(CNN) -- Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy confessed to more than 30 murders before he was sent to Florida's electric chair in 1989, but experts have always believed there were more.
Now, investigators across the country are hoping a vial of Bundy's blood -- kept as part of a case record -- will prove or disprove his involvement in cold cases dating as far back as 1961.
Bundy's blood, recovered from an evidence lab in Columbia County, Florida, will be entered into the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) on Friday. Investigators say it's a major milestone in a decades-long search for evidence to complete the killer's profile.
A reopened 1961 cold case involving a missing 8-year-old girl in Tacoma, Washington, was the impetus for the completed DNA profile. The girl lived along a newspaper route that the then-teenager Bundy worked, according to published accounts.
Washington state homicide detective Lindsey Wade said her department, which has long suspected a connection between Bundy and Ann Marie Burr, contacted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in search of a profile that could provide the needed link.
"A profile will assist with whatever evidence you have," said Keith Kameg, spokesman for the department. "It doesn't mean someone did it, but it does mean they were there."
Kameg's department contacted law enforcement agencies across the state seeking any evidence that could be used to build a profile on Bundy.
A vial of Bundy's blood was recovered from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, and though blood samples degrade over time, Kameg said the department was able to build a profile from that sample.
Bundy was put to death in January 1989, convicted in two trials of three Florida murders. He had prolonged his life by confessing to other murders in other states and was suspected in many more killings. However, he adamantly denied having anything to do with the death of Ann Marie Burr.
Criminal profiler Pat Brown of Washington, D.C., who has written extensively about Bundy, said though Bundy appeared on numerous suspect lists, his killing spree was able to last for years because detectives thought he didn't fit the profile of a typical serial killer.
At the height of his killing spree in the 1970s, Bundy would feign a broken arm or leg and ask young women for help -- luring the victims he would later murder.
At the time of Bundy's convictions, DNA typing was not widely used, but advances in the forensics field have revitalized efforts to link serial killers to unsolved crimes.
"The technology in the past 25 years went from archaic to phenomenal," Kameg said.
Though Bundy is long gone, Kameg said, his DNA profile could answer lingering questions for police and bring comfort to loved ones.
CNN's sister network truTV contributed to this report.

Fenway Park hosted its third MLB All-Star Game in 1999, a midsummer classic highlighted by Ted Williams' final appearance at the park and Pedro Martinez's throttling of the National League All-Star lineup. In anticipation for the game, the team installed temporary press boxes on the first and third-base sides of Fenway Park's roof, which were converted into suites after the game. The Red Sox capped this special Fenway Park season by reaching the playoffs and beating the Indians in an exciting ALDS, before losing to the Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
Record: 94-68, 2nd in American League East (Wild Card)
Manager: James F. Williams
Attendance: 2,446,162
Postseason: Won American League Division Series
Pedro Martinez had a season for the ages in 1999 with a 23-4 record, 2.07 ERA, and 313/37 strikeout to walk ratio. Martinez earned the AL Cy Young Award for his efforts and finished second in the MVP race.
The Red Sox started the season 5-0 on the road, and then won their home opener behind a Bret Saberhagen 6-0 shutout of the White Sox.
Nomar Garciaparra had an outstanding year in his third full season in Boston, highlighted by his remarkable performance at Fenway Park on May 10. That day, Garciaparra hit three home runs (two of which were grand slams) and drove in 10 runs, tying Fred Lynn's club record of 10 RBIs in one game.
Five days later, the Red Sox announced plans for a new Fenway Park to be built across the street from the existing stadium, but uncertainty remained about how the new park would be financed.
In July, Fenway Park hosted its third Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Ted Williams made a poignant, final appearance at the park during pregame ceremonies before Pedro Martinez dominated the National League's top hitters in the game itself. Martinez was named All-Star Game MVP after striking out five of the six batters he faced.
The Red Sox remained in second place for most of the season and clinched a playoff berth against with Cleveland in a rematch of the previous season's ALDS. In the series, the teams split the first four games to set up a winner-take-all finale. In the deciding game, Troy O'Leary hit a grand slam and a three-run home run and Pedro Martinez pitched six no-hit innings in relief to secure the victory. The Red Sox advanced to the ALCS and fought gamely against the Yankees but managed just one victory (behind a strong Martinez performance in Game Three) before being eliminated.
