my absolute favorite things you did is paint the pantry door - I love that. Thanks for all your inspiration.ReplyDelete
beautiful!! where did you get the yellow pillows on your sofa?ReplyDelete
I love the changes you have made to the house. The lighter and brighter look is so great. I think your photography skills have improved too.ReplyDelete
I love how you updated your home. So light and bright. Did you plan out your outfits in your family photos to match your home decor or the other way around? Oh and how much dusting you must do! I would love my home to have a all those darling focal points but am so anti house work that I just settle for empty side tables. Picture perfect.ReplyDelete
I love how updated your home looks. Beige is so early 2000's lol. Did you plan your family photos outfits to go with your decor or was it the other way around? How much dusting must you do!! I am so anti house work I mostly leave my side tables empty. But I love how put together every little nook in your home looks. Just beautiful.ReplyDelete
Everything is gorgeous!!! I absolutely love your photo wall in the living room!ReplyDelete
It's amazing a difference there is simply by painting the rooms a lighter colour! Absolutely beautiful! I really adore the yellow lamp and family photographs.ReplyDelete
I just love the colors you have chosen. I wish I could talk my husband into repainting. Beautiful!!ReplyDelete

Love the white bookshelf with the drawer in the corner. Would you mind sharing where you found that, my daughters room has little space for book shelves but this would fit the bill!ReplyDelete
They really did well with the kitchen remodel project on that first photo. I like the after look. Apart from the open floor design , I love how light and airy it looks.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! I'm struggling with changing away from so much black, and lighten up as you did, but it's still hard to make that jump! You inspire me to go for it though! Love the living room off the kitchen!!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous!! Love the lighter look! Very inspiring! I have my house in darker colors like you did, and am working on lightening it all up! Thank you for sharing! I love the living room off the kitchen after!ReplyDelete
curious about the Magazine holder. I have 4 children and use clipboards to manage their homework and school papers. Would like something more sturdy and not so office looking.ReplyDelete

This may sound crazy, but I had these colors in my mind, and a vision I could not fit all together, and now Ive found it! Thanks for posting this, as now I know I can start the project and know I am not crazy in thinking it would all work well together :) I love it!ReplyDelete
I came across your blog from a pin and I AM IN LOVE!!! I read your weight loss section first (GO YOU!!!!!)and just finished the house tour. I love your style and I can't wait to spend the rest of the night looking at the rest of what you have on here...(I mean that in the least stalkerish way possible hahaha)ReplyDelete
I love your home! But I have to admit that the kitchen/living room transformation is my favorite! I think it is remarkable how much a change of paint color can lighten up the room. Your cabinets look almost as if they are stained darker, but it must be the paint. It's really awe inspiring to see how much your home has changed. You are my inspiration!ReplyDelete
I love how clean everything looks, very tidy and organized :)ReplyDelete

I've never seen the before, before of your kitchen. With the red nook wall and black table. We are currently putting up wood in our nook (over our red wall!) because I was inspired by yours. And I just painted our black table white. Super stalker alert. ;-)ReplyDelete
Im wondering what this years smoking hot colors are. Lime green maybe? Im moving into a smaller home and the kitchen counters are a dark green and Im not real crazy about them. I was hoping to use a color like maybe lime or pumpkin for accessories.ReplyDelete
The house is about a 1965ish with white marble tile, dark green counter tops and white cabinets. HELP!!!!!!
Random question...I noticed that just off your living room is a door to the outside with a window in it. I can sort of see what looks like a molding box at the top. Is there a sheer privacy curtain on that window? Blinds? It's hard to see because it's so bright. I have a window like that on my back entry door and I don't know how to make it look pretty and not like a grandma curtain. LOL Ideas?ReplyDelete
I had seen your blog before and always think about it every time I want to redecorate...which is every day. For some reason I never bookmarked the page and just looked through thousands of google pictures of DIY home blogs to find yours!! So HAPPY I found it!! Thanks for all of your awesomeness!ReplyDelete

In your pantry, did you buy the glass jars (like the Rice and Brown sugar jars) that way or did you do that yourself. If you did do it yourself how did you do that or were did you buy them. Thanks. I love your blogReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and comments. We truly love and appreciate each one!

