Tour up to a maximum of 4 people
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD submerged lava around the Vesuvius cities Oplontis?s excavations belong to the Archaeological Park of Torre Annunziata: it was a residential town for people of the highest rank, all buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Excavations and archaeological researches have recovered lots of jewels of great quality and fine workmanship. All these remains with the other ones unearthed at Pompeii and Herculaneum, form a unique collection of priceless evidence testifying the existence of a genuine school of goldsmiths. The Villa of Poppea, Nero's wife, is of great interest. It is preserved in excellent condition and at the time of the eruption, it was uninhabited for the sustained damage occurred during the earthquake of 63s A.D. For this reason, there are no ornaments of all kinds but just lot of rich frescoes and they are visible all its spacious and luxurious environments: its entrance and peristyle; its spa and reception room; its garden, the master bedrooms and rooms for the servants; its porch and finally its lararium with a large swimming pool... Vesuvius is certainly the most famous and dangerous volcano in the world. Indeed it is not the highest volcano in the world but certainly the most monitored (all together with all the volcanoes in the Phlegraean Fields and Ischia). its history has inextricably linked to the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum with all the rest of the Vesuvius little towns such as Stabia and Oplontis. Vesuvius is the only active volcano of mainland Europe and its shape inspires the curiosity and fear of all people living on its slopes, or just walking at his sight. One thing is sure: the scenario of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius dominating on the sea is probably one of the most beautiful natural wonders of our planet! Climbing up to the crater means to relax, to have a best moment of real trek and to breath the real history of this volcano. Its destructive power has earned since ancient times the respect of the local and passing people.
This tour starts and ends at the Neapolis Hotel.
The departure is scheduled at about 9 am

In the 1950s, in the small town in Louisiana where I grew up, I sometimes found myself in the custody of my aunt – the two of us, inveterate moviegoers both, scanning the papers on Saturday morning for a promising matinee. She was a high school teacher from Texas – in her 50s, somewhat stout, quick to laugh, appearing in my life three times a year: summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
She read paperback novels, worked crossword puzzles, played solitaire, and watched TV – simultaneously, of course. For me, she was dazzling, witty, a soft touch at the candy counter, the best of company. She taught my brothers and me to play Scrabble, hearts, and canasta, and taught us the stories of the Alamo, Davy Crockett, and Jim Bowie.
She served during World War II in the Women's Army Corps. She was stationed in Australia and New Guinea, and told me that she prayed that I never, ever had to go to war.
She would take me to any movie, anytime, anywhere – and this morning we've been dropped off in front of the theater. It's 11 a.m., but no need to worry about lunch; we can fill up on popcorn. Afterward, we're responsible for getting ourselves home on the bus.
The theater has a 1930s-style outdoor ticket booth as well as movie posters in glass display cases. You can browse the posters just by taking two steps off the sidewalk. Inside, an angular, slightly scary woman patrols the aisles with a flashlight. There are cushioned seats, two balconies, and curtained boxes on the left and right like in an opera house. The lights dim. We watch cartoons, a newsreel, the coming attractions, and finally the feature itself – a Tarzan movie, with Technicolor jungles and cliffs. I am 9 years old.
We're hungry after the movie – the popcorn hasn't filled us up, after all. Around the corner from the theater is a department store with a diner on the first floor and a sign above the door: Air-Conditioned Inside.
We walk down a side street past the back entrance to the diner, from which pours an inviting assemblage of aromas – hamburgers, waffles, bacon, French fries. Once inside, we throw ourselves into a booth, reaching for menus like debonair restaurantgoers everywhere – this middle-aged teacher and her nephew with the crew cut and Bermuda shorts.
A waitress appears, all starch and apron. A lifetime later, my hamburger arrives – meat and bread only. My aunt's burger drips and spills with mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion – but she makes no comment on my boring, impoverished taste.
After lunch, we decide to pay a visit to my grandmother in her insurance office on the 11th floor of the bank building, the tallest and grandest edifice in town.
In 1959, the city's downtown has not died yet. Parking spots are hard to find. Sidewalks are crowded with shoppers, business people, commuters at bus stops. There are hotels, churches, a synagogue, a hospital, clothiers, a Western Union, the post office, the courthouse, and, best of all, a gimcrack novelty shop on a side street, purveyor of my secret desires – joy buzzers, gory thumbs, and flies in ice cubes.
It is the train station, however, that my aunt loves, with its intricate timetables, stacks of luggage, and smell of diesel. Anyone in town can walk two blocks and catch a daily train to Jackson, Miss., then on to Memphis, Tenn., or St. Louis. I exist, my aunt tells me, in a universe far greater than this tiny burg, this river town in Louisiana.
In an antechamber next to the bank lobby, we pass a bulging newsstand just like the ones in the movies. It looks as if it could fall over at any minute, filled with the paraphernalia of urbanity: magazines and newspapers, cigars, cigarettes, candy, gum, toothpicks, maps, nail clippers, Louisiana State University football pennants, digestive aids.
Somehow, at age 9, I realize that all this richness – the sights and wonders of downtown – is being given to me by my aunt.
In my grandmother's narrow office, I run straight to the window to lean out and search a mile away for the miniature version of my house (until my aunt and grandmother fly after me, close the window, and threaten me with instant death to even think of taking one step closer).
I know that somewhere in the distance, one of those Monopoly houses is my house, my backyard, my room. But how to mark off the steps, how to calibrate the distance between these two irreconcilable spheres of existence?
My grandmother's hair is gray. She's dressed in a dark-blue, pebbly-looking suit and square, dark shoes. After a few minutes chatting with us, she smiles, hugs me warmly, kisses my cheek, tells my aunt and me goodbye, and then at the last second, gives me a 50-cent piece for the candy counter downstairs. On the way down, my aunt contributes a half-dollar of her own. I feel like a sultan, imagining rows of Milky Ways, Baby Ruths, lemon drops, and candy corn.
During the ride home after visiting my grandmother, we sit near the front of the bus. My aunt is talking to an acquaintance she has just run into. Or maybe talking to the bus driver – she will talk with anyone, white, black, stranger, friend – an ease and garrulousness acquired from years of riding Greyhounds coast to coast.
The Louisiana heat, along with the rumble and sway of the bus, would ordinarily rock me to sleep against her, except that I want to revisit Tarzan in my mind. The bus ride home always does this – evokes in me a replaying of whatever movie I've just seen. Scene by scene, I roll the plot through my mind, reliving Tarzan's jungle acrobatics, his battles with lions and human villains.
I do not have the words to say so, but I know that some secret knowledge has been passed on to me by my aunt concerning pleasure – movies, hamburgers, train stations, newsstands – concerning plenitude, one of the names for joy.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (March 5, 2010) - The ETSU men's tennis team picked up right where they left off last Atlantic Sun Conference season as the 59th-ranked Bucs downed A-Sun rival Kennesaw State 7-0 Friday inside the "Bubble" at the Country Club of Bristol, in Bristol, Tenn.
Playing inside the cold club's tennis center ETSU (3-5, 1-0 A-Sun) opened play by winning two out of the three doubles contests.
"We are a young team so it was good for our guys to come away with a win this afternoon," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Kennesaw State is starting to build a good program, so I was proud of how our guys came back from a slow start in doubles and play better as the match went on. Being the preseason favorite in the conference this spring, we know that we are going to get everyone's best shot when they play us so we have to be ready for that. That being said, we are playing a young lineup overall so It was good to see the guys bounce back from our tough non-conference schedule and get a win."
After the Bucs took the early 1-0 lead senior Daniel Isaza (Madelline, Columbia) added to the ETSU advantage with a 6-3, 6-2 win, at No. 4, over KSU freshman Gokalp Ozdemir. Minutes later junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) pulled the Bucs within one point of their 35 consecutive win in A-Sun play with a 6-3, 6-2 straight set victory over sophomore Tyler Mills.
Freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) then closed out the defeat with his win at No. 3 over freshman Gianni Kubin 6-1, 6-2. With the victory in hand ETSU didn't let up as sophomores Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium), Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) and Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) played exceptionally well with their straight set wins at No. 2, No. 5 and No. 6.
After Gille took care of business against sophomore Simon Janik 6-2, 7-6, Akser dropped freshman Elliot Kahler 6-1, 6-3, while Bonnevalle got the best of sophomore Michael Langel 6-2, 6-1.
ETSU will now have a quick turnaround as the Bucs look to continue their league success as they host Mercer with a noon contest outside at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center on the ETSU campus.

