Well, it is that time of month already, the 15th and so I am here with the theme for this month's challenge at Merly Impressions. And the theme for this month is... drum roll...
... Recipe, but with a twist: choose a line from the box above ( horizontally, vertically or diagonally) and you will have 3 elements to use on your layout. So it is quite open as you kinda choose your recipe! All you have to do is state on your post or gallery which elements you worked with and link back to the Merly Impressions challenge on the Merly Impressions Blog.
So as always here is my own take on the challenge:
I used the diagonal Layers/ Flowers/ Paint for my layout.
I love the paper I used for this background!!! It is from the Timeless Collection, a must have in my opinion! I also used a mix up of Kaisercraft papers from different collection behind my photograph for my "layer" bit.
I am crazy about those typewriters alphas!!! I mounted them on foam pads for extra dimension! It really makes a big difference!
For more details about the challenge and to enter don't hesitate to pass by the Merly Impressions blog where you can also post your entry. I hope this inspired you and that you will play along!!!

Balletone fitness classes incorporate ballet movement in a fun, cardio workout. Anyone can do Balletone – no dance experience is needed.
When serious dancers hear this, they may think that the class is not for them. However, Balletone classes will enhance their dance performance.
The pilates-inspired exercises that are mixed into the class help strengthen the core. Dancers will be amazed to see how their balance inproves and how much stronger thier ankles get after taking these classes.
Also, Balletone class movement is non-stop for at least the first 25 minutes, so students get the cardio benefit. This is different than the traditional dance class where the teacher demonstrates and then the students perform the exercise.
Fitness and dance experts alike recommend cross-training. If you are a serious dancer, try Balletone classes as a means of cross-training!
Find our more about Balletone at www.Balletone.com

Reliance JioFiber broadband is in trials in six cities, confirms Jio
Lately, there has been a lot of buzz going on about the Reliance JioFiber broadband service. Recently, we saw that the broadband service is coming soon offering 100GB data at 100Mbps speed free for 90 days on paying a refundable amount of Rs.
4,500 under the Preview Offer.
Reliance Jio has started testing this broadband service in select cities in the past. Now, the company has officially confirmed that they are testing the service in six cities and that the service will be expanded to other major cities across India in the coming days. The company has also confirmed the Preview Offer in these six cities. The official Twitter handle of Reliance Jio, @JioCare confirmed this information while replying to a user's query. It has been confirmed that the JioFiber Preview Offer is offered in select areas of Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi-NCR, Surat, and Vadodara.
Also read: JioFiber Preview Offer to offer 100GB data at 100Mbps speed free for 90 days1
Under the Preview Offer, Reliance Jio will offer free services to its employees and people known to them for testing purposes. Even the Jio 4G service was initially offered to the employees and their friends as Preview Offer before being launched for the public. What's interesting is if JioFiber Preview Offer is rolling out now, then the service might be officially rolled out to the public in the coming months. There are speculations that it will provide free services under the Welcome Offer just like it did with 4G service.
Also read: Jio 4G VoLTE feature phone to be priced at Rs.
If the JioFiber is launched with 100Mbps speed and remains free for 90 days, then it will definitely create a tough competition to the other service providers in the broadband arena.
Already, Airtel is gearing up with its fiber service offering 100Mbps speed to compete with Jio.

Okay, I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, but in the new issue of FHM magazine, Hilary Duff's breasts are looking a hell of a lot bigger than they usually do, and from the way she's looking at them, I think she agrees. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Hilary Duff's boobs look that big.
So one has to ask the question: Did Hilary Duff get breast implants? It could just be the dress she's wearing, and a mighty powerful push-up bra, but whatever it is, it's definitely working. The real question, of course, is does it really matter?

Question: If I work out should I do the 5 meals? What if I don't work out that day-stick to the 5 meals? I was talking to my boyfriend and he feels less calories when you don't work out is better. Do you have any suggestions to kick start a weight loss plan for myself- I'm 5"11 and weigh 162...I would like to get in the 140's and maintain...what major tips do you have- I'm 26 years old too if that helps....thanks!!ReplyDelete
Hey Brandy,ReplyDelete
Your boyfriend is right, you should eat according to your activity levels. First you need to find out what your range of calories should be on light days (which would be days off, arms,and shoulders) and heavy days (back, legs, chest, or any other day you feel you hit it really hard in the gym). I jumped on bodybuilding.com to use their calculator and it looks like your range is 1650-1950 calories. To answers your other question, yes, I would definitely try to eat every 2.5-3 hours. It doesn't necessarily matter how many meals that ends up being (as you can see it's 7 for me), just as long as you're sticking to your calorie range. I would definitely say you should check out Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer on bodybuilding.com... here's the link: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-easons-livefit-introduction.html it's a great plan and it lays everything out for you, all you have to do is do it! Hope that helps!

Just whipped this up & stuck it in the Fridge for my hubby & me for breakfast in the morning! Im excited to taste it, he is a really picky eater so we'll see how this goes over :)ReplyDelete
Let me know the verdict! :)ReplyDelete
I love your blog! Thank you so much for all of your ideas! You are stunning as well. I am curious as to how you eat your oats in the morning? Do you heat it up on the stove or eat it cold?ReplyDelete
I started reading your blog and I absolutely love it. I want to try the overnight oats. I was wondering....how long do you put it in the microwave for?ReplyDelete
Jessica and Stephanie- I eat them cold! Sounds weird but it's actually really good!ReplyDelete
One more question:-/ what type of oats and protein powders do you specifically do you use? thanks a bunch!ReplyDelete
Hi Jessica! I get my oats from the bulk aisle at Whole Foods or Sunflower Market and I use Dymatize Iso 100 protein powder in vanilla. Don't hesitate if you have other questions!ReplyDelete
- NovellaFebruary 8, 2012 at 9:57 AM
so the oats and egg whites don't get cooked at all? just straight in the fridge? i'm definitely going to give this a shot, just wanted to be sure first!ReplyDeleteReplies
Straight out of the fridge! Just make sure you use pasteurized egg whites!Delete
I'm curious about the oats as well, and it kind of goes along with Jessica's question. Do you use quick oats or the old fashion oats? Is there an advantage to old fashion vs quick or vise-versa?ReplyDeleteReplies
I use rolled oats from the bulk section at my local health food store. Rolled oats (or old fashioned) are better than quick oats because they take more energy for your body to digest.Delete

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley with Alexis and Jim Bellino at LAVO Nightclub.
Photos by Denise Truscello/WireImage
Enjoying Valentine's Day at LAVO Nightclub were couples Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley along with their Real Housewives of Orange County co-stars Alexis and Jim Bellino. Alexis was thrilled when Jim surprised her with the trip to Vegas for the holiday and shared that her favorite Valentine's gift is always jewelry.
Gretchen and Slade were celebrating more than just the romantic holiday, sharing that it was also their anniversary and that they were toasting Gretchen's new single, "Nothing Without You". The foursome dined with friends on Italian favorites before heading up to a VIP table along the LAVO stage where they danced the night away to the sounds of DJ Reach. Gretchen and Slade even took to the catwalk for some dirty dancing.