This Q&A is part of a biweekly series of posts highlighting common questions encountered by technophiles and answered by users at Stack Exchange, a free, community-powered network of 80+ Q&A sites.
Nupul asks: A lot of my peers seem ready to dive in to learn "the next new thing"—lately Python, Ruby or PHP. But it seems that just "knowing" the language is futile. You also need to know the frameworks, learn their usage/APIs and become familiar with good implementation practices.
This is a lot of work. Does it really make sense to expend that energy to learn a new programming language? Learn it quick and dirty, and you'll probably use it for quick and dirty prototyping and implementation.
I'm already proficient with Java, C/C++, Javascript/jQuery and decent at Objective-C. I produce enterprise level systems with relative ease, and after 6 months, I can read my own code.
Isn't this enough?
Top answer: "invest in yourself" (111 Votes)
jmquigley replies: From The Pragmatic Programmer: Tip #8 "Invest Regularly in Your Knowledge Portfolio":
Learn at least one new language every year. Different languages solve the same problems in different ways. By learning several different approaches, you can help broaden your thinking and avoid getting stuck in a rut. Additionally, learning many languages is far easier now, thanks to the wealth of freely available software on the Internet.
It's not about the next "new thing." It's about thinking in ways outside of your normal thought patterns.
There is a saying: "When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Maybe there is a better way to solve a problem using some other technology. If you don't explore, you may not know that it was available.
Alternative answer: "let me count the ways..." (47 votes)
Mike Brown replies: Why do people climb Mt. Everest? Or run 100 miles in 24 hours? Why do we undertake any challenge? Because it's there. I see nothing wrong with "Ars gratia artis." There comes a point where learning for learning's sake becomes its own reward. But if you want more powerful reasons to learn a new language, here are some:
- New ways to solve problems: Learning a new language—really taking the time to dive in—gives you the chance to program again as a newbie. That new perspective can teach you techniques that might carry over to an old language. Think of the influence Ruby on Rails had on ASP.NET MVC or how Java Hibernate was ported to C# (along with countless other frameworks that influence .NET development). Exposure to different languages can teach you new ways to address problems.
- The right tool for the right job: All of the languages you mentioned are OO/Procedural hybrids (or purely procedural in the case of C). Try your hand at a functional language or two. Try implementing factorial in Erlang using recursion and watch your jaw hit the floor when 20000! returns in 5 seconds (no stack overflow in sight). Then look at the power of scaling your application to crunch through numbers and parse protocols with less code and in less time than it would take to get two instances of a JVM talking through RMI or SOAP. Learning other languages/frameworks that are targeted to solve specific problems will give you more tools.
- Meet new people/expand your network: Diving into a new language exposes you to a new community. Meeting new people is a good thing for your career and personally.
- New opportunities: Knowing a new language can only increase your chance of getting that job with that hot startup. "Man this job would be perfect if I knew Ruby." Besides, you might enjoy the language enough that you decide to switch paths.
- Keep it fresh: Working with the same thing day in, day out becomes tedious. Using a different language can give you a break from the daily grind and allow you to come to the next day refreshed.
- Because it's there: Learn a new language because you want to.
Alternative answer: "more languages, more money" (4 votes)
hspain replies: Check out the results from the 2011 Stack Overflow User Survey. There is a very high correlation between number of languages known and salary.
Alternative answer: "analyze and choose wisely" (2 votes)
Fabio Ceconello replies: I have about 15 years of experience in C++ and 5 in Java. There are many languages I learned and left behind (PHP, Pascal, assembly for a bunch of different processors, among others) and can say for sure that even those I don't use anymore left a significant mark on how I think about a problem. Also: even if you want to stick with, say, Java, for a given project, you'll have to know the alternative to present good counterarguments to its proponents.
Still, I learned Python just this year, and was delighted by how elegantly some things can be done. So much that I decided to convert a handful of REST servlets I had written, from Java to Python. The advantages in code maintainability were significant. For sure it left a mark on my way of doing things, too, not only because I will now choose Python for some tasks, but also because I may adopt similar design principles when coding in C++ & Java.
That said, I don't think you should learn lots of different languages just for the sake of it. It takes a considerable time toll, and the "accomodations" you'll have to make to let new languages coexist with old in your mind also take time and effort.
I only decide to learn a language when it has enough maturity, has a good developer base, and offers significantly different outcomes from the others I know or plan to learn. When I decided to learn Python, for instance, I also considered Ruby and Perl, and later discarded them—at least for the near future.