With Fenway Park set to host the 1999 All-Star Game, improvements to the home and visiting clubhouses were completed shortly before the start of the season. Temporary press boxes were also installed on the left-field and right-field roofs in anticipation of the Midsummer Classic. After the All-Star Game, the boxes would become the K and B suites at the ballpark.
Fenway Park showcased one of the most memorable All-Star weeks in baseball history in 1999. On July 12, a star-studded home run derby was highlighted by the memorable performances of sluggers like Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Griffey defeated Milwaukee's Jeromy Burnitz in the final round to win the derby crown. The following night, Red Sox legend Ted Williams made his final public appearance at Fenway Park during the All-Star game's pregame ceremonies. Introduced as "the greatest hitter of all time," Williams was showered with a standing ovation and the enthusiastic greetings of both All-Star teams, as players like Nomar Garciaparra and Tony Gwynn surrounded Williams at the pitcher's mound before he threw out the ceremonial first pitch. It was one of the most poignant moments in the ballpark's history and set the stage for the dominant performance of Sox right-hander Pedro Martinez, who struck out five of six National League batters in two innings of work. For his efforts, Martinez was named All-Star Game MVP in a 4-1 American League victory.

*Starting in 1990, Fenway Park has hosted the annual Baseball Beanpot, baseball's version of the longstanding Boston hockey tradition. Originally, the competition featured the same schools that battle for Hockey Beanpot: Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Harvard University. However, when BU dropped their baseball program after the 1995 season, the University of Massachusetts took their place. The Baseball Beanpot has been held at Fenway Park every year since its inception except for in 2004 and 2010, when the tournament was played at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, MA.

And now I am just a little bit obsessed. I swear, these frozen cobblers are the bomb diggity. You see- I made one for myself for my birthday. I sat down with a bowl of steamy yummy cobbler goodness and watched the premier of Glee. Well, then the next Tuesday rolled around and I thought to myself, "Self. Last Tuesday with the cobbler and the Glee... those were good times. We should do that again." So I popped another frozen cobbler in the oven the following week. And the following week. And the following week. And now I think that I am 5 weeks into this terrible Tuesday night habit. One serving of cobbler a week would probably not be that bad, BUT

It's all about eyewear for today's first post. I have horrible eyesight unfortunately and without my contacts I can barely see anything in front of me. I honestly hate wearing them sometimes though because they always give me issues, especially when I go out at night. I am way overdue for a pair of glasses. It's always been difficult for me to find both a stylish and affordable pair. Usually the frames I love the most are super expensive and the ones I can afford aren't so great. So that's where Warby Parker comes in!
Warby Parker, founded by 4 friends, is a stylish eyewear company who's main goal has been to provide high quality prescription eyewear at an affordable price. They wanted to be an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear that's available today. Their aesthetic is vintage-inspired with a contemporary twist. The best part though is that they are a company who gives back. For every pair of glasses sold, they provide a pair to someone in need through their non-profit partners. Amazing! One of the founders, Neil Blumenthal, was a speaker at Lucky FABB. Unfortunately I didn't get to sit in on that panel, but I heard it was really inspiring.
Today is actually the launch of their new Winter Collection which they describe as rustic meets modern. This collection features six new shapes in five new colors in addition to some of their most stylish and dependable frames in cold winter hues. All frames, including prescription lenses, are $95! If you take a look at their website, they explain how they're able to provide high-quality prescription glasses at this price. I was intrigued!
Here are my top 5 picks from the new collection :)
Round lenses with a roomy width.
1940s inspired frame with keyhole bridge. The slender temple arms are crafted from Japanese titanium.
A keyhole bridge with classic round frames.
Vintage shape with square frames.
Curved brow line, keyhole bridge and slim acetate construction.
These glasses make me want to curl up by the fire place (which I don't have) with a good book and a glass of wine! There is something so warm about them and I can see why they chose these colors and styles for winter. When it comes to prescription glasses, I've always gravitated more towards square frames, but this collection has me looking at round lenses in a new way. You can check out the entire collection HERE.