After an Earthquake
Keep calm, switch on the transistor radio and obey instructions
Keep away from beaches and low banks of river. A huge wave may sweep in
Expect aftershocks
Turn off the water, gas and electricity
Do not smoke, light match or use a cigarette lighter
Do not turn on switches there may be gas leak or short circuit
Use a torch
If there is any fire, try to put it out or call fire brigade
Immediately clean up any inflammable products that may have spilled
Strength of Earthquake
The intensity and strength of an earthquake is measured on
Richter Scale
,invented by Charles Richter, USA in 1935, which categories earthquake on the basis of energy released.
Earthquake in india
Depending upon the frequency and intensity of the earthquakes, the whole country can be divided into
three broad seismological zones
Himalayan zone
The areas most prone to earthquake in India is the Fold Mountains Ranges of the Himalayan zone. The states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Bihar, the Bihar- Nepal border and north eastern states come under this zone
The earthquakes in these zones are primarily due to plate tectonics.
The region along the Himalayas where two plates meet is highly earthquake prone and hence known as the
zone of maximum intensity
Indo-Gangetic zone
To the south of the Himalayan zone and running parallel to it is the Indo-Gangetic Zone.
Most of the earthquakes striking this zone are of moderate intensity of 6 to 6.5 on Richter scale.
Therefore this zone is called the
Zone Of Comparative Intensity.
The earthquakes along the foothill are of medium to high intensity. However, the earthquakes of this zone are more harmful due to high density of population in this area.
The Peninsular Zone
Hazardous effects of Earthquake
Topographical Changes
Damage to transport systems
Chances of fire short circuit
Chances of flood
Chances of outburst of epidemic
water pipes, sewers are disrupted
Communications such as telephone wires are damaged
Economic activities are severely affected
Predicting Earthquakes
Unusual animal behaviour
Changes in water level
Temperature change
large scale fluctuations of oil flow from oil wells
foreshocks or minor shocks before major Earthquakes
changes in seismic wave velocity
If you are in a house
Use lift for getting down from building
Be prepared to move with your family
If you are in a shop,school, office or theater
Run for an exit. (Stampede could prove fatal)
Take cover under a desk/table
Move to corner or side walls
Move towards window glass.
Go near electric points and cable.
Keep away from weak portion of the building and false ceiling
If you are in a high-rise building
take protection under a desktable
Rush for exits
stay in the building until the shaking stops
Use elevator
If you are outside
avoid high buildings, walls, power lines and other objects that could fall and create block
don't run through streets
If possible, move on to an open area away from hazard including trees.
If you are in a vehicle
stop in a safe and open place
Move outside the vehicle
close windows, doors and vents
The peninsular India has presumably remained a stable landmass and only few earthquakes have been experienced in this region. This region is, therefore, called the
zone of minimum intensity.
But the sever earthquakes of
Konya (1967)
Latur (1993)
Jabalpur (1997)
have raised doubts about the seismic stability of this landmass.
What causes Earthquakes???
Folding and faulting
A fault is defined as a fracture plane along which the rocks have been displaced. There are vertical as well as horizontal displacements. Earthquakes are caused due to sudden movements of rocks along faults. Such earthquakes are called tectonic earthquakes.
Anthropogenic Factors
Human interference with nature causes artificial earthquakes.
The underground testing of H-bombs can result in artificial earthquakes. Such earthquakes can be compared with a shallow volcanic earthquake.
Plate Tectonics
There are 7 large and 12 small plates which are in continuous motion.
These plates move along three distinctive types of boundaries, that is :
Convergent boundaries
: where plates push each other and one plate slides down the other one
Divergent boundaries
: where plates pull away from each other.
Transformed boundaries
: where plates slide past each other.
The plate tectonic theory is the most convincing and widely accepted
Volcanic explosions are certainly the most common cause of earthquakes in the neighbourhood of active volcanoes. Such earthquakes are, therefore, known as volcanic earthquakes.

What is a Tsunami??
A Tsunami is a violent disturbance deep below the Earth's surface
Underwater earthquakes and subduction zones are the most common causes
When an oceanic plate hits a continental plate the plates press together and pressure builds.
Eventually the heavier oceanic plate slips under the lighter continental plate and causes an earthquake.
The earthquake lifts part of the ocean up and drops other parts down.
The gravity acts fast to even out the water's surface. The seismic energy created that big wave and it doesn't just disappear. Waves start moving up to 600 miles per hour.
The Tsunami extends thousands of feet deep into the ocean.
Tsunamis carry lots of water and energy. So they can travel very far.

We cannot stop earthquakes, but we can learn more, in hopes of discovering ways to protect ourselves from them.
If a building is being constructed in a city that has experienced earthquakes, new plans and building materials should be used to strengthen the building. Recently, materials like this have been invented, such as a combination of steel and rubber plates on buildings to absorb the shock of the earthquake.
Another easy safety thing for earthquakes is for the government of a city to invest in a proper seismograph centre, and make sure there is always at least one person monitoring it in case of an earthquake.
Simple precautions are the most effective way to minimize earthquake damage.
Thank U!!!
Earthquake is a violent tremor in the earth's crust, sending out a series of shock waves in all directions from its place of origin or epicenter.
Earthquakes constitute one of the worst natural hazards which often turn into disaster causing widespread destruction and loss to human life.

With the newest James Bond movie, SPECTRE, coming out this weekend, it seemed as good a time as any to pay homage to one of the original Bond Girls-- Shirley Eaton, who suffered an unfortunate demise at the hands of Auric Goldfinger way back in 1964. Eaton's famous look later made the cover of LIFE.
So fifty-one years later, with the James Bond franchise still going strong, I messaged my friend Ashke to see if she'd be interested in doing a photoshoot along those lines. She agreed, and soon after our mutual friend Mad Morrigan Cosplay agreed to come along to help with hair and makeup.
So this ended up being the first entry in my "Bodies in Color" photoshoot series in which I didn't do most of the makeup myself. (Actually, that's not quite true... in #3 Stephanie did a fair bit of her own makeup as well, but this was the first time I didn't really have anything to do during the makeup phase.)
I had planned to do standard brush-and-sponge painting, rather than airbrush painting, but Morrigan is a master of the airbrush and was carrying her own airbrush in her car, so that's what we went with. It actually worked better than I expected; I was afraid the metal powder would clog the airbrush. But the paint looked fantastic at the end. The one downside was that it was a longer process, and because I hadn't brought a box fan (which really helps with ventilation for airbrush painting), the hotel room was covered in a very fine layer of golden dust by the end.
By that time, we were all ready to start taking photos. I had chosen the hotel room based on Expedia pictures, and while I was fairly pleased with the setting, I did inevitably run into problems. The nice wooden headboard, which had looked cool and classy when booking online, was actually incredibly reflective and glossy, and shone under the light of the flash like it was a mirror. There was also a painting with a reflective glass surface that had been glued to the wall; both of these things gave me headaches as I tried to get the lighting right.
But despite a few hiccups, I'm pleased with the pictures we got. I got the shots I really wanted to get... the silhouetted legs in the vaguely reminiscent style of a Bond opening sequence; lying on the bed, the victim of Auric Goldfinger; and of course, we did a nod to Shirley Eaton's cover from the November 1964 issue of LIFE.
You can see some more pictures in the slideshow below; I may add some more in the coming days. I also added a few behind-the-scenes of the makeup process at the very end. Many, many thanks to Ashke and Morrigan for helping make this shoot happen!