I think this puzzle should be at least difficulty 3 (7 here). Of course it is trivial to solve it just by playing with it, but there are two different solutions depending on how you put the two pieces back together. And remembering both of them (the shortest path, not just circling around until you take the pieces apart) is quite difficult. It took me several days to manage to discern them. I also like the material they are made of very much.
Quite easy for a level 2. I had this solved within a minute of unpackaging it. I can still wander down the wrong path when solving this puzzle, so it does have some replay value. It's a nice design and fun to tinker with.
I like this puzzle because the mechanism is quite interesting, and it's fun to play with.
Very easy but fun
Great puzzle. Never mastered this one, just trial and error. Not as durable as some Hanayamas...got stepped on and now the joy is over! :-(
This puzzle was pretty easy to figure out, but I still have problems trying to find my way through it; it is like a maze.

The female reproductive system
consists of two ovaries, two fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the vagina.
Either the left or right ovary normally produces an egg (ovulation) about 11 to
17 days before the woman's next menstrual period, or approximately once a
month. The egg is released from the ovary into a fallopian tube and swept into
the uterus by tiny hairs (cilia) and muscle action.

Pricing for Profit
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 04, 2009
After paying for the costs to run your business and the sticks, bricks, and labor to complete your jobs, you better have some money left over for profit - over and above your salary.
Remodelers generally quote a firm price for their work, unless they work on a time-and-materials or cost-plus basis. The culmination of the estimating process is determining the price that we present to the customer in the hope of persuading him or her to buy our products and services. In order to arrive at a price, savvy remodelers realize that they must know more than the cost of the sticks and bricks, labor and subcontractors, that go to make up the project. To determine the proper price at which to propose the job to the client, remodelers must be able to identify two types of cost—job cost and overhead—associated with their particular business and with the particular project. To these two costs they add a third factor, known as profit. Job Cost + Overhead + Profit = Price The first factor, job cost, is the sticks and bricks that go to make up a project. Job cost is the sum total of five broad categories of expenses—materials, labor, subcontractors, plans and permits, and cleanup—that are directly related to each individual project. Job costs are bills, employee time cards or subcontractor invoices that include a job address. ...