And one more really cool thing about WP- they have a free home try-on program. All you have to do is pick your top 5 frames, they ship them to you for free and you have 5 days to try them out. Once you decide which one you like best, you order them online and ship back the 5 frames free of charge. They've made shopping for glasses from home so much easier!
If you're like me and have been searching for a great pair of glasses, then I really hope this post was helpful. It's always nice being introduced to new brands, especially when they're affordable! Now you can do all things this winter in style ;)

Jewish World Review July 31, 2000 / 28 Tamuz, 5760
David Limbaugh
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- IF THE GAME of politics were fiction it would be amusing to watch the Democrats scurrying around in a desperate dither over George W. Bush's decision to choose Dick Cheney as his running mate.
When Bush first announced his choice, Democrats couldn't say enough nice things about Cheney. "He's a very nice guy, smart, honest." The closest they came to being negative was to say he was dull, and therefore wouldn't add much to the ticket. Oh yes, and there were the health problems, too.
Once the initial shock wore off, it didn't take the war room long to devise a strategy to demonize the former Secretary of Defense. Of course, anyone with half a brain knows that the point of demonizing Cheney is to taint Bush. Imagine that. Tainting Bush by association with one of the most decent men to serve in the public sector in years.
Their angle was creative, albeit transparent. The Cheney selection, ironically, would allow them to chip away at the one thing about Bush that has been in their craw from the beginning. He has been fraudulently passing himself off as compassionate. To liberals, you see, "compassionate conservatism" is an oxymoron. It is no less than a cosmic injustice for a conservative Republican to masquerade as a caring person -- to trespass on liberal terrain.
Democrats thought they'd "outed" Bush by underscoring his appearance at Bob Jones University and his general campaign tactics in South Carolina, but their attempts at smear just didn't stick to Dubya. Cheney would become Bush's Achilles' heel regarding the compassion issue. Oh sure, Cheney appears to be a nice guy, but look at his voting record. The war room calculated that all they had to do to destroy Bush was to show that Cheney was a genuine conservative, because conservatism is manifestly evil. How's that for arrogance?
So, in rigid lockstep, the Democrat shills have been popping up all over talk television decrying Cheney's mean-spirited, anachronistic record. They no longer even try to hide their contempt. One pleasant congresswoman, as if describing Satan incarnate, sneered, "Cheney's anti-choice, he's opposed to gun-control, he's anti-environment, he's against statistically measuring the census (boy, that's a zinger!), and he voted for Clarence Thomas." She forgot to mention that his wife, Lynne Cheney, is a fire-breathing reactionary in her own right. Others have since dutifully pointed that out.
The war-room-talking-point-memo-breathing congresswoman added that Cheney also voted against the Department of Education (praise the Lord), and -- get this -- he voted against international family planning. Yes, she actually said that with a straight face. I concede that this final revelation is darn near enough to make me pack my bags and move to Chicago so I can register in Cook County and vote for Bush-Cheney a couple hundred times in November.
The ingenuous war room thinks they've caught Bush in a double-trap. Through Cheney they've exposed Bush both as a true conservative and a liar, because he's been fibbing about his conservatism.
They are wrong on both counts. Bush never denied being conservative. To him there is no contradiction between compassion and conservatism. Bush stands for precisely the same things Cheney has voted for. Bush has never pretended to be anything but pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Clarence Thomas, pro-real census counting and pro-decentralizing federal control over education.
Some commentators have observed that Bush's selection speaks well for Bush in that it shows he's comfortable enough with himself to pick someone with greater credentials than his own. Yes, but it also shows that for all the Democrat hype about Bush being more of a politician than a statesman (a Clintonian politician) he is just the opposite. In picking Cheney, he's proven he's interested not in pizzazz but substance. What a refreshing attitude compared to the past eight years.
The Democrats' frantic reaction to Cheney tells us even more about them. Through the Clinton years they have become comfortably smug about the superiority of their worldview -- so smug that they are now willing to declare all dissenters from it -- like Cheney -- evil.