Health insurance is a type of insurance that helps cover costs of expensive health, surgical, and medical costs. Among the many different types of payment medical providers support, your health care insurance can help reimburse what you paid or directly pay the provider itself. One of the easiest ways to help compare health plans in Cowen, WV is to receive your own free online quote via Wirefly. This is an easy to use and helpful service that can make finding and signing up for health insurance simple.
You can easily identify which health care plans are available to you through either your private insurance or your job's employers. If you're a senior citizen you can view your plans through Medicare and if you are part of a low income family you can view your plans through Medicare or Medicaid. However, another thing to keep in mind is what level of health care coverage you require. If you need to cover more serious injuries or preexisting conditions you will need higher-costing plans versus those who only need anticipate fewer health care needs.
Forecasting your future health needs can be a difficult endeavor since life is so unpredictable. Therefore, you cannot accurately approximate the amount of coverage you will require for the following year. The best way to analyze your health needs is by using past health records to determine what you are likely to require in the near future.
For example, people who are generally healthy and do not go to hospital often are best suited for low cost health coverage. However, a person who is suffering from a chronic condition and needs to see the doctor regularly will need to get a package that has wider coverage.
Catastrophic-only insurance is among the cheapest health insurance policy types in Cowen, WV. This type of coverage is meant for persons who rarely go to the hospital and who only want to insure themselves against an unprecedented emergency. This coverage may also suit people who are involved in high-risk activities since it caters for regular doctor appointments and ER visits.
Higher insurance coverage involves high monthly premiums. Therefore, the more one pays in terms of monthly costs, the more their insurance company will pay for their health care needs. Therefore, it is important to factor your health history and lifestyle when choosing a medical insurance plan. You should cover the basics before considering additional coverage.
As in other areas of the country, there are many types of health plans available in Cowen, WV. Each plan can offer a similar level of coverage for subscribers but with varying levels of flexibility and practicality. HMO, PPO, POS, HSA, HRA, FSA, and MSA are some of the major types of plans available today. In order to choose the best option, the subscriber will want to understand the basics of each type of plan.
The first type of plan to mention is the HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization. HMO plans are made up of a network of physicians and requires you to have a primary care physician, or PCP. The PCP acts as gatekeeper to all your healthcare needs. If one needs the care of a specialist, he or she will have to see the PCP on file first to obtain a referral to the specialist. HMO plans will generally have lower premiums than other health insurance plans. Options on healthcare providers may be limited if physicians in the area don't accept HMO plans. Costs on this type of plan are usually reasonable and predictable.
PPO, or Preferred Provider Organization, is another popular type of plan in Cowen, WV. PPO plans have a large network of providers and doesn't require a PCP. Specialists can be seen without referral and, as long as they are within the network of preferred providers, the subscriber will pay the preferred co-pay for services rendered. Most PPO plans have deductibles that must be met and limits for yearly out of pocket expenses.
Point of Service Plans, or POS, is a combination of an HMO and PPO plan. As long as the subscriber visits providers participating in the network, then the co-payments are low and there are no deductibles to be met. On the other hand, if a provider must be seen who is not in the provider network, then deductibles and high copayments will apply.
The other types of plans available to subscribers in Cowen, WV are not traditional but can be just as effective. These alternatives include the HSA (Health Savings Account), FSA (Flexible Spending Arrangement), and the MSA (Medical Savings Account). These accounts run on money set aside by the subscriber or their employer, usually from pre-tax wages, and is meant to be used to pay medical related expenses. These expenses include prescriptions, co-pays, and some accounts will even cover OTC medications. Unused money in these accounts at the end of the year may be able to roll over to the next year.
To have health insurance coverage in Cowen, WV, people will pay premiums each month. Even if you do not go to the doctor, you will not get the money back. Depending on the insurance plan, a deductible might be required. A deductible is the amount of money a person will be required to pay at the doctor's visit. Many doctors require the deductible to be paid up front.
Deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses are different. A deductible means the amount a person will pay yearly before the insurance begins, and out-of-pocket expenses is what individuals will pay before the insurance company will pay the full bill.
When a new year begins, both deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses will reset. Going forward, the previous year's expenses will affect what happens. For example, if a person in Cowen, WV has a deductible of $4000 and they spend $3000 out-of-pocket, the insurance plan will remain the same for the next year. The $3000 does not carry over, so they out-of-pocket expenses will be $0. Some plans allow rollovers to occur. Therefore, the deductible amount a person paid can be used for the first quarter of the next year.
When a person visits the doctor, he might be required to pay a copayment or coinsurance. If the co-payment is $50 each time a doctor's visit occurs, the insured will be required to pay $50. The insurance will pay the remaining portion of the bill. Co-payments will not be put toward the deductible.
In some cases, an insurance company will offer a maximum lifetime benefit. This is the most amount of money that the insurance company will completely pay for the healthcare. After a person has used all of the money, the company will no longer pay for any medical services.
Where a person works has a huge impact on health insurance coverage. Larger companies will provide a group health insurance plan. These are usually less expensive than if a person chooses a private plan. However, by law individuals are not required to participate in an employer's plan.
Self-employed or unemployed individuals have the choice to buy private individual health insurance. Government programs, such as Medicare will assist seniors in receiving health care. Medicaid will assist people who make lower income.
Individuals need to ask their physician in Cowen, WV which insurance plans they take if they want to continue seeing a certain doctor. If a person's insurance plan changes he needs to make sure he informs his doctor of the change. If the insured has any questions about coverage, he should contact the insurance company with any questions.
Since it's impossible to predict what will happen from one day to the next, having health insurance is definitely a great decision that will benefit both you and your family. While it can sometimes be very difficult to ascertain which health insurance plan is the best, Wirefly can make the search very simple and hassle-free. Just by entering a ZIP code, you will receive a health insurance quote detailing the available plans in Cowen, WV.
When deciding on a plan, make sure not to skimp on your specific health care needs. Though it's certainly possible to save some money if certain coverage types are excluded, it's essential that you don't eliminate coverage types that you'll actually need in the future. While the premiums for insurance plans aren't exactly affordable, the out-of-pocket expenses associated with medical care when not insured can be far higher. By using Wirefly, you can find the best insurance plan for your needs, which can save you a lot of time and money. Just enter your ZIP code for a free quote today.

Following on the heels of our last test of a belted diaper here's another one for you. The subject of attention this time is the Abena Abri-Wing.
Caveat emptor before we begin: Don't get hung up on the package depicted. It seems they simply look different in different countries while the content is the same. Since I got mine once more from SaveExpress, it's quite possible that this is a re-imported version. As far as I can tell the official German version comes in the usual white/ dark blue packages with the Premium label slapped on and turned 90 degrees on its edge, so the carrying strap is on the narrow side, but that's about the only real difference. For all intents and purposes, you always end up with the same breathable product.
With that out of the way, it's time to look at the actual product. I'll probably never get over my dislike for this sort of diaper, and this product only reaffirms my reservations. I'm really beginning to wonder whether manufacturers do any actual real-world testing (you know, on actual people, not lab mannequins) before they bring this stuff to the market. There's several issues with this one as well, but before we venture off getting picky about the bad parts, let's point out the good points.
As such, one can't deny that the diaper sits reasonably well and its dimensions are within the regular size assignments. I had no issues fitting this size M where I thought it should go on my waist line and it stayed there throughout the whole period of wearing. The straps are soft and feel comfortable on your skin, while they are stable enough to withstand even some heavy pulling. Similar to the Seni Optima they also stay in place in the overlapping areas, though a bit less perfectly. There is some minor sliding and it's possible to have the ends come out and dangling freely just with a little bit of tucking on the protruding parts.
Someone also had the good sense to not let the velcro pad that acts as the buckle touch the edges. Technically, the same could be said for the arresting regions of the front flap, but here it gets a bit dicey. Unfortunately Abena have followed Tena's example and are hiding those bits under the flap. Trouble ensues because naturally you'll never get it right on the first attempt and end up putting it too high or too low, so it scratches on your skin. In my case this is exacerbated by the belt rolling up under my belly, so it's very hard to get it sitting right without causing skin irritations. This method fails us a second time since the pad is rather narrow for obvious reasons and thus the offending parts are in even less preferable locations. Needless to say that it's also not wide enough to offer satisfactory coverage of my butt.
The pad itself is pretty nice and offers decent absorbency, but you should not hope to ever be able to exploit it fully. Perhaps this is where the fundamental design flaw of flex diapers reveals itself – they're really just oversized pads with tapes bolted on and without the extra material that otherwise allows to adapt the fit or offers extra sealing. Unless the pad naturally flows with your body contours, there's always the risk of seepage. I feel compelled to recommend at least wearing something spandex-like to press the pad against your body. It might also help to go with a thinner version like M2 in this case. I had the distinct impression that the pad being squeezed and rolled between my legs contributed to certain malfunctions.
Similar things could be said for the front part. It's hard to imagine why the pad reaches so far up when there is no sideways extensions that would stop anything from escaping left or right. Since like 70 percent of all leakage are in these lateral regions, I wouldn't consider this product particularly suitable for night-time use or anything that has to do with sleeping or resting in a side position for that matter. Unless I had an erection, I wouldn't even be able to get to those frontal areas way up high, which goes back to my comment about never being able to fully exploit the absorbent pad. Funny enough, this is the single area where the Tena Flex outdoes the competitors simply because of its smaller overall shape causes a more snug fit.
I'm naturally massively biased from the outset and everything I say should be taken with the necessary grain (or spoonful) of salt. However, try as I might, I just can't find a good way of using these belted diapers on myself. Perhaps if I had the body of a swimmer or dancer… Things being what they are, I'm not saying that this is a terrible product, but time and again I have to use my cautionary "You will have to see for yourself and do some serious testing." here. The circumstances under which it will work are too specific and trying to lay them out here would end up as a furball of "if" and "when" that make the infinite possibilities of a quantum superposition look like a picnic. ;-) Let's just say that out of a thousand people only a few ones will ever be perfectly satisfied with such a product.