Woman accused of attempted murder described 'bones snapping'
A FORMER Byron Bay schoolgirl accused of attempted murder has been committed to stand trial.
Jessica Honey Fallon, 22, will be arraigned next month for the attempted murder and grievous bodily harm of Michael Martin Snr and Edmund Manning during an alleged home invasion of Martin's Murwillumbah home in April 2014.
During the bloody assault Martin was stabbed several times while Manning was hit with a heavy blunt object, fracturing several bones.
Police allege the botched murder was the first attempt in a plot to kill Martin by his son, Michael Martin Jnr, and his ex-wife Candace Martin, to profit from life insurance policies taken out in his name.
Martin Snr was brutally murdered just two months later in the same Quarry St home in South Murwillumbah.
It is alleged that Fallon, who was 20 at the time, was to be paid to help carry out the murder.
Fallon appeared in Lismore Local Court in a black suit and heavy make-up today, flanked by two police officers before Magistrate Jeff Linden, who ordered she be arraigned before the District Court on November 23.
The accused has been refused bail over the offences, which her lawyer argued was unjustified.
Solicitor Tamryn Beveridge argued the long delay before a trial - not expected until late 2017 - was "entirely unjustifiable", and her client was "looking at a delay of two and a half years in custody without being found guilty of any offence".
"In my submission this is a weak Crown case," Ms Beveridge told the court, before picking holes in the police investigation that implicated Fallon.
On at least three occasions she said investigating officers had "fed the applicant information that she later adopted".
She also noted there was no CCTV footage, no DNA evidence, or fingerprints which put Fallon at the scene. The two victims had told police the perpetrators were "two males".
"This investigation has been going for two and a half years and no link has been found between the two co-accused and the applicant," Ms Beveridge said.
But in arguing for bail to remain refused, the Crown prosecutor said the circumstances of the case were "exceptional".
Fallon had described a blow-by-blow account of the home invasion and assault, right down to the position of both victims and the sounds of "bones snapping".
"She described there being blood 'everywhere'... [and] there was blood on the front door and throughout the home," the Crown said.
The Crown argued there was a "real concern" that if released on bail, Fallon would potentially "further tamper with evidence" and approach witnesses in the case.
Fallon had allegedly told her mother in a phone conversation, "I can't give up who it was but I will tell what my part was".
Later she had allegedly made the claim, "I stabbed someone, yes the person who is on the news... I'm going to be paying for it for a very long time".
The Crown said the applicant also had a history of non-compliance with bail conditions, had received a prison sentence for failing to appear in court, and had "criminal connections" in Murwillumbah and the broader community.
In his decision, Magistrate Linden said in his view the Crown case was "strong".
He said Fallon had an "unfortunate history" of drug use, break and enter, larceny, serious driving matters and a conviction of four months jail.
"I'm not satisfied cause has been shown and therefore bail is refused," Magistrate Linden said.
Fallon is scheduled to appear before the Lismore District Court on November 23 where she will be formally arraigned and given the opportunity to enter a plea.

Needle-Felted Scarves with Yarn Stripes
Source: Martha Stewart Living, September 2009
In hues of blue, gray, and cream, these scarves evoke the look of men's suiting. The stripes are created with pieces of yarn needle-felted along the length or width of the scarves.
The navy scarf shows how needle-felting looks on both sides: The design on one side is sharp; the other, blurred. As with the roving scarf, you can dress up a store-bought one or use unhemmed woven-wool fabric cut to the size you desire.