Well, the war room better be polishing up their nukes, because Bush's
bold Cheney decision indicates that he means business and is ready to
govern. If I were in the war room, I'd be nervous,

- 1 tbsp salt
- 1kg plums

- 450g golden caster sugar
You will also need
- 4-5 sterilised jars
To sterilise the jars: run them with the lids and any rubber seals through the hottest cycle of your dishwasher. If you don't have a dishwasher, give the jars a good wash, then heat them in the oven at 150C/130C fan/ gas 2 for 30 mins. Don't bake seals – boil them in a pan of water for 10 mins. If you don't have lids you can buy jam pot covers from cook shops which you can then cover with fabric.
Prepare the ingredients: first, peel the garlic cloves and cut them into slivers. Peel and thinly shred the ginger. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onions, then put them in a large, wide saucepan or a preserving pan with the garlic and ginger. Peel, core and chop the apples, then add to the pan with the spices, vinegar and salt.
Bring the pan to the boil over a gentle heat, give everything a good stir, then turn down the heat and cover the pan (if you don't have a lid use foil). Simmer for 30 mins until the apples are cooked and pulpy.
While the apples are simmering, stone and quarter the plums, then add them to the cooked apples with the sugar. Stir well and leave to bubble away, this time uncovered, for another 40 mins stirring regularly until the plums are cooked but still retain some of their shape. Ladle into the sterilised jars, seal and label. Use our downloadable Christmas labels if you like.
This chutney is best kept for about a month before eating as the vinegar needs a bit of time to mellow. If you don't want the flavour of the spices to develop any more, then take out the cinnamon and star anise before potting. It will keep for 1 year in a cool place but once opened store in the fridge and use within a month.

Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract. Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)
Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 - 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
The Understood offers evidence-based strategies that benefit all students, especially those with learning differences and attention issues.

Living Rooms with Tantalizing Texture
Click through to snag ideas for incorporating texture into your living space
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 19
Any designer worth her fabric swatches and color charts will tell you that texture is one of decorating's most important elements. In a neutral space, it's the essential life force. Without it, subtle rooms would flat-line and visually fade from our radar, losing our interest. And in rowdier rooms that have been around the color wheel a time or two, it can be a calming influence, smoothing out the array of hues and patterns into something more livable.
In living rooms like this one in the home of designer Ann Shipp and Roger Higgins, texture is skillfully mixed to create what is literally a feel-good space. Rough bamboo shades mix with hard woods, sleek glass, and a variety of soft and nubby textures on upholsteries. No one texture plays solo, but all combine in a harmonious chorus for pleasingly rich results.
Design: Roger Higgins and Ann Shipp, R. Higgins Interiors
A Masterful Mix of Texture
Texture's role as a harmonizing influence in decorating is elegantly illustrated in the living room of Washington D.C. designer Skip Sroka. He used a variety of textures in just the right proportions to assure a complete, full-bodied design. Soft carpet and upholstery fabrics are balanced by the sleek glass top and hard iron base of the coffee table. More compelling textural interest is created on the foreground chair's velvet pillow, which is decorated with raised trim stitched with assertive knots. Like the trim, the mirror's Greek key frame is a raised pattern that adds textural dimension.
Design: Skip Sroka
A Subtle Touch
Viewed from another angle, the living room of designer Skip Sroka shows how attention to texture can be subtle but vital. A Schumacher wall covering lays out the room's neutral background, but its tactile factor raises both the warmth and visual interest of the design. The sofa's pair of pillows covered in a gold-patterned Brunschwig & Fils shiny, coarse fabric contrast with the softer burgundy on the antique pillow in the center.
Design: Skip Sroka
Monotones Mandate Texture
A monochromatic taupe color scheme was just the ticket to a soothing living room for an active Atlanta family in the city's Buckhead district. But it could have been passage to the doldrums. Thankfully, homeowner Amy Bergman happens to be a designer, who knew better than to deploy such a demure palette without flexing some decorating muscle with an ample use of texture. The cut-velvet upholstery on the turned-wood armchair in the foreground is an indicator of how adeptly the designer addressed texture. The soft ridges beg to be touched while also creating their own brand of pattern. Each of the other three chairs, though monochromatic taupe, are dressed in different woven fabrics that have their own special feel. Nailhead trim adds a hard ribbon of texture around each of the seating pieces including the sofa. Sleek, shiny glass gets into the game not only with the large-scale coffee table, but through the windows themselves. The textural interest extends underfoot to the nubby rug and up to the mantelshelf's crusty pair of candlesticks.