The Federation or Edwardian fireplace

The fireside inglenook created an informal area for reading and conversation.
Although Edward VII reigned from 1901-1910 the style known as Edwardian covers the period from around 1900 to 1920, after the end of the first World War.
- It is considered an age of elegance typified by the luxury and opulence of the Titanic.- from The comfort of Hearth and Home
- At the start of the Edwardian Era most fireplaces would still have been composed of a cast iron frame incorporating tilesets on sliders on either side, usually with a painted mantlepiece made from slate, pine or deal.
- Mahogany and oak mantlepieces were still popular but were never painted.
43 Rangers Road Cremorne
- After World War 1, taller mantles incorporating mirrors were an innovation of the period and both cast, copper and tiled inserts were put in them.
- Marble mantles were still popular in grander homes but generally were on the wane.
Reflecting Arts and Crafts values of integrity of use of material,timber was favoured over marble and marbled timber.
- Woodwork was treated in a straight forward manner:
- painted a monochrome colour, often white,
- or waxed to enhance the natural appearance,
- or stained or 'fumed' to a darker colour in preference to French polishing.
- overmantels with bevelled-edge mirrors,
- turned or reeded legs, and small cabinets with leadlight or copper detailing.
- Simple mantelpieces in more modest homes or those seeking to express humbler values, used plainer shaped brackets supporting the mantelshelf and detailing.
The Art Nouveau influence became stronger after the turn of the century, expressed in the characteristic majolica glazed tiles using "tube lining" for the sinuous designs and vibrant colours.
|35 Middle Harbour Road LINDFIELD
- Hearths were usually tiled and continued to be flush with the floor with mitred corners.
- The cast iron insert, generally square with a hood and tiled cheeks, also was used for Art Nouveau detailing.
- Emerging nationalism could be seen in the use of Australiana motifs

InglenooksAn inglenook (Modern Scotsingleneuk), or chimney corner, is a small recess that adjoins a fireplace.
- Inglenooks originated as a partially enclosed hearth area, appended to a larger room.
- With changes in building design, kitchens became separate rooms, while inglenooks were retained in the living space as intimate warming places, subsidiary spaces within larger rooms.[1]
Corner FireplacesThe corner fireplace is said to have been invented by Sir Christopher Wren, the famous British architect of St Paul's Cathedral and of 51 other churches of London. [4]
- Corner fireplaces were said to have been a feature of Wren's domestic work. They consequently became a fashion at the time.
- By 1700 the corner fireplace was used in great houses and taverns across Britain and America
- They were introduced into Australian Federation houses after 1900 chiefly to save space, and to allow massing of the chimney stacks.
- However, the angling of the side walls also has the beneficial effect of radiating more heat into the room.
- In Australian Federation homes, corner fireplaces are a feature of the smaller, builder-designed homes, not the large houses, and were frequently installed in bedrooms.
- The introduction of gas heatingin the 1930s, and finally of central heating made the fireplace an anachronism.
Here's a real estate riddle: What do most homeowners want even though they rarely use it?
The answer: a fireplace.
Look at the statistics. Even if it's used only minimally, a fireplace in a home makes sense.
The (US) National Association of Realtors reported that a fireplace increases the value of a home by nearly $12,000.
A sampling of Washington-area real estate agents agreed that fireplaces are high on many buyers' wish lists, but most disagreed with the notion that a fireplace can add $12,000 to the value of a property.
"That number may be true in New England, but, in this area, it's closer to $5,000 to $7,000 — that's what most appraisers would say is the added value," said Dana Scanlon, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Capital Properties in Bethesda.
"To be able to say 'wood-burning fireplace' or 'gas fireplace' in the listing is high-impact," he said. "You also want to be sure to have fireplace shots in any videos or brochures."
Fireplaces: rising from the ashesFireplaces are making a comeback, adding romance, grandeur or a modern edge to a room. And they can make or break a sale, says Christopher Middleton. 21 Dec 2012
Turn the clock back fifty years and the traditional fireplace looked like a thing of the past. Central heating had taken over as a source of warmth. Thick plumes of grey smoke seemed incompatible with shiny modern Britain. Across the country fireplaces were being boarded up, plastered over or thrown into skips.
A fine marble surround or contemporary wood-burning stove can not only clinch a sale, but add thousands to a property's value.
Fireplace ideas
by realestate.com.au15 MAR 2010
Although most of us love nothing more than curling up in front of a crackling open fire, we don't relish the thought of smoke-filled rooms, chopping wood or piles of ash. Here are some tips for keeping your fireplace both functional and fashionable in winter.
Traditional versus trendyGo green! Is the current motto enveloping today's lifestyles. While many of us keep an eye on style, we are also trying to reduce our carbon footprint, lower greenhouse gas emissions and save money. So should you keep stoking the old open fire or are there greener ways to heat up your home?
Open firesIf you want to work with what you have rather than starting from scratch it is important to know that up to 90 per cent of heat from open fireplaces disappears up the chimney. A chimney also provides a virtual freeway for cold air to race back into the living room. If you are determined to stick with the traditional fire, a Federal Government Greenhouse Office report has found to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
Fireplace faceliftFor those of you who like the look of a traditional fireplace, but want to increase heating efficiency, a wood or gas unit can fit into an existing fireplace.
Wood firesCreate ambience, add warmth to a home, are generally the most effective at heating large open areas and can be freestanding or inbuilt. Inbuilt units fit directly into your existing fireplace.
Gas firesGas heating is suitable for most houses that have access to natural or LPG gas – as a built-in or freestanding unit. A gas unit is generally more expensive to buy than wood, but if you already have a gas outlet, your outlay is less.
Electric firesIf you prefer the look of the traditional burning logs without the hassle of connecting to gas or collecting wood, you could always opt for an electric model. It looks just like a gas or wood fireplace, only without the hassle. Electricity usage increases greenhouse gas emissions, so this is not the best choice for those of you who are going green.
Edwardian & Federation Tiled Inserts
- Square faced with hand painted tiles and then set behind marble or ornate timber mantles, the Edwardian & Federation register added a new level of grandeur to homes built in this ebullient period.
- Made with a cast iron fascia and decorative tiles down each side, Edwardian and Federation grates drew on design ideas from Victoriana, 'Arts and Craft' and the burgeoning Art Nouveau style.
All the great information below comes from the Website Victorian Fireplaces UK
Reproduction Edwardian Tube-lined Tile sets
- Tile sliders were introduced into cast iron fireplaces at side of the opening from 1860-1880. They allowed 6" tiles to be slid down at either side of the fireplace opening.
- There is no practical reason for the tiles, they are purely decorative.
- The tiles are slid into the cast iron frame, held in position by pieces of cardboard and then plastered over from the back with bonding plaster.
- Once dry the fireplace itself can be fitted. Once set into the fireplace the tile set cannot easily be changed without removing the fireplace from the wall.
Mantels and HearthsIf your fireplace has a mantel then the hearth size can vary.
- The mantel can stand on the hearth or the hearth can sit between the mantel legs or the mantel can have "cut outs".
- If you have exposed floorboards then the hearth should fully cover the constructional hearth to avoid seeing the concrete.
- If your fireplace has a mantel then the hearth size will vary depending on whether the mantel stands on the hearth or the hearth sits between the mantel legs
The Constructional Hearth is a flat area of fireproof material (usually concrete) in a wooden floored house that should finish flush with the floorboards around where the fire is to be fitted.
The Decorative HearthOn top of this constructional hearth sits the Decorative Hearth which is what usually refer to as a Hearth. This hearth is usually made from stone, slate or ceramic tiles.
A Standard Size Hearth is 54" x 15" x2" thick
Individual Hearth Tiles are available in various finishes and shapes.
Tiles can be cut to make herringbone patterned or cross bonded hearths