Sally Pendleton, a 1997 graduate of Louisville Seminary, has been named Senior Development Director and will join the staff on Jan. 2 in this new position created in the Seminary's Office of Institutional Advancement.
"Sally has a wonderful combination of professional experience in fund development coupled with a love for Louisville Seminary rooted in her theological education," said Linda Medley, Vice President of Institutional Advancement. "We are fortunate to have her joining our team."
Prior to joining Louisville Seminary, Pendleton served for six years at Bellewood Presbyterian Homes for Children, where as Vice President of Development and Community Engagement she led a five-year fundraising and awareness campaign, implemented a major gift program to position the non-profit for a $4 million capital effort and increased the number of volunteers from 120 to more than 1,300.
"With the seminary's bold new strategic plan, Covenant for the Future, the need for outstanding fundraising and increased community engagement could not be any more important," said Pendleton. "I am honored and extremely excited to join the staff at Louisville Seminary. I credit much of my success with the rich and meaningful education I received there, as it prepared me to engage in our diverse and beautiful world in deep and meaningful ways. "
Pendleton joins the Seminary's development team during an important time at Louisville Seminary, which last year announced a bold new strategic plan, Covenant for the Future that calls for tuition-free education for students starting in 2015, expanding efforts to prepare students for a diverse world through its Doors to Dialogue program, and capital improvements for student housing and information technology.
Pendleton, who has master's degrees in both divinity and marriage and family therapy, also worked for the Dunn Mental Health Center in New Albany, IN, the Family and Children's Counseling Center in Louisville and was a Chaplain Intern at the University of Louisville Trauma Center.

Here's a story that will make your inner adolescent cringe: 13-year-old Gabrielle Jackson of Moline Acres, Mo., was being bullied by other students because of her large breasts.
When her mother Tammie Jackson contacted the school district to complain, she was told that her daughter would always be teased because of her busty physique. The unnamed administrator she spoke with also suggested the parents transfer their daughter to another school or get her a breast reduction. In short, bullies will be bullies.
Plus: Girl Elected to Homecoming Court…as a Joke
Jackson was outraged, saying her daughter can't help her changing body, and that taunts about a person's figure should be unacceptable at school. The superintendent has since reached out to Jackson, and is looking into the incident and working with school officials on a plan to curb the harassment. He also says the whole thing may be a "product of miscommunication."
Have your kids ever been teased about their changing body? How did you handle it? Leave a comment.

Oprah Winfrey reached a personal milestone on Wednesday, Jan. 29: her 60th birthday. The TV mogul reflected on her life's biggest accomplishments in the January 2014 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.
"Sixty. I'm turning 60 this month! I'm so glad I've lived long enough to say those words and celebrate their meaning," she wrote before the big day arrived. "I'm turning 60. I'm alive. Healthy. Strong."
"I'm turning 60, and--please don't take offense--I no longer have to be concerned about what anyone thinks of me! (You know, the old Am I doing it right? Am I saying it right? Am I being what or who I'm 'supposed' to be?) I'm turning 60, and I've earned the right to be just as I am," she continued. "I'm more secure in being myself than I've ever been."
NEWS: Why Oprah Winfrey canceled her big 60th birthday party
In hindsight, Winfrey is amazed that she's been able to break so many barriers throughout her 30-plus-year career. "I am in awe of the way my journey here on earth continues to unfold. My life has been marked by miracles for as long as I can recall--and even before," she explained. "My early days speaking in a Mississippi Methodist church--Baptist leanings, shoutin', and Holy Ghost included--prepared me for a future of speaking in a public arena I could never have imagined."
At 60, the savvy businesswoman wants to "share" the lessons she's learned over the years. "I want to continue to encourage as many people as I can to open their hearts to life, because if I know anything for sure, it's that opening my own heart is what has brought me my greatest success and joy."

Winfrey said her "highest achievement" is having an open heart. "Even in my darkest moments--through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals--I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst," she shared. "I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward." Stedman Graham's longtime love adds that "there is extraordinary in the ordinary. Every day and every breath is magic--if we can only see it for what it is."
NEWS: Oprah Winfrey can fix her own toilet, believe it or not
"Some days the awareness of the sanctity and sacredness of life brings me to my knees with gratitude. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that the little girl from Mississippi who grew up holding her nose in an outhouse now flies on her own plane--my own plane!--to Africa to help girls who grew up like her. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!" Winfrey wrote, citing the famous hymn.
"I approach this milestone, the landmark of 60, with humility, supreme thanksgiving, and joy," she concluded. "Knowing for sure grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home."

Skip to comments.Illegal Immigrant License Bill Advances in Calif.
Posted on 09/08/2005 4:49:44 PM PDT by Crackingham
click here to read article
I hope other states respond by refusing to recognize them as legal ID.
Referencing earlier thread from today:
CA Senate Again Approves Drivers License for Illegals 21-15 (goes to the Governor now)
The ones who voted for this, have admitted to a Fed. Crime!! Lock em up.
If someone comes to your house with a duffelbag full of money fresh from a bank robbery and you don't notify authorities, you can be charged as an accessory to the crime. Now here we have illegal aliens crossing into California (across state lines) being provided with legal documents by the state, knowing full well of the recipients' illegal status. What prevents the federal government from sending marshals to Sacramento and removing said legislators in leg irons and orange jumpsuits for accessory to abet illegal immigration and conspiracy to do so in violation of federal law?
Where does the bill say they have to have insurance for when they run into a family and place two or three in a hospital? Replacement costs for their auto and time off from work. Drivers without insurance are accidents looking for a place to happen.
From the article:
The governor's office has consistently said Schwarzenegger does not want to take any action until the federal government finishes deciding its requirements for state licenses ... Congress gave states the option to create distinct driver's licenses for illegal immigrants under the Real ID Act passed in May.
In an attempt to head off Schwarzenegger's concern that California should wait until the federal government details the requirements of the Real ID Act, Cedillo amended his bill last week to incorporate such a delay.
They do have something in common.
We don't need a new law as immigrants to the US can already obtain an international driver's license before they immigrate.
This new bill is unnecessary.
As if he would pay the ticket, or be held in jail once he was found to be illegal.
Easy to trap yourself with your own words when you have only politics but no real principles.
Nothing but cojones.
C.O., That is such a priceless and perfect comment that is deserves repeating!!!
Hey Norm! Does that boat driver of your crusin boat have an illegal alien license??? WATCH OUT FOR THAT ICE BERG!!! Is it time to re-arrange the deck chairs yet???
>>Easy to trap yourself with your own words when you have only politics but no real principles.
So true. But there seems to be an abundance of teflon in Sacramento.
When are they going to issue them commercial pilot's licenses?
Well... Stuff Happens!!! And some of it really, REALLY STINKS!!!
Our captain is Italiano,, so Im not going to ask him for ID. lol
Hang in there, Kalleforniyah.. This can only get better, right?
Off to Sitka for the day. :)
Sitka on it, Norm! I'm jealous!!! (grin)