Note: When contemplating a room's design, factor in the architectural features. Prominent windows lend glassy texture to the space, reducing the need for too much more glass or shiny metal.
Design: Amy Bergman
Love at First Touch
A 1924 Spanish Colonial in Dallas was off to head-start in textural interest thanks to its living room's original Rookwood-tile fireplace. That feature, with its hard but not overly rough texture, ultimately was what sold the new owners on buying the house. Enter designer Julio Quinones, who upped the living room's texture with a custom wrought-iron firescreen, a velvet fireside bench and an antique velvet armchair, and a pair of sleek olive-wood Parsons tables. Quinones mirrored over built-ins at one end of the fireplace for better balance and a cleaner look, and in so doing adding a flashpoint of sleek texture that completes the sophisticated design.
See more of this room on the next slide.
Design: Julio Quinones
A Living Room of Sophisticated Textures
To contrast with the lush velvets of the fireside bench and an antique daybed at the far end of the room, designer Julio Quinones dressed this Dallas living room's sofa in a white silk that feels both polished and nubby all at once. Custom tub chairs' crisp linen melds into a textural mix that includes a smoothly polished mahogany console table, a hard marble-top round accent table whose body consists of sleek mirrors, and a glass-top square table on rough metal legs. The refinement ushered in by textures is perhaps most pronounced on the elegant Oushak rug.
Design: Julio Quinones
That's the Rub
Bob Williams, cofounder of furniture manufacturer Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, has a passion for mid-century modern furniture. And in a roundabout way, that equates to a passion for sleek, sheer texture. The architects and designers who created these modern classics were fascinated by new materials like Lucite and molded plastic and experimented with them exhaustively. The result was furniture with squeaky-clean texture, light in appearance and weight, like never before seen. In the living room of his updated Georgian Colonial in Hickory, North Carolina, Bob incorporated a few of his favorite mid-century styles—a Lucite chair and small table, a glass-topped Parsons-style coffee table, and an Eames-style white leather armchair. The Lucite and leather lighten the room's harder, denser textures of solid wood and metal, as well as the softer bulk of the fabric-upholstered sofa and armchairs. And here's the (it's all good!) rub: fuzzy Mongolian wool pillows.
Design: Bob Williams
A Rough and Refined Living Room
It's one of good decorating's many oxymorons: a living room that fairly bristles with rough edges, yet overall comes off soft and soothing as a child's lullabye. That's the beauty of texture as a decorating tool—it can help you to create designs with multi-dimensional character, that are neither entirely elegant nor wholly rustic but a beautifully balanced bit of both. Starting with the stone floor tiles in this Florida showhouse's living room, designer Susan Massey layered on the textures. Thick. She topped the hard stone floor with an rough-textured abaca rug (abaca is the fiber from a type of banana tree raised in the Philippines). Simple jute rope was brilliantly put to structural use, serving as a ladder of art that stretches floor to ceiling and supports driftwood display shelves. A faux wood table completes the look of rough texture. A softening influence emanates from the Belgian linen on the sofa and the flax linen on the daybed. A Murano glass chandelier centers the room with an elegance that's reinforced by the glossy sheen on the wingback chair. The delicate metal legs and glass top of an occasional table further offset the living room's more rustic elements with a refined feel.
Design: Susan Massey
Where Texture Rules
At the least, neutral living rooms like this one require a special touch—enough tactile structure to give the design a spine. No problem here, where texture rules as the single-most important organizing element in the design. Dressed entirely in neutrals except for its Kelly green throw pillows—a hue extracted from the palette of a single piece of art—this space began taking form with the wrought-iron coffee table at its center. The assertive roughness of the splayed-out table then receives a counterpoint of luminous sleekness from a trio of glass vessels covering small plants. An earthy sisal rug brings together four linen slipcovered chairs in a group hug, while ebony-painted wood cabinets designed with raised diamonds add compelling up-down texture to the space. A loose fabric shade on the chandelier deepens the textural nuances of this dynamic design.