Plenary 3: Stigma towards People with Mental Disorders – A Singapore Perspective (Gretchen)
Speaker: Adj Asst Prof Mythily Subramaniam
People roughly know what mental illnesses are but there will always be stigma about it. Stigma is a mark of shame or disapproval that results in an individual being rejected and discriminated against. A national study was conducted in Singapore to examine stigmatizing attitudes towards 5 disorders: alcohol abuse, dementia, depression, schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The results showed that Depression was more likely to be perceived as 'Weak – not – Sick', schizophrenia and alcohol abuse as more dangerous and unpredictable while dementia and OCD were perceived to be less dangerous. This stigma leads to people with mental illness to have little intention to seek help from their friends and family especially for alcohol abuse. People who hold these stigmas are usually those with a lower education and income status, however, those who have a close friend or family member would hold lesser stigmatization to mental illnesses.
I think that it is really important for the public to understand mental illness so that they would be able to help their friends or family who are in need in the future and they would not shun them away just because of a mental illness. It is already difficult enough for a person going through it, but not getting the support that is needed from their friends and family would be tougher. This session gave me a better understanding about the stigma that an individual with mental illness might face and how the public can change this by lending their support.
Plenary 4: Recovery and Resilience: Family Resilience Training (Cho Ming Xiu)
Speakers: Dr Lori Ashcraft, Mr Eugene Johnson
Mr Eugene and Dr Lori of Resilience Inc shared their expertise and experiences in setting up 53 programmes in 23 communities and 13 facilities in the United States to create a better future for individuals living with serious mental health issues. Some of these programmes include: crisis response services, peer support services, recovery education and supported employment for persons with mental illnesses.
Currently, they are in the midst of collaborating with Caregivers Alliance Limited (CAL) Singapore, to provide family resilience training and programme development for the staff, leaders and volunteers, so as to equip them with the necessary skills sets and knowledge to provide care and support for the clients. Some of the trainings include: recovery and resilience, facilitating skills, resilient leadership, family strengths bank, family resilience action plan and family mission statement for caregivers.
Personally, I think that family resilience training for caregivers is highly important, as highlighted in the theme for the Conference, "Mind matters, Family matters". As caregivers are better equipped with the appropriate resources to help their family members whom are suffering from mental illnesses, they would be in a better position and are able to make more informed choices in their daily battles with challenges from taking care of someone with mental illness.
Breakout Session 9: Panel Discussion - Promoting Mental Health Advocacy: The Voices of Experience Perspective (Cho Ming Xiu)
Speakers: Mr Wong Kim Hoh, A/Prof Marcus Yu-Lung Chiu, Miss Poon Lye Yin, Mdn Junainah Eusope, Mr Jared Goh
Moderators: Adj. A/Prof Chua Hong Choon, Ms Chan Lishan
This was the most engaging and interactive panel discussion throughout the conference! It was opened to students from various junior colleges, polytechnics, universities, healthcare professionals, social service professionals, educators, media, caregivers and persons in recovery. Some of the topics discussed were the stigma that persons with mental illnesses faced, the struggles of being a caregiver, the work of a mental healthcare professional, the media's portrayal of mental health in Singapore and how do we as a society help destigmatize and raise mental health awareness in Singapore.
Some of the key highlights were the sharing by Mdm Junainah, a mental health advocate with IMH since 2012. She shared her personal struggles with major depressive disorder and how she has used her recovery story to touch others, and encourage them to seek treatment for mental health issues. Mr Jared Goh also shared his personal story as a caregiver to his sister whom has major depression and anxiety disorder, and the importance of the role of the family and caregiver in the road to recovery for a person with mental illness. Mr Wong Kim Hoh, a senior writer with the Straits Times also gave an interesting account of how the media should take on a more humanistic approach in journalism, in particular to news related to persons with mental health instead of having the main intention of creating headlines.
I felt that the panel discussion was insightful and engaging, as the audience had the opportunity to participate in the discussion though a real-time online polling system to gather our thoughts. It was also heartening to see many youths rising up and voicing out their thoughts and aspirations for the mental health community in Singapore!
Breakout Session 10: Resilience in Youth and the Elderly (Abstract Information from Programme Book)
Speakers: Dr Grace Lee, Mr Sean Kong, Dr Tam Wai Jia
Mental well-being relates to our ability to positively experience life and make a meaningful contribution within our community. Building resilience is an essential step to enhancing our mental well-being. Resilience helps us to deal with challenges, solve problems, achieve our goals, and also reduces our vulnerability to mental health difficulties. In this session, latest research in resilience was discussed and sharing on programmes and services targeted at different populations were showcased.
Breakout Session 11: Challenging Mood Disorders in Youths and Interventions (Jon)
Speakers: Dr Teng Jia Ying, Dr Johnson Fam, Miss Terri Chen, Mr Lee Seng Meng
This particular breakout session was interesting as it gave us a better understanding of what is being done to better help youths with mood disorders. The first speaker Dr. Teng Jia Ying from the National University Hospital, Singapore, shared on the importance of developing more effective screening procedures for youths. This is mostly due to the high number of youths that are not getting treatment for their problems earlier. She also shared a clinical workflow utilized by the hospital in determining when to screen and what to do if people were tested positive for mood disorders.
The second speaker Dr. Johnson Fam from the National University Hospital, Singapore, talked about a shift away from the traditional pharmacological treatments to a more neuropsychiatric methods such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. This involves sending low level of electric currents into the brain, and works to generate more neuronal activity in areas where there is a lack of it, while reducing neuronal activity in areas that are hyperactive. Now I want to point out at this point in time that such treatments are not like what you would see on the television and are safe, and in most cases even beneficial for the patients. Additionally, most studies have found few side effects which is promising as anti-depressants have been known to have many unwanted side effects such as weight gain or sweaty palms. Perhaps in the next few years we will see more of such treatments being used as the literature grows and it becomes more empirically supported.
The third speaker Miss Terri Chen from the National University Hospital, Singapore, shared on her work with group therapies for youths with mood disorders. In particular, how they have recently started a form a group therapy based on concepts within Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which is the gold standard and most used treatment for Borderline Personality Disorders. For those who do not know what it is, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is designed to change patterns of behaviour that are not helpful (e.g., self-harm). Miss Chen has found that through her group therapy sessions, she was able to greatly reduce the amount of self-harm in the youths that she was working with. This is a really good sign because group therapy is more cost effective than individual therapy, and with the widening patient to therapist ratio in Singapore, such forms of therapy could offer an alternative form of treatment that has a wider reach but similar effectiveness.
The final speaker Mr Lee Seng Meng from Student Care Services, believed strongly that we should be empowering our youths and promoting positive mental health rather than just preventing it. His take was that instead of being content with having no mental disorders, we should be giving youths tools that will help them overcome any challenges they may face. To that end, his programme on positive youth development (see below) aims to teach youths various core aspects of mental resilience such as regulation of emotions and understanding how to navigate social norms amongst others. By doing so, we can achieve more than a mental disorder free youth population, but have youths that are mentally resilient and able to take on adversities in the future. I personally believe this initiative is extremely good as we need youths to be proactive members of society, and to contribute actively as part of it instead of just not being a burden to society. I do hope that more schools will follow in his footsteps and have such programmes for their youths as well.