I've been reading through the various mocks and they all have one thing in common: Seattle will invest heavily in D-linemen and linebackers in 2013. This trend is based on two things: One, JS and PC have been wildly quoted as to the depth of the D-line in this draft. And two, the Seahawks have, (had) a perceived need along their Defensive front. But Seattle went out and signed two of the best D-linemen in Free Agency.
PC and JS also looked over this draft and saw a lack of play-makers, so they went out and got one...Percy Harvin
When it comes to NFL front offices, actions speak much louder than words
So now what? They have eight draft picks and possibly one opening along the defensive front.
You could argue that Seattle biggest weakness, both in starters and in depth, is along the offensive line. Sure they managed to put together a workable line in 2012, in fact, they produced two Pro Bowlers. But the rest of the line is put together with a heavy dose of good coaching, overachievers and is a injury waiting to happen.
The 2013 draft class is the best O-line class to come out in over a decade, there are good players to be had in every round. Look for Seattle to take care of their biggest need by investing heavily in O-line talent. After all, do you really think they are going to trust the safety of their franchise savior with the likes of Breno Giacomini? Think again.

EPA Reaches Agreement with Cerveceria India to Settle Violations of Clean Water Act
Release Date: 07/15/2004
Contact Information:
|(#04111) San Juan, Puerto Rico -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reached an agreement with Cerveceria India, Inc., a beverage company located in Mayaguez, to settle a case against the company for failure to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued under the Clean Water Act. Cerveceria India did not comply with monitoring requirements, develop or implement storm water pollution prevention and emergency plans, or obtain permit coverage for unauthorized storm water discharges into Rio Yaguez, as required by the NPDES permit.
"When left uncontrolled, storm water discharges can contaminate waterways and pose serious risks to human health and the environment," said EPA Regional Administrator Jane M. Kenny. "By taking simple steps like instituting storm water pollution prevention plans, industrial facilities can ensure that their storm water discharges don't impair water quality in area waters."
Cerveceria India had been violating the NPDES permit since October 1999 and was without permit coverage for storm water discharges for its industrial activities since 1992. According to a complaint issued by EPA in September 2003, the company was not taking steps to control storm water as required by its permit. EPA issued two Administrative Compliance Orders in October 2003 and February 2004 respectively, requiring Cervecer¡a India to submit and implement a compliance plan. Cerveceria India has implemented its plan to come into compliance and has agreed to pay a penalty of $120,000. The company is engaged in the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Companies must get a permit under the Clean Water Act before discharging pollutants into a water body. These permits limit levels of pollution in the wastewater and require facilities to monitor and provide information to EPA about the discharge. Stormwater permits are required because pollutants can run off of paved or hard surfaces and carry pollutants into nearby waters. They require monitoring and pollution prevention plans to minimize runoff of polluted stormwater.

Being a good negotiator isn't a skill reserved just for corporate CEOs and United Nations diplomats.
It's an everyday tool useful for all of us, whether we're asking for a raise, interviewing for a job, buying a car, deciding on family vacations, even dealing with our kids over bedtime.
And most of us could be a whole lot better at it.
That's the message of Michael Colatrella, an assistant professor at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law who teaches mediation and negotiation skills to lawyers … and anybody else who wants to sharpen their techniques.
At $999, his three-day Advanced Negotiation seminars aren't for every budget, but he sat down recently with McClatchy Newspapers and shared a few tips. Here's an excerpt:
QUESTION: Most of us aren't high-powered attorneys or corporate dealmakers. Why do we need to be good negotiators?
ANSWER: Negotiation is a life skill. Everyone negotiates every day: with our spouses over housework, with our bosses and colleagues over job responsibilities, with our kids over chores and homework. …
Negotiating can be learned. It's a skill like playing the piano … or playing a sport.
Q: What's the essential skill in negotiating?
A: Setting a goal. Let's say you're buying a car. You go online, do your research, see what it's worth. You pick a number, say $24,000, and tell yourself, "If I don't go above that, I'll have a good deal." But all it really means is you haven't been taken. …
Statistically speaking, you do better when you set optimistic but realistic goals. Some people set goals too high; some too low. Neither are good.
There's nothing more important than preparing in a systematic way. It makes it very difficult to be taken advantage of. You can't anticipate everything but you prepare as much as you can, and adjust accordingly.
Q: How do you prepare for a negotiating session, say, asking your boss for a raise?
A: Whether it's a raise or a starting salary, it's important to have a number in mind. Know what your goals are: a $5,000 raise, the benefits or the vacation (weeks) you want. … Have a picture of how you want the interview to end.
If you know what you're worth, it's to your advantage to make the opening offer. Ask for as high as you can credibly ask, based on your performance, your peers, the industry. For example, if you start at $7,000 a year and the boss had in mind offering you $2,000, then he will counter at something higher, say $3,000. When you negotiate higher, you can influence the middle. Statistically, you increase your chances of doing better.
Q: Is being a bully or a tough guy ever appropriate? And how do you defuse a hothead in negotiations?
A: If you shout back, you'll incite them even more. It'll escalate. It's just like when your kids have a tantrum. If you lose your cool, it sends them into an even greater meltdown.
The better approach is to calmly point out: "I don't appreciate being shouted at. It's not going to help solve this problem. … I know this is important to you. But if we are going to make progress, as I think we can, you will need to speak to me more respectfully."
Q: There have been research and books contending that women don't negotiate for themselves as well as men. Do you feel that's true?
A: There is a gender gap. When women are negotiating for others, like at the negotiating table for their company, there's no difference in their outcomes than with men. They do well. But when it's negotiating for themselves — household chores with a spouse, job responsibilities (at work) — they often don't ask for as much as they deserve.
Q: Is personality important in negotiating?
A: Personality is power. The most effective negotiators are not intimidating personalities but charming personalities. In negotiations, people feel better giving up things to people they like. (Bullies) lose more deals than they get.
Q: How effective is knowing when to walk away?
A: It's very important and one of the hardest skills to learn. In America, we're so impatient. We walk away too soon … rather than persist and push through. Every negotiation of importance will have some obstacles.
A car dealer knows that the longer you're in the showroom, the more likely you'll buy. If you've spent hours (haggling over price) you think, "If I leave now, I'll have wasted all this time. And I'll have to go do it again somewhere else." But sometimes, it's better to walk away than pay an extra $3,000 (and not get the deal you want).
Q: In class, you talk about the need to know your personal negotiating style. Can you explain?
A: There are five negotiating styles: competing ("my way or the highway"); collaborating (seeking the "win-win"); compromising (expedient, but not always best deal); avoiding (sidestepping, postponing for the conflict-averse); accommodating (self-sacrificing, overly generous). None is inherently good or bad … but it's whether you are using it in the right circumstances. We all have a default style where we're more comfortable.
If you're not concerned about the relationship, say when negotiating with a (salesman) you'll never see again, you can be more competitive. But if it's with your spouse about where to go on vacation, (a competing style) may get what you want but the long-term relationship is damaged.
Q: How do you negotiate at home with your wife or kids?
A: I'm negotiating with my kids all the time. They're 3 and 9. If I'm reading a book to my 9-year-old and I'm tired, I'll say, "Let's only read two chapters tonight," knowing she'll say "No, three or four." So we compromise somewhere in the middle. … I'm negotiating ahead of where I need to be. So far, I think I have the edge.
Q: A bottom line?
A: Like the world's top poker players, negotiating is a game of chance but also a game of preparation. … There's a very systematic way to prepare for negotiations with your boss, family member, a car salesman, a refrigerator dealer. Good negotiators don't win every time, but they win more often than everyone else.