Design: Melanie Turner
Extra-Lively Texture
The outdoor living room in the Izmir, Turkey, home of interior designer Megan Perry Yorgancioglu is convincingly brought to life with a single outstanding textural find. The texture itself—faux grass—covers a foursome of club chairs Megan found in Paris. The quirky upholstery material makes the chairs look for all the world like lush lawns that just happen to be rooted around chairs.
Note: When a single texture is especially exuberant, let it shine. Use other materials in small doses—or, as shown here, even limit additional fabrics to a single quiet kind such as a cotton-linen blend. Like any other decorating element, texture needs to be monitored to guard against overkill. When using a bolder texture like faux grass, less is more.
Design: Megan Perry Yorgancioglu
Tap into Fun, Fab Texture
Virginia designer Barbara Franceski encourages her clients to "think outside the box for the design they would like to see, not what they think should be done. I want them to have a little playfulness within their homes." In the living room of her own Alexandria townhome, Barbara tapped into texture to deliver a light-hearted look that is sheer fun. A vintage wire dress form perched below an oil portrait introduces kicky character with its wiry texture. A pair of small, square wall mirrors are framed with shells whose unique texture strikes a note of beach-time bliss. A tiny Lucite and white-leather stool hints at romance, perhaps the memory of a casual summer fling.

Bling on the Texture
Another view of designer Barbara Franceski's Alexandria, Virginia, living room illustrates the room's almost toe-tapping texture. Shiny chrome modern lights stare down at a classic wood-painted chair while a Niermann Weeks antique-mirrored screen and a mirrored Arteriors side table bring on the bling.

Texture with a Natural Bent
Two architectural features in this Hamptons Showhouse living room established a textural theme for designer Skye Kirby Westcott: the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace surround, and exposed wood ceiling beams. With those features as his springboard, he created a soothingly organic space using soft fabrics in pale but warm neutral colors. Wooden benches and a console table team with round iron-and-glass side tables for a cohesively earthy look.
Design: Skye Kirby Westcott
A Finely Finished Living Room
When you know up front you want your living room to feel refined, texture can make it happen. This guest living room in the Hamptons Showhouse features soft fabrics, a cushy area rug, and wooden antique furnishings that are painted pale, to soften natural wood's rusticity. The elegance knows no single time period. With soft texture as the common denominator, a mid-century modern sectional sofa stands beside a 19th-century Swedish table whose natural wood has been gentled beneath paint and gilt. A modern glass-and-Lucite coffee table underscores the glamorous sheen of a 1960s Venini chandelier.
Design: Eddie Lee
Just-Right Texture
For a living room whose primary purpose is to provide a comfortable, casual place for the family to relax and entertain, the mix of textures is best reined in. Limiting texture to a few kindred fabrics and variously finished wood furnishings, with nothing too sleek or shiny in sight, ensures the greatest livability. That's the key to the easy, no-worries attitude of this living room in an East Hampton cottage. A Stark sisal rug announces toe-pleasing livability, and a chair upholstered in a taupe Nancy Corzine fabric adds more subtle texture with its tufting. Too much rough texture also has to be avoided to strike a happy medium. The antique Chinese horse on the coffee table is the only rustic element required.
Design: Patricia Fisher
Decorating in the Rough
For a South Carolina cabin that overlooks rolling green hills, rusticity was a natural as a decorating style. The living room captures the design style beginning with a tall stone fireplace—one so rustic its stones appear stacked without mortar. A single time-worn wood beam serves as the mantel shelf. A pair of leather chairs from Holland & Company continue the hardy-texture theme, with accents including a raw-wood side table and an iron floor lamp.
See more of this home on the next slide.