Breakout Session 12: The Emerging Role of Caregivers (Abstract Information from Programme Book)
Speakers: Dr Lori Ashcraft, Mr Chris Martin, Dr Sally Thio, Ms Rita Haque, Ms Dawn Kor, A/Prof Kalyani Mehta, Dr Tan Jit Seng
This training symposium was based on the highly valued role of caregivers and the important part they can play in improving the services available to those who suffer from mental health issues. The caregiver movement in Singapore has grown rapidly over the past few years and caregivers have spread the message that recovery and resilience is possible. Yet, too often caregivers are not given meaningful roles to play in the healing process. They have a valuable contribution to make and must be given opportunities to contribute more broadly and deeply to the delivery of services. Through this training, caregiver support groups will learn how to form their own direction and how best to support the growth of members of such groups. Additionally, ways to overcome conflicts and use problems to build resilience and strengthen this movement towards more caregivers being trained and supported were shared. Furthermore, perspectives from current caregivers were shared at the second session of this talk which shed light on the various factors that could play a role in the journey of a caregiver.
Breakout Session 13: The Next Phase of Primary Care: Managing Mental Health Patients (Abstract Information from Programme Book)
Speakers: Dr Mok Yee Ming, Dr Eng Soo Kiang, Dr Jared Ng, Dr Terence Yow
Primary care for mental health is a key component of any well-functioning health system. For an effective and efficient system, primary care for mental health must be complemented by additional level of care. It includes secondary care components, which primary care professionals can turn to for supervision, referrals and support. Links to informal and community-based services are also necessary. It is crucial to understand appreciate the relationships, and to learn the role of integrated primary mental health care within the context of the overall health system. Through this session, general practitioners and allied health community partners were invited to share their experiences in the management of patients in the community with physical and mental health needs. Mental health is an integral part of primary care services and with improved accessibility, mental health needs of the community are more likely to be identified and treated together with the co-morbid physical condition, contributing to a more holistic care.
Breakout Session 14: Paradigm Shift in Mental Health Services: A Peer-Driven Approach (Cho Ming Xiu)
Speakers: Mr Eugene Johnson, Dr Eu Pui Wai, Mr Anjan Ghosh, Ms Rosalind Pek, Ms Nicole Kay
It is really exciting to know that the mental health services in Singapore is taking a whole new paradigm shift towards a more peer-driven and recovery oriented approach, where persons with mental health issues are involved in the design and implementation of services. In the bid to break down stigma associated with mental illnesses and strengthen the support for persons suffering from mental health issues, the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), National Council of Social Services (NCSS) and Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) are co-developing this initiative, where a pool of former patients may be peer specialists to share their personal experiences and offer advice to patients as part of a new national framework. Dr Eu of IMH and Mr Anjan of NCSS have stated that the two organizations are currently working with VWOs such as the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH) in rolling this initiative out, where these peer specialists will be hired on a full-time basis to work in IMH, NCSS or the VWOs.
Rosalind Pek, one of the first few pioneering peer specialists from SAMH shared that the beauty of being a peer specialist is to see the lives of the persons in recovery being transformed through mutual experiences. She was elated to see one of her clients whom was previously aimless in life, now motivated to strive towards in becoming a peer specialist to encourage fellow peers whom are also suffering from mental illnesses. She believes that through shared lived experiences, it will empower fellow persons with mental illness to rise up and change their lives.
Personally, I feel that this is a game changer in building a support community for persons in recovery and those whom have successfully recovered. Through common lived experiences, they share a common bond and aspire to help one another to live purposeful lives, which is in essence the greatest gift to those whom are suffering silently with mental illnesses.
Workshop 1: Psychiatry Residents Symposium – Heart to Heart: Conversations about Real Life Ethical Dilemmas (Gretchen)
Speakers: Dr Calvin Fones, Dr Yap Hwa Ling
This session was supposedly for psychiatry residents but it was still open to anyone who wanted to sit in to listen. Additionally, its aim was to generate awareness on the multitude of ethical issues surrounding mental health care. Clinical ethics skills in psychiatric practice is the ability to recognize one's internal discomfort as a signal of potential ethical conflicts and seek resources that will help in approaching these ethical issues. We did 4 case studies of different ethical dilemmas and the psychiatry residents gave their opinions. Furthermore, people from the social service sectors also gave their point of views. It was interesting to hear the different opinions about the ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas do not necessarily have a correct and straightforward answer. Dr Fones ended off the session by saying:
"You come in here thinking you will get a direct answer, but when this session finishes, you are more confused"Workshop 2: Workshop, Recovery and Resilience (II): Wellness in Action (Hakim)
Speakers: Dr Lori Ashcraft, Mr Eugene Johnson
The session was a continuation of the session conducted in Plenary 4, Recovery and Resilience (I): Family Resilience Training that was focused on how the dynamics and support of family members could have a significant impact on the recovery journey of a person with mental challenges. This session on the other hand focused more on how a recovering individual could benefit from adding more resilience into his/her recovery journey. This is because some of us, may find comfort in staying in that area of safe recovery which results in possibly limiting our full recovery potential.
In my opinion, it is simple yet amazing how by being resilient, an individual who for example expresses 'hope' in recovering would find it a lot more manageable if they are resilient in being optimistic with the goals being set. Also, at a cultural level, promoting the recovery culture would bring forth a community of wellness through the act of being resilient in every individual in the community.
In exploring the dimensions of wellness, Dr Ashcraft mentioned the Eight Dimensions of Wellness, namely Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual, Occupational, Social, Financial, Physical and Environmental, are where each individual's choice may vary depending on how they prioritize one factor from the other based on their beliefs, personality, well-being, etc. These were further explored through interacting and sharing of views amongst the different groups.
I find that the session gave a new refreshing take on things that would definitely benefit anyone and everyone, not just for individuals working in the mental health sector.
Closing Plenary: Finding Inspiration in Mental Health (Jon)
Speaker: Mayor Denise Phua
The last plenary session was presented by Mayor Denise Phua. For those who did not previously know, Mayor Denise has struggled with having to raise a child with special needs, and I can't even begin to say that I know what she's been through, and is still going through. I can only imagine the pain she must have been through, yet here she stands in front of us sharing her story of how she turned adversity into success. Through this talk, she shared with us the struggles she faced such as ostracism from others and the general stigma of having a child with special needs. But she never gave up and instead wanted to give more support to help people with special needs. To that end, she set up Pathlight (mainstream school for children with special needs) and has been very active in volunteering. I think by being so giving by nature, she has touched many lives and have helped changed things for the better. Lastly, she ends off with sharing how despite her best efforts, without the community supporting her, none of this could be possible.
Finally, we have reached the end of the conference and if you're still reading this at this point in time, thank you for joining us through this wonderful journey. Seeing all that has been done and will be done has really rejuvenated us on our quest to really give back to society and to hopefully make a difference in the lives of others one day. Speaking for all of us who have brought you this post, I hope we have allowed you to walk away from this post with the mind set of how I can better contribute to society. With that, I would like to thank SGPsychStud for allowing us to post such a lengthy post and we hope that anyone who reads this will find new inspiration in your life journey of helping others!
Thank you for reading the posts!!!