Note: I originally wrote this post for Vegan Mainstream, and it is littered with awkward selflies. Enjoy!
With all of those holiday parties around the corner, lady vegans all over will have ample opportunity to play dress up. One of my favorite accessories that immediately dresses up any outfit is one that goes on my face—lipstick. And with the holiday season in mind, I am reviewing my favorite vegan red lipsticks for you—because nothing says "kiss me at midnight" like a bold lip. You're welcome.
1. Zuzu Luxe in Starlet. I found this little ruby while shopping at my local Whole Foods, and it's my favorite go-to basic bold red. You can also find it online for around $18. The ingredient list runs your standard vegan lipstick – jojoba oil and candellila wax- but also has a few more unique additions, like sesame oil. Also, it touts being gluten-free! I don't have a gluten intolerance, but I never thought to check my cosmetics for gluten.
2. Urban Decay in Gash. I am a big Urban Decay fan, and my favorite of their shades is Gash. The hue is as ominous as the name, with a shade that runs darker and deeper than your basic red. I love it so much I have it in both the lipstick, and the lip liner. Unfortunately, the lipstick was limited edition and so you can't find it on their website anymore (womp womp) but it's still floating around on other beauty sites. Prices range between $15 and $25 , depending on where you look.
When I am feeling too lazy to put more than one product on my lip, I often wear the liner as a full on lipstick, and that works great. Snag it for $19.
*Editor's note: Be aware when considering Urban Decay that, though still vegan, they were recently bought by cosmetics giant L'Oréal.
3. LUSH liquid lipstick in Decisive. This bold red has orangey undertones. At 22.95, for only 2 .oz, this product is a little pricy. However, it's handmade, and has interesting ingredients, like rose wax. It also comes with an adorable little application sponge. Lip tip: This was a bit messy, and I found it had better staying power (read: stayed on my lips and off my face) if I put on some lip balm first.
Honorable Mention: E.L.F in Fearless. Every vegan girl on a budget should worship Eyes Lips and Face, which can be found online, and in stores like Target. Why are they so covetable? There products are dirty cheap. This lipstick is only $1. Yes, you read that right. The staying power is not as great as the above three mentioned—I reapplied more than I usually have to–but you really cannot beat the price. Snag a few for yourself, and buy extras as holiday gifts for all your buds.
So what are your favorite cruelty-free cosmetic brands? Do you rock red lips?

Vale, Lawrence Auster.I don't know if anyone else knows or cares, but I have just learned that Lawrence Auster passed from this life on Good Friday.
He wasn't someone that I corresponded with; he was a blogger that I read occasionally - because I had the tendency to get blogged down in his works. He had a lot of worthy and thought-provoking posts.
While it's sad and I am crying, it's also uplifting in a way that some will find difficult to understand.
Good Friday is a good day to die, especially when you have just been received into the Catholic Church.
[39] And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. [40] But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. [42] And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. [43] And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. [44] And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.Luke 23:39-45

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- When Tennessee Tech football coach Watson Brown filled a vacancy on his staff recently, he found a veteran with plenty of experience to fill the void. Brown has announced the addition of Donn Landholm as an assistant coach who will work with Golden Eagle linebackers and special teams.
"We're excited to have Donn joining our staff," Brown said. "He has a lot of outstanding experience, including the past several years at Purdue. He has experience in our league at Eastern Kentucky, and he will be a really outstanding addition to our program."
At Tech, Landholm will coach the linebackers and serve as special teams coordinator.
Landholm spent the past four seasons on the Purdue staff where
he worked with the outside linebackers, advanced scouting of
upcoming opponents and recruiting.
Landholm, who has been coaching for more than 30 years, moved to Purdue in 2009 from Eastern Kentucky, where he coached from 1997 to 2008. Landholm was linebackers coach from 1997 to 2004, defensive coordinator from 2005 to 2007 and linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator in 2008.
In 2005 and 2006, the Colonels ranked among the OVC top three in total defense, allowing merely 328.5 and 309.0 yards per game. The Colonels led the nation in turnover margin in 2007 at plus-18, with 35 takeaways (24 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries).
Landholm also was in charge of the Eastern Kentucky special teams from 2002 to 2007. In 2003, the Colonels led the nation with a 16.5-yard punt return average and, in 2006, they were ninth with a 22.9-yard kickoff return average.
From 1993 to 1996, Landholm was the offensive line coach at Blinn (Texas) Junior College. Blinn won back-to-back junior college national championships in 1995 and 1996, going 12-0 both seasons. Prior to joining the Blinn staff, Landholm was an assistant at PSJA North High School in Pharr, Texas, in 1992.
Landholm coached at Arizona State from 1987 to 1991, the first two years as a graduate assistant with the defense and the final three as a volunteer assistant with the linebackers. The Sun Devils played in the 1987 Freedom Bowl.
Landholm coached the running backs at Montana State in 1986 and at Central Missouri in 1984 and 1985. His career began at Plainview (Neb.) High School, as an assistant from 1979 to 1981 and subsequently as head coach in 1982 and 1983.
A native of Bristow, Neb., Landholm played outside linebacker at Wayne State and earned a bachelor's degree in physical education and political science in 1979. He earned a master's degree in secondary education from Central Missouri State in 1985. Landholm and his wife, Cindi, have three daughters: Kristen, Sarah and Kate.
Landholm and the Golden Eagle coaching staff will be on the field soon; the Golden Eagles open Spring Drills on Tuesday, April 2.