Attention market bears: Liz Ann Sonders is bullish on America.
Charles Schwab & Co.'s chief investment strategist has been telling investors lately that the U.S. is truly undergoing a manufacturing and energy renaissance, particularly in recently depressed Midwestern states such as North Dakota, Sonders said in a keynote address on Tuesday before the Financial Planning Association's New York chapter.
"Someone asked me in a Q&A, 'What's your favorite emerging market?' and 'Middle America' was what came out of my mouth," said Sonders at FPA-New York's annual summit. "Now when I'm asked what's my favorite emerging market, I answer Middle America."
Thanks to this renaissance, U.S. is "not just paper wealth" anymore, she said, predicting that U.S. household net worth would hit an all-time high in 2013.
For every 100 jobs created in petroleum refining, another 1,190 additional related jobs are created, Sonders noted. Further, she recalled a recent trip to China, where several representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce in China told her: "We think over the next 10 years, we'll be bringing our business back to the U.S."
The Boston Consulting Group has been at the forefront of predicting this trend, Sonders said, with its publication of "Made in America, Again: Why Manufacturing Will Return to the U.S." two years ago. Boston Consulting believes that China's once-overwhelming manufacturing-cost advantage over the United States is eroding fast.
U.S. strengths include a high rate of productivity, the rule of law, relatively cheap real estate, low transport costs and low-cost energy, and restrained labor costs versus emerging-market wage increases, Sonders noted. "It's an unbelievably powerful trend," she said.
Even though U.S. wage increases are weak, consumer spending is up 3.5%, at 71% of GDP, because households have been deleveraging over the last five years, Sonders said. Americans can afford to spend again, she said, adding that the bull market in U.S. stocks also has been going on for the last five years.
"It is shocking that four years into a bull market we still have massive outflows out of equity. I'm amazed at how much skepticism I'm still met with after four years," Sonders said. "I'm not a permabull, but I'm optimistic. At conferences, almost all the questions are bearish. I love that because I'm a contrarian."
Obviously, the U.S. is still dealing with issues like public debt, the deficit, housing and jobs, she acknowledged. But as government deleveraging continues to be a drag on the economy, the only thing that's holding back housing is low inventory, Sonders said.
"Builders' concerns are lack of supply and lack of skilled workers," she said. "Weak home sales numbers in every case is lack of inventory. Plus, household formations now exceed home completions" with young people and immigrants doubling household formations in 2012,
As for jobs, she said, unemployment rates are typically high as recoveries begin and low as recessions begin. Recoveries come first and then ultimately bring down the unemployment rate, Sonders said, noting that the unemployment rate was above 9% in 2008 and has been coming down since.
"We'll get to a 6.5% unemployment rate in less than a year," she predicted.
During the Q&A, one speaker called Sonders "a breath of fresh air," and another thanked her for an "info-rich session."
"She was disciplined in her presentation of the data, backing up her points in a coherent theme," said certified financial planner Luisamaria Ruiz Carlile of New York-based Veris Wealth Planners during a break. "She had an observably clear point, which is that the economy has a lot of strengths. It's good to be optimistic, but I want the intellectual rigor behind it."