Yesterday, gays and lesbians and their supporters marched in protest of the passing of Prop. 8 in front of the Mormon Temple in Los Angeles.
The march was set to start at 2pm, with many internet users passing and forwarding word of the march via their blogs, email, and social networks. As a result the march which was set to last from 2-3pm went well into the night and through the streets of Los Angeles. My wife and I didn't get there right at 2pm. We took the 405 fwy and it was already crawling with traffic, so we had to take side streets and find our way to the temple from there. We just followed the helicopters we saw in the sky since there were already a few, and we listened to what was happening on KNX 1070AM radio. When we found a parking we saw others parking too, and we got some help carrying the No on Prop 8 yard signs to pass out. We also brought about 20 poster boards and a marker to make signs with. I was wearing a shirt that said 'Mexicana' across the front to visibly represent as a Hispanic Lesbian.
When we got to the temple it seemed like there wasn't that many people there.
There were media vans and protesters, and then we saw the big crowd of protesters on the corner. It was beautiful! We started passing out signs, and making poster boards with different saying to pass out. I made some that said "Got Rights?", "Separation of Church and State!", and "Obama Hear Our Cries!". One straight couple brought their children in a stroller and put a No on 8 Yard sign on it. It was beautiful. We walked to the corner where everyone else was, and pretty much stood there taking pictures of signs, saying hi to people and talking about Prop. 8. Lori Jean had made an announcement before we got there, said The Center has launched a new website, InvalidateProp8.org, where you can support efforts to invalidate the measure—and send a message to the Mormon church, which played a leading role in funding the Yes on 8 campaign of lies and distortions. Donations will support legal efforts to invalidate the measure and for each donation of $5 or more, the Center will send a postcard to Mormon church President Thomas Monson, informing him a donation was made in his name. I was standing in front of the channel 34 cameras with my sign and a channel 5 cameraman said not to do that. He said don't worry they are all on our side, and mentioned that many of the KTLA staff where gay themselves. Diane Olson and Robin Tyler were there also. I had a chance to talk with Diane and Robin, and mentioned to them that we got married and said THANK YOU to them for all they've done. I mentioned our site and told them to contact us if they ever needed any help from us. They were so nice and gracious to take a picture with us. My wife cried after we walked away from them, it was a moment we will never forget.
After that we stood on the corner as one large crowd of marchers was sent forward down Santa Monica Blvd.
Word was that they were sending marchers out in waves, one large crowd at a time. We watched the first crowd march by, and I was so emotional to see all the support, all the signs, all the people who love each other fighting for their rights to be treated equal. There were people with drums, sticks, mega-phones, and people just yelling to keep the marchers chanting and making statements. One would yell "What do we want?" The crowd would yell "Equality!" "When do we want it?" "Now!". My favorite chant was "Gay, Straight, Black, White - Marriage is a Civil Right!". After the first crowd marched by, we could see another large crowd had already gathered. It only took about 20 minutes before the second large crowd began to march. We took more pics and then fell in line with this crowd of marchers.
It was great to be amidst so many other people who were on your side of the issue.
Having to watch the lies and scare tactics by the Yes on 8 campaign, and even learn about them blackmailing No on Prop 8 supporters through the mail, it was great to see the thousands of people who showed up to say that they weren't going to stand for discrimination being written into the California Constitution. We went up Santa Monica Blvd. towards Westwood. There were 3 people standing on a balcony with a Yes on Prop. 8 bumper sticker on the ledge. Half of the crowd stopped in front of their building and yelled at them "Shame on You!" "Shame on You!", calling them bigots, and chanting "Equality for All!" over and over. The people on the balcony looked horrified and disgusted. The crowd was getting angry, and others including myself called for everyone to "Keep Moving!" "Everyone Has to Hear Us!" "Keep Marching!" "Stay Peaceful, No Violence!". The crowd moved on, and made a right on Westwood Blvd.
The LAPD directed the crowd as we turned the corner.
As soon as the marchers rounded the corner we encountered traffic that was stopped on the left side of the street as we marched on the right. Some people were honking, and giving us high-fives as we passed them. Others were flipping us off, including people on the bus, while people in the front of the bus were giving peace signs. I wish I could have got a picture of that! Wasn't quick enough. Trouble started when a truck with a large Yes on Prop 8 was spotted in the traffic, and protesters ripped the sign off. There are really good pictures of this here , here, and here. The crowd was getting angry, but once again marchers called for peace and we kept marching since the police were handling the situation.
As we continued to march, people were coming out from the businesses that lined the streets.
People were taking pictures, recording from their cell phone, even from their car. People were coming out on to their balconies, people were clapping for us, and some were waving their No on Prop 8 signs back to us! It was such an emotional march, especially with such a large police presence. They were very friendly, I would say only one or two were mean to us. For the most part they kept straight faces, but some would smile at us and nod in agreement. Some tried to hide from the cameras, others looked amazed as the protesters chanted and yelled in their faces. They kept us one side of the street, and didn't have problems keeping us on line. There would be some who would run to the sidewalk through traffic and they would tell them not to do it again or they would be arrested.
We were stopped from marching when we reached Ohio Street.
The LAPD blocked the street with a line of cars and made a statement over their loudspeaker that we have to understand that we are causing an inconvenience to many people, at which the crowd booed and hissed. We chanted "Let Us March!" "Let Us March!" and when they didn't let us through, many began to sit down in the intersection and back down Westwood Blvd. KNX 1070 radio had a woman right at the front lines between us and the police, which was only a few inches. There were other media cameraman within us, around us, across the street. At one point the crowd chanted "Take The SideWalk!" and police used their motorcycles to barricade. After a few more minutes, we saw the first group of Marchers, which were stopped at Westwood and Wilshire. The crowd cheered and we cried for Equality and to Let Us March! It took a little while, but they eventually announced they would let us march to which the crowd chanted "Thank You!" "Thank You!" "Thank You!"
We continued marching and went up to Westwood and Wilshire where both marching groups came together.
It was so awesome!! We filled in the intersection and sat down. People were in their cars, out of businesses and lining the sidewalks. We sat with our signs and chanting, pounding drums, sticks, hugging, crying, and spreading the message of Equality for All. After a few minutes we continued the march and headed down Wilshire towards Beverly Hills. Wilshire was hard, it was an up and downhill walk, and we suddenly found ourselves as the last ones in the march of thousands. The police were riding their bikes behind us, there were police motorcycles lining the middle of the street, and it was starting to get dark. We didn't want to be the last ones and tried to hurry up. We passed some people walking their bikes, and a family with two kids being carried on the grown ups shoulders. We took their picture and they were interviewed by local media. We tried to catch up to the bulk of the crowd, and as we passed people up we saw Darryl Stephens and I said to him "Thank You for being out here with us." He said this is his march too, and he had to be out here. I said there are lots of people who should be out here and aren't so THANK YOU. He graciously took a photo with me and we continued on.
The march stopped at the intersection of Wilshire and Beverly Glen.
Many people wanted to sit in the intersection, but others made a right down Beverly Glen back to the church. There was chaos for a minute, and the people in traffic were honking, yelling, or just sitting there quiet. We were getting tired and our feet were hurting, but most of us laughed it off and kept marching. Some marchers ran to the gas station for water, or to McDonald's then got back to the march before the police caught up. They were following the march with bikes, a fire truck, the LAPD media relations truck, and a few other vehicles as well. The lined up in front of each intersection that we passed and as we passed them we chanted "Thank You! Thank You!". We continued our chants for equality and continued our march.
I met up with J.D. from The Smoking Cocktail and we chatted for a bit about what we can do for the cause, and I told her to contact me if she needed anything.
When we got to Santa Monica Blvd. we made a right and marched back down to the Mormon Temple. There were some people out in front of the temple at the top of the hill and the crowd chanted "Shame on You! Shame on You!" and "Tax Them! Tax Them!". Police lined up on the lawn of the church and we all cheered. Angry protesters were banging their signs on the fence of the church, one woman climbed the fence and spoke with a loudspeaker about the Mormon Church and how they funded discrimination. She called for the government to evaluate their tax exempt status to which the crowd chanted "Tax That Cult! Tax That Cult!" Others were talking to the media, others used chalk to write messages in the street about the church such as "Shame on Your H8!" One couple had a mock-wedding in front of the temple, to signify that they can't stop love. I stood in front of the temple with my sign which said "Obama Hear Our Cries", and many people took pictures of the sign. A lot of people told me the whole time that they felt the same way, and that they hoped that Obama would do something about it. I met alot of people on this march, and felt proud that we were a part of history, and had made some sort of action against this tyranny. The crowd began to disperse a little after a while, but one large crowd began to march back down Santa Monica Blvd. towards Beverly Glen. A worker for the church then came outside and began to tear down the signs the protesters had put up in front of the church. I screamed at him "Dont Tear Those Down, Tell Your Boss to Come and Do It!" I put the sign back up and he went down the fence continuing to tear the signs down. I yelled out "Put The Signs Back Up Don't Let Him Tear Them Down!" and screamed "Tell Your Church Boss to Come and Take Them Down!" Our people put the signs back up and he left. We stood outside a while longer and then we headed to our car. We called the sitter to let her know we were on our way, and we could hear the crowd chanting still as we made our way to our car a few blocks away. We drove back down to the front of the church, so we could honk and wave and show some more support. We immediately pulled over and parked because we could hear "Yes on 8! No on 8! Yes on 8! No on 8" and police were crossing the street to the temple. We could tell there had been a fight, and it turned out that the church worker called some Tongan church members to come down and bully the protests. They were caught on film and shown on all the major news stations being aggressive and assaulting a protestor. "
Video from the time between when I left and p.Johanna got there, including the Yes on 8 group of Tongan Mormons:
I showed up at the march last night around 6:45 pm. I had the privilege of meeting Julie Phineas and her wife Gina, they had been there since 2p.m. Right away as I approached the Mormon Temple, I saw the cops walking in their riot gear. Apparently, I had just missed a fight of Yes on 8 people. I started noticing straight couples getting out of their vehicles in their work clothes with homemade signs, they were marching with us. We stood at the temple for about an hour and then, we started walking. The motorcycle cops where riding next to us. Cars were driving and honking and yelling "GOOD FOR YOU!" apparently the traffic jam didn't bother them.
We walked approximately 5 miles one way.
Along the way people would join us, people waiting for the bus would cheer us and put their fist up in the air, in Beverly Hills we went through restaurant row and people would come out and cheer us on, some even joining us and walking with us. The cops at that point looked more tired than us. They would make sure that they were keeping us safe. I saw a girl walking with us that had a severe limp, and every once in a while our group leader would stop and have the rest join us, he yelled, "WE MARCH TOGETHER, WE ARE ONE FAMILY!" There were three cheers we would chant: 1. "WHAT DO YOU WANT? EQUALITY! WHEN DO YOU WANT IT: NOW!" 2. "CIVIL RIGHTS! CIVIL RIGHTS!" 3. "GAY, STRAIGHT, BLACK, WHITE MARRIAGE IS A CIVIL RIGHT! GAY, STRAIGHT, BLACK, WHITE MARRIAGE IS A CIVIL RIGHT!"
There was a point in the street where it became a one way street and there was a row of buildings in between the street we were on and the street that traffic was heading the opposite way.
It was amazing to see that the crowd that started marching before us, was heading back at the same point we were walking, so we basically shut down traffic on both sides. We started cheering and chanting at the same time, so all you heard was one voice in unison, "EQUALITY!". We got back to the temple and people were still there. The news cast was with us and I noticed that one news caster for ABC was looking, not only a bit haggard, but he was actually smiling and watching us in amazement. See, we were not fighting or being violent. At that point, Mormon missionaries were riding their bike by us, as they got past us, they gave us the number one finger, you know which one. The cars that drove by us would encourage us by honking, when they honked it only woke us up to start our chant again. As I stood there, a guy turned to his girlfriend and said, "honey, don't you feel like you are part of the gay community?" What does that mean?
It means that they are realizing what we are. We are just like them. We have one small difference, but in essence we are humans demanding the same right that they take for granted. Why are we doing this? Because we want you to see whose right you have just taken from. Someone told me as I was marching (via twitter) "do you know what impression you are giving? Two years from now there will be footage." My response: IT'S ABOUT TIME OUR FOOTAGE IS ABOUT US DEMANDING OUR RIGHTS, INSTEAD OF DANCING IN THE STREETS DURING GAY PRIDE! STAND UP! WAKE UP! MOVE!"