Loved it! An amazing movie. Quite enjoyable and heartfelt.
This movie is one of the best
If not the best animated movie ever
Better than frozen
toy story
Despicable me
And even what framed roger rabbit
Go see it again and again
It's Christmas time
The idea was good. It is insulting to human intelligence that movie makers think children need potty humor & adults need sexual innuendo to be amused - in a nativity story, no less.
Absolutely fantastic! Great for children and adults like! Great animation with intrigue, humor, clever wit, and inspiration for all. We all clapped at the end of the movie and left there feeling on top of the world. Very inspirational and uplifting and totally appropriate for all ages! Helps one better appreciate the "real meaning of Christmas".
Everyone loves animals and these were adorable. The story is great and even though it was not all factual it was very nice. Hopefully it might change a life. Good music. Great for all ages.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie. The story of the nativity is told from the animals point of view. There is humor, great music and some very moving scenes. The cg animation is high quality. I highly recommend it for all ages.
Great fun for a new take at the Christmas story.
This movie is great for all ages. At the end of the movie, the young kids that were at the movie started clapping! What an inspiration to those of us that had brought our grandchildren and children to the movie theater!
Great movie for all ages
Excellent movie for all.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the USDC for the District of Minnesota on behalf of investors who purchased Medtronic, Inc. ("Medtronic" or the "Company") (NYSE:MDT) stock between December 8, 2010 and August 3, 2011.
For more information, click here: http://zlk.9nl.com/medtronic-mdt/.
The complaint alleges that defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements concerning the use of the Company's INFUSE Bone Graft ("Infuse") product for the reduction of complications and pain associated with degenerative disc disease. On June 23, 2011, Medtronic issued a press release acknowledging that the U.S. Senate had requested information regarding Infuse. Then on June 28, 2011, an issue of The Spine Journal identified conflicts of interest concerning the researchers who had performed studies on Infuse. On August 3, 2011, Medtronic announced it would release Infuse data to the public and agreed to pay $2.5 million to Yale University so that researchers might conduct a review of previous studies. According to the complaint, the true facts, which defendants concealed from the investing public during the class period, included that the Company had engaged in a scheme with certain researchers to downplay the risks and side effects associated with Infuse and that once those risks were fully appreciated by surgeons, use of the product would drop significantly.
If you suffered a loss in Medtronic you have until August 26, 2013to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.

Changes were long anticipated and have provided certainty for the industry to continue rapid growth.
Energy policy changes across the Atlantic could affect how long the boom in the U.S. wood pellet industry will last, forestry experts and industry opponents say.
But the company that plans to invest millions into building a pellet-exporting facility at the Port of Wilmington says those changes were long anticipated and have provided certainty for the industry to continue rapid growth.
The United Kingdom, where North Carolina's pellets will be shipped, is changing some of its rules that favor use of pellets in place of coal. It is cutting out subsidies for new power plants that would burn pellets while eventually ending them for plants that are converting from coal to pellets, according to news reports.
The U.K.'s decisions "give certainty to the major utilities there so they can make good investments in converting existing coal-fired plants to biomass (wood products) plants," Enviva Chairman and CEO John Keppler said Monday.
"We have some pretty aggressive plans under way" for the Port of Wilmington and elsewhere in North Carolina, he said.
Enviva has two pellet-producing facilities in North Carolina, at Ahoskie and Northhampton, and has identified several sites in the state for a possible third facility, Keppler said.
Enviva plans to build two concrete storage domes, rail and truck unloading stations and a ship loader/dock-conveyer system at Wilmington. Enviva is not involved in pellet-exporting plans at the Port of Morehead City, which have been scaled back. The cutback is unrelated to European environmental policies, said Laura Blair, spokeswoman for the N.C. State Ports Authority.
U.S. production of pellets is expected to increase from 3 million tons in 2009 to 10 million by 2015, according to a study by Daniel Saloni of the Department of Forest Biomaterials at N.C. State University.
There are or will be six Atlantic ports handling wood pellets between Norfolk and Brunswick, Ga., according to the Southern Environmental Law Center, an environmental advocacy organization based in Charlottesville, Va.
Pascagoula, Miss., is joining the push, planning to spend $30 million to accommodate future pellet exports.
Viable business?
But some question the limits of the wood-pellet export boom.
Opponents of the industry are arguing that burning wood pellets to produce energy not only doesn't make environmental sense but that it eventually won't make economic sense, either.
In addition to the U.K.'s new biomass subsidy policy, Europe is looking at whether it will require stricter requirements that the wood it receives from the United States is third-party-certified as sustainable, according to Dennis Hazel, associate professor and extension specialist for the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at N.C. State University.
One of the largest certifying groups is the Forest Stewardship Council, which originated from the Rain Forest Alliance, Hazel said.
"If your forest is certified, every product" that comes from it is certified, including pellets, he said Monday.
Problem is, there is little third-party-certified land in North Carolina, Hazel said.
If Europe decides to require strict certification, it may cloud the long-term viability of the pellet industry in the state, he said.
Lack of certification by either independent or industry groups is not to say the state's forests are managed badly.
The U.S. Forestry Service thinks "we do forestry pretty well in the Southeast. Most of our land is adequately regenerated" after trees are cut, Hazel said. That means that most cutting, even clear-cutting, allows the forests to come back. That, in turn, shrinks the relative carbon footprint of using North Carolina pellets for power production, he said.
But the forest watchdog group Dogwood Alliance says using the state's forests to produce pellets for power production is far from the European goal to be carbon neutral – producing no more carbon dioxide than is absorbed by regenerated forests.
The alliance's executor director, Danna Smith, said burning pellets for electricity may actually increase carbon emissions compared to coal.
But she also argued that pellet companies are limited in their ability to make money from selling to the United Kingdom.
"It is not a long-term strategy for (the companies)," Smith said. "This is not going to be a long-term development opportunity.
"The justification for this (pellet) market is emission reductions. When you burn a tree that is, say, 20 years old, all that carbon is going into the atmosphere. If that tree had not been logged it would have been storing that carbon plus absorbing more carbon from the atmosphere."
In other words, the forests just can't regenerate fast enough to make the harvesting-burning process carbon neutral, she added.
But the pellet-burning process is never going to be carbon neutral, Hazel said. It, however, can be relatively beneficial.
In the short term, burning pellets may be less advantageous than burning coal. But in the long term it looks good compared to coal, because the forests have time to regenerate, he said.
Regardless of the arguments, Keppler is confident in his company's and the pellet industry's course of high investment and growth.
Nothing, he reiterated, has changed in Enviva's ambitious plans for the Port of Wilmington.