Principal Proposed Uses
- Dandruff
- Tinea Pedis (Athlete's Foot)
Other Proposed Uses
- Acne
- Dandruff
- Head Lice
- Oral Herpes
- Periodontal Disease
- Thrush
- Vaginal Infections
Captain Cook named this tree after finding that its aromatic, resinous leaves made a satisfying substitute for proper tea. One hundred and fifty years later, an Australian government chemist named A.R. Penfold studied tea tree leaves and discovered their antiseptic properties. Tea tree oil subsequently became a standard treatment in Australia for the prevention and treatment of wound infections. During World War II, the Australian government classified tea tree oil as an essential commodity and exempted producers from military service.
However, tea tree oil fell out of favor when antibiotics became widely available.
What Is Tea Tree Used for Today?
Tea tree oil can kill many bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact. 1,2,12 This makes it an antiseptic, like betadine, hydrogen peroxide, and many other essential oils . It is not an antibiotic in the common sense, because an antibiotic is absorbed throughout the body.
Preliminary double-blind studies suggest that tea tree oil might be useful for athlete's foot and other fungal infections of the skin and nails. 3,4,13
One double-blind study found tea tree oil helpful for acne . 20
Another double-blind study found that tea tree oil gel may reduce gum inflammation in people with periodontal disease . 15
A single-blind study found evidence that tea tree oil may be helpful for dandruff . 14 Tea tree oil plus lavender oil may also be an effective treatment for head lice. 21
Tea tree oil may be as effective as standard antiseptics for removing resistant strains of staph bacteria from the skin of hospitalized patients. 16-18Note : This does not mean tea tree oil is effective as an antibiotic for staph bacteria. It is an antiseptic . Antiseptics work on the surface of the body, while antibiotics work from within.
Additionally, tea tree oil has been proposed as a treatment for vaginal infections , thrush, and oral herpes (cold sores). 1,6,7,12 However, there is no reliable evidence to indicate that it is effective for these purposes.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Tea Tree?
Athlete's Foot
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 158 people with athlete's foot were treated with placebo, 25% tea tree oil solution, or 50% tea tree oil solution, applied twice daily for 4 weeks. 13 The results showed that the two tea tree oil solutions were more effective than placebo at eradicating infection. In the 50% tea tree oil group, 64% were cured; in the 25% tea tree oil group, 55% were cured; in the placebo group, 31% were cured. These differences were statistically significant. A few people developed dermatitis in response to the tea tree oil and had to drop out of the study, but most people did not experience any significant side effects.
Another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial followed 104 people with athlete's foot who were given either a 10% tea tree oil cream, the standard drug tolnaftate, or placebo. 8 The results showed that tea tree oil reduced the symptoms of athlete's foot more effectively than placebo but less effectively than tolnaftate. Neither treatment cured the infection in 100% of the cases, but each treatment cured many cases.
A third double-blind study followed 112 people with fungal infections of the toenails, comparing 100% tea tree oil to a standard topical antifungal treatment, clotrimazole. 9 The results showed equivalent benefits; however, because topical clotrimazole is not regarded as a particularly effective treatment for this condition, the results mean little.
In a 4-week, placebo-controlled study of 126 people with mild to moderate dandruff , use of 5% tea tree oil shampoo significantly reduced dandruff symptoms. 14 Unfortunately, this study was not double-blind: the researchers knew which participants were receiving tea tree oil and which were receiving placebo. For this reason, its results cannot be taken as completely reliable. (For more information on why double-blinding matters, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
Head Lice
Head lice is a common condition in children. It is often treated with insecticides, like pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide, that are applied to the scalp. Tea tree oil has been studied as a possible alternative. 21 In one trial, 123 children (aged 4-12 years) were randomized to one of three groups: tea tree oil plus lavender oil , a head lice product that works by suffocating the lice, or insecticides (pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide). The day after being treated, almost all of the children in the tea tree plus lavender oil group, as well as the suffocation product group, were lice-free, compared to only 25% of those in the insecticides group (a significant difference).
The best evidence for benefits with tea tree oil as a treatment for acne comes from a randomized double-blind clinical trial of 60 people with mild to moderate acne symptoms. 20 In this study, participants were divided into two groups and treated with placebo or 5% tea tree oil gel. Over the 45-day study period, researchers evaluated acne severity in two ways: by means of counting the total number of acne lesions (TLC) and also by rating acne severity on a standardized index (ASI). The results showed that tea tree oil gel was significantly more effective than placebo at reducing both the number of acne lesions and their severity.
Tea tree preparations contain various percentages of tea tree oil. For treating acne, the typical strength is 5% to 15%; for fungal infections, 70% to 100% is usually used; and for use as a vaginal douche (with medical supervision), 1% to 40% concentrations have been used. It is usually applied 2 to 3 times daily, until symptoms resolve. However, tea tree oil can be irritating to the skin, so start with low concentrations until you know your tolerance.
The best tea tree products contain oil from the alternifolia species of Melaleuca only, standardized to contain not more than 10% cineole (an irritant) and at least 30% terpinen-4-ol. Oil from a specially bred variant of tea tree may have increased activity against microorganisms, while irritating the skin less. 10
Safety Issues
When used topically, tea tree oil is thought to be safe. Some have reported an allergic inflammation of the skin. 11 Two randomized trials reported skin reactions in a small percentage of participants, but the reaction was enough to make them drop out of the trials. 13,22
In addition, one report suggests that a combination of lavender oil and tea tree oil applied topically caused gynecomastia (breast enlargement) in three young boys. 19 The researchers who published this report also state that testing of tea tree oil revealed estrogenic (estrogen-like) and antiandrogenic (testosterone-blocking) effects. However, a literature search failed to find any other published reports that corroborate this claim.
Like other essential oils , tea tree oil can be toxic if taken orally in excessive doses.
Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