Design: June Price
Warm, Woolly Decorating
This cabin's texture takes a turn to the warm and the wooly in living room's central conversation area. Armchairs are plush-backed and covered in warm velour. A red plaid bench boasts fuzzy wool, along with wool plaid throw pillows on the couch. A wool area rug makes going barefoot a pleasure. Wood-plank walls are painted but the doorframe consists of rough wood beams that make the rustic point clear.
Design: June Price

The girls pretending to sun bathe
Playing with the crazy octopus sprinkler!
My sister gracefully jumping over the sprinkler! :)
Also, I haven't been very hungry from the heat so that is always a bonus. :) I had a great week focusing on my eating. I think a lot of my incentive came from the fact that my sister can now fit into a size ten. Of course it makes me want to try even harder.
Unfortunately the week was so crazy busy that I didn't get in enough exercise. I will be happy when my daughter's preschool is done because then I will have time to go to the gym again. My plan is to go every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It seemed to work well for me last summer so I am hoping it will again this summer. My Rheumatologist also thinks it will be very good for my Fibromyalgia.
My other incentive to go back to the gym is because I had my sister take some pictures of me in my bathing suit. I will post them for you in a later post. :) They aren't horrible but of course I think going back to the gym would make a big difference.
When I weighed in this morning I was pleased to be back in the 160's. I am down to 169.6!!!! I am thrilled. A few days at the gym and I think I will be able to officially announce that I have lost 50 pounds. I can't wait! I really can't wait to post my 50 pounds lost picture. I am going to have to come up with something creative for the big one.
My Week In Review:
1. Exercise: Not much. A little bit on my treadmill and chasing my kids around in 90 degree heat.
2. Water: I drank a lot of water. It was so hot.
3. Late night eating: No late night eating. My husband bought a huge cheesecake for us for our 8th Anniversary this week and I haven't even thought about eating it in the middle of the night. I had a 1/2 of a piece when he bought it and now I am done with it.
4. Snacking: I haven't snacked much this week. I think I have been to busy. I did have a few Weight Watchers Fudge Pops at my sister's house. They are excellent and a great way to cool off.
5. Eating more fruits and veggies: I think I could have done better in this area.
What do I need to work on for next week: Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!!!!

Life after death
Damien Echols puts focus on the horrors of death row in new memoir and documentary on the West Memphis Three
By Carl Kozlowski 12/12/2012
In the past 21 months, Damien Echols has tasted fresh snow in the mountains of Utah while visiting one of the most prestigious film-industry events on the planet, the Sundance Film Festival. He's hang-glided over the lush green fields of New Zealand alongside world-class film director Peter Jackson and worked as an extra in Jackson's new movie "The Hobbit." He even scratched off the top item on his bucket list — the list of things he dreamed of doing before dying, or "kicking the bucket" — when he saw his beloved Boston Red Sox play baseball at historic Fenway Park.
At 37, Echols has had to consider his bucket list in a much more serious way than most of his contemporaries. And until a miracle occurred in March 2011, it looked like he would never be able to live out his dreams, much less lead a normal life.
Echols was sentenced to Arkansas' Death Row back in 1993, after being convicted as the ringleader of a group of three young men who soon garnered international attention as the "West Memphis Three." He, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley had been sullen teenagers who felt like abject outsiders being raised in the buckle of the Bible Belt, but their lives were nearly destroyed in a flash when they were convicted of perpetrating the heinous murders of three young boys in their hometown of West Memphis, Ark.
Echols was sentenced to death, and the other two men received life sentences without chance of parole. Yet, thanks to a relentless campaign — including three HBO documentaries and countless
fundraisers and media appeals by the likes of actor Johnny Depp and rocker Eddie Vedder that charged the trio were railroaded to prison in a vast miscarriage of justice — the three were freed in March 2011 via an unusual plea deal in which they were forced to plea guilty to the crimes, but were then released on time served.
These days, Echols is touring the country promoting his new memoir, "Life After Death," as well as a major new documentary opening Christmas Day about the case and its aftermath, called "West of Memphis."
His recent stop for a press day at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills came as the debate over the use of the death penalty in California rages nore hotly than ever.