Dangerous ACIDS MADE SAFELY BY Home Chemist (Jul, 1934)
Dangerous ACIDS MADE SAFELY BY Home Chemist
By Raymond B. Wailes
BECAUSE they enter into a wide variety of reactions, acids form an interesting and important group of chemicals. By preparing them in small quantities, the home experimenter can learn a great deal about chemistry and its many mysterious reactions and valuable processes.
The fact that many acids are considered dangerous should in no way dampen the amateur chemist's ardor. Handled cautiously, they are as safe and harmless as a sharp knife in the hands of one who is careful and dexterous. They should, of course, be stored in glass bottles and kept away from clothing and hands. If some acid is spilled accidentally, it should be neutralized immediately by applying a base such as ordinary baking soda.
When diluting a strong acid, always pour the acid into the water, adding it slowly and stirring the mixture with a glass tube or rod. Never pour the acid in quickly. If you do, enough heat may be generated when the two liquids mix to form steam bubbles that will blow the acid and water out of the container.
Although the amateur chemist with his meager supply of equipment cannot prepare concentrated sulphuric acid in his home laboratory, he can manufacture it in a weak form that will illustrate the method and serve to introduce an important chemical phenomenon called catalysis.
To prepare sulphuric acid, you will need some sulphur, water, calcium chlo- ride, and iron (ferric) oxide. The experiment is a simple one and requires only homemade apparatus consisting of a bottle, a flask, glass tubing, a few corks, a glass funnel, a gas burner, and rubber tubing. The parts should be arranged as shown in the illustrations. Flowers of sulphur placed in the shallow lid from a tin can is burned under the funnel at the extreme right. The sulphur dioxide formed together with some air is collected by the funnel and then passes through a drying bottle, containing the calcium chloride, to the horizontal tube of hot iron oxide. The presence of the hot iron oxide causes the sulphur dioxide to steal oxygen from the air and become sulphur trioxide. Because in this reaction, it induces a chemical change in another substance and is unchanged itself, the iron oxide is said to be a catalyst.
Finally, the sulphur trioxide formed is bubbled through water in the absorbing flask at the left. Being soluble, it combines with the water and a weak solution of sulphuric acid results.
Unaided, the original sulphur dioxide formed by the burning sulphur would not follow the desired course through the various tubes and bottles. To pull it through the system, suction must be applied to the mouth of the absorbing flask. This can be done by allowing water to siphon from a gallon jug and applying the suction formed in the jug to the absorbing flask by means of a length of rubber tubing as shown in the drawing.
To prepare the iron oxide catalyst for this experiment, soak some asbestos fiber or pumice stone in iron chloride or some other iron chemical solution until the mass is well saturated. Then add ammonium hydroxide (ordinary household ammonia will serve). This will precipitate iron hydroxide in the pores of the asbestos or pumice. The liquid then can be poured off, fresh water added and shaken and also poured off.
Next heat the impregnated pumice or asbestos in a crucible or tin-can lid over a gas burner. This final operation will convert the iron hydroxide into the desired iron oxide. The finished catalyst then is placed in the horizontal tube and heated gently with a gas burner as the sulphur dioxide is pulled through.
After burning about a teaspoonful of the sulphur, remove the absorber from the system and test the liquid with a piece of blue litmus paper. If an acid is present, the paper will turn pink. To prove that it is sulphuric acid, place a small quantity of the liquid in a test tube and add two drops of hydrochloric acid followed by several drops of barium chloride solution. If sulphuric acid is present, a white precipitate will be formed.
Although sulphuric acid made by this simple process will be weak, it should dissolve bits of magnesium and attack pieces of zinc to produce tiny bubbles of hydrogen gas. Of course, the concentration of the liquid can be increased by boiling but even then the home chemist will find that the acid will be too weak -to be of any great value for experimental purposes. ' It is interesting to note, however, that this same type of contact process is used commercially to manufacture sulphuric acid. Of course, a more expensive substance, usually a form of platinum, is used as the catalyst.
While the home chemist will be interested particularly in the chemical uses of sulphuric acid, he can perform a novel experiment to illustrate one of its important physical properties. In a concentrated form, sulphuric acid is capable of absorbing large quantities of moisture from the air. For this reason, it is often referred to as being hygroscopic. To understand this action more clearly, place some strong sulphur- ic acid in a small vessel and expose it to the air. The acid will absorb so much water from the surrounding air that it soon will overflow the container.
Besides many of its other valuable uses, concentrated sulphuric acid can be used to produce another useful chemical —nitric acid. This is done by placing some sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate in a glass retort containing a quantity of sulphuric acid made by mixing equal parts -of the acid and water. When the chemicals are heated, nitric acid vapors will be given off and can be condensed to a liquid by cooling.
To condense these vapors, the best procedure is shown in the photograph. Insert the end of the retort outlet tube in the mouth of a flask and rest the flask in a glass funnel. A stream of water directed on the upper face of the flask then will serve to cool it and condense the vapors leaving the retort. The funnel will serve to catch the cooling water which can be led through a rubber tube to a drain or a large pan or bottle placed on the floor.
Nitric acid manufactured by this method will be found to be quite energetic in its action with metals, carbonates, and other chemicals. Because of its activity, it should be stored in glass-stoppered bottles. It will attack both cork and rubber.
By using sulphuric acid and a small amount of iron sulphate solution, the home experimenter can test for the presence of nitric acid or nitrates. Simply place about a quarter of an inch of the sulphuric acid in a test tube, add an equal amount of iron sulphate solution, being careful not to shake the tube, and then slowly add the liquid to be tested by allowing it to run down the walls of the tube. If a brown ring is formed when the solution reaches the area between the acid and the iron sulphate and gentle heating causes the ring to disappear, it is proof that either nitric acid or a nitrate is present.
Hydrochloric acid, a third member of the important acid family, can be produced by adding ordinary table salt to sulphuric acid and heating the mixture.
Like nitric acid, hydrochloric acid also should be made in an all-glass retort. The end of the exit tube dipped into a water-cooled flask of water then will lead the gas through the water where it will be dissolved to form liquid hydrochloric acid. Although the home chemist can manufacture hydrochloric acid by this method, it will be less expensive and troublesome to use commercial muriatic acid (slightly impure hydrochloric acid).
It is a simple matter to test the distillate formed for hydrochloric acid. If a drop of silver nitrate solution is added to any solution of a chloride, a white curdy precipitate will be formed. Exposed to the sunlight, this precipitate of silver will change to a dark brown owing to decomposition.
An interesting experiment showing how heating may decompose a substance can be performed with some sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride). Being produced when hydrochloric acid gas comes in contact with ammonia gas, it can be made to break apart again by applying heat.
To separate the two gases when they are set free, the home chemist must employ a niterlike wad of asbestos fibers or other nonflammable substance rammed into a glass tube to form a plug. Ammonium chloride then is inserted into the tube at one side of the plug and the tube is mounted horizontally above the small flame of a gas burner.
IN A few seconds, the ammonium chloride will begin to decompose to form hydrochloric acid gas and ammonia gas. Being lighter than the hydrochloric acid gas, the ammonia will diffuse, spread, or travel faster and will issue from the open end of the tube nearest the porous plug. The presence of the gas can be shown by holding a moist strip of red litmus paper near the mouth of the tube until it turns blue. Similarly, the hydrochloric acid gas will issue from the other end of the tube and will give evidence of its presence by coloring damp blue litmus red. In these experiments with acids, and in fact in any experiment where a chemical in a long tube must be heated evenly, the flame-spreading attachment shown in the photograph will form a valuable addition to your gas burner. If you made the burner previously described (P.S.M., May '33, p. 53) you will recall that the stack was made from a six-inch piece of three-eighths-inch iron pipe. To make a flame spreader, simply select a three-eighths-inch pipe cap, saw three slots across the top of the cap sixty degrees apart, drill holes at the ends of each slot, and finally screw the cap into place on threads cut in the upper end of the burner.