CARDIFF CITY last night found themselves caught up in the row about whether Celtic and Rangers should be admitted to the Premiership.
Birmingham owner David Sullivan dragged the Bluebirds into the debate by stating the Glasgow giants could come in ... provided they climb through the divisions the way Cardiff are trying.
Sullivan, himself from the Welsh capital, brought up the issue of the Bluebirds as the row rages in England and Scotland over whether the Old Firm rivals should be granted entry to the Premiership.
Sullivan used Cardiff, as a Welsh club, as an example of how a non-English side could get into the Premiership ... provided they work their way through from Division Three.
But Cardiff supremo Sam Hammam believes Celtic and Rangers should start even lower - in non-league football - and dismissed their grand Premiership plan as "fantasy" anyway.
He argues Cardiff, unlike Celtic and Rangers, are in a unique position because of historical reasons of playing in English football.
The issue of Cardiff as a Welsh club pushing for the Premiership was used as an argument for the pro-Celtic and Rangers lobby on radio debates yesterday.
And Birmingham chief Sullivan then became the first Premiership figure to mention a Welsh club, saying, "If Cardiff City, as capital of Wales, have to come up as one of the top two teams in Division One, or by winning the play-offs as they did last season, why should Celtic and Rangers be any different?"
However, Bluebirds owner Hammam, dragged into the Old Firm controversy by his close friend Sullivan, dismissed the Celtic and Rangers idea, which was mooted again yesterday by Celtic's majority shareholder Dermot Desmond.
"They will never play in English football. It is fantasy," said Hammam.
"There are so many fundamental reasons against them joining that it simply can't happen.
"The English and Scottish FAs will not let it happen. The English clubs won't let it happen.
"If Celtic and Rangers were in the Premier League they would be Champions League contenders.
"So why would clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle let two teams into the Premier League who could stop them qualifying for the Champions League where they can make between #20m-#40m a season?
"And, even if Celtic and Rangers were permitted to play in English football, they would have to start at the very bottom of the English pyramid system.
"I'm not talking about the Third Division - I'm talking about the second or third division in non-league!"
Hammam went on, "This is one of the strong points about Cardiff City - we have the right to play in the Premier League because of historical reasons. We are in a very lucky position.
"This is the beauty of Cardiff. That's why I came to the club. It has the potential to be a major power.
" If we get the new stadium and we are doing well in the Premier League, then we can be bigger than Celtic and Rangers put together.
"But that is many years away - perhaps 15 years. We are not in the Premier League and we don't have the new stadium yet."