Sony just won the console war for this generation. Not only is the PS4 going to be cheaper, Sony's CEO gloated on stage last night at E3 with the biggest possible grin as he detailed that all that nonsensical DRM crap that Microsoft is pulling, like blocking used games sales and stuff like that? Yeah, Sony's PS4 will have none of that. Sony even made an instructional video to explain how sharing games works.

Discs don't have DRM per-se,
You can run your own homebrew software in a PS4? Like you can run a homebrew apk in Android?
Also, can you just see tge contents of a PS4 disc with a PC Bluray drive? No, the disc is drmed
PS4 is region-free
When it comes to Bluray movies? How. Even if the games are not region locked, the device contains region lock.

A retired teacher from Antioch, California is walking from Olympia, Washington to West Palm Beach, Florida for Locks of Love. Dan Lyons arrived in Pleasantville Monday, where he stayed with the Golay family, and is passing through Knoxville today, where he will be staying at the Red Carpet, courtesy of the motel. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 in the United States and Canada who are suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Lyons is doing this cross country walk for the group because they provided a hairpiece for his daughter before she lost her life to cancer at age 17. He doesn't accept donations for the group–he encourages people instead to donate through the website http://locksoflove.org [1]. Lyons will be traveling G40 to Highway 14 south to Knoxville Tuesday, and then down Highway 5 to Attica and Lovilla for the next couple of days. If anyone is interested in providing accommodations for Lyons in southern Marion County Wednesday evening, they can call 641-204-9122.

Delany's Colorful Creative Space
Name: Delany (Due this month)
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
When my husband and I found out we were having a baby we were both excited and overwhelmed! We knew that the room that would become our future nursery was a HUGE project.
Due to a leaky roof, it smelled like mildew and needed new drywall, windows and lighting. Thankfully, between the two of us we make a pretty good team, as he is an engineer and I'm an art teacher.
I started designing the very day we found out we were having a girl. I knew I didn't want any particular theme, and it is important to me that this little girl has a room that will grow with her. I had been spending a lot of time on the Urban Outfitters websitem and the quilt in the nursery caught my eye. I love all of the colors and patterns incorporated in it.
After months of drywalling and installing new windows we finally got to the fun stuff! I had originally wanted to put up wallpaper but soon realized it was outside our budget. Instead I opted for a wall stencil from Whitewall & Co. The chair was a little gem I found for $30 on Craigslist. I sewed a slipcover for it, and my husband made it into a rocking chair by attaching a rocking mechanism to the bottom. The dresser was another DIY project that I finished with paint and scrap paper. Originally there was a niche in the wall on the left side of our chimney. I sketched up a plan for shelves and my husband built them as a "backboard" for the bed. After eight months of work and lots of DIY projects our nursery is finally finished and ready for our baby girl to come home!
Thanks, Danielle!