"It's the personal things that matter more for me," says Echols, sitting in a suite alongside wife Lorri, who met and married him while he was in prison. "I had a list of things I wanted to do if I ever got out, and I'm glad seeing the Red Sox play was one of them, because Lorri and I took a tour of Salem, Mass., while we were up there and fell in love with it and we live there now. I don't like doing the big production things, but rather walking around, having snacks, talking to people, milling around and wasting time."
He laughs with that simple statement, and it's almost disconcerting to see and hear joy coming from this man. For nearly two decades, Echols was demonized by Arkansas prosecutors and the media, seen first as a brooding presence who, before donning prison uniforms, liked to wear black clothing and listen to heavy metal bands like Metallica.
In his book, he vividly describes with a mix of powerful drama and gallows humor the profoundly sad conditions that he endured during his time on Death Row and the rough childhood he experienced being raised by his grandmother from age 3. She died while he was still trapped in prison, providing another major emotional setback he had to soldier through.
And yet soldier on he did, anchored by his wife, who quit her
job to fight for his freedom full time and now expresses her own happiest moments as being "every morning when I wake up and realize he's right there beside me, after all that time apart. It makes me really joyful when that happens."
"This woman saved my life," says Echols. "There were times when I would be so tired and beat down by everything that I could not keep going. I couldn't get up. It kills you inside. And at those times, Lorrie would carry me psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and enable me to get back out and walk with people again. She's literally why I'm sitting here right now."
Unlike Echols, many death row inmates don't have the good fortune of being innocent, nor do they have a spouse or ultra-committed friend or family member to plead their case for survival. Since 1978, when the death penalty was reinstated in California, making it one of 33 states with capital punishment, 724 inmates have been placed on death row.
However, due to the incredibly long and complicated appeals process afforded such inmates, only 13 executions have been carried out in those 34 years. The possibility of staging an execution in the state has been put on hold for the past five years, as the courts wrestle with the question of whether California's means of administering lethal injections constitutes cruel and inhumane punishment.
That backlog is costing the financially strapped state vastly more per inmate than if the same prisoners were serving life sentences without parole, and it appears that California voters are inching ever closer to abolishing the death penalty for good, as Proposition 34 lost by a 6 percent margin in the Nov. 6 election with only 48 percent of the vote.
That prospect gives hope to the Rev. Ed Bacon, rector of Pasadena's All Saints Church. For decades, Bacon has argued for an end to capital punishment.
"I'm definitely against the death penalty because it's not a deterrent and the state doesn't have the freedom or moral authority to kill a human being," says Bacon. "Every human being bears the image of God, and everyone is intrinsically human. No one is as bad as the things that they've done. Every human being's life is precious before God, so I'm for the abolition of the death penalty in all cases. We will pass that proposition the next time we bring it before the voters, because the death penalty is a very expensive policy, and that money should be put into preventive measures like public education."
That sentiment is echoed by former California Attorney General John Van de Kamp of Pasadena, who in 2004 headed the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice.
"I've always been opposed to the death penalty, but I understand the emotional reaction people have to some of these awful cases," says Van de Kamp.
His commission found that abolishment of capital punishment would save the state more than $1 billion over five years. Van de Kamp also served as LA County District Attorney before being elected state attorney general in 1982.
"The first reaction to some of these cases is, how could anybody do that [crime], and especially if it's one of your loved ones? But a lot of people have been convinced that it's not making sense economically, and it will come to a vote again in two to four years," he says.
That vote won't come about through any help from Echols, however. After losing nearly two decades of his life to the hellish conditions of prison and the unfairness of the system that put him there, he simply can't handle devoting much more thought to the matter, hoping that his life and telling his own story will be his contribution to the cause.
"Lorri asked me if I would do something to help change the system, and I had to say no," he says, wistfully. "It took 20 years of my life, and the help of so many others and documentaries, and God knows how many newspaper articles, just to change one case. Can you imagine what it would take to change the system? I think you have to focus on changing the hearts of people, not the system."

New Cathedral in Salamanca
University city par excellence, birthplace of the first book of Castilian grammar, with an ensemble of monuments with the World Heritage designation... Salamanca is art and culture first hand. A unique destination you will love to discover or to come back to, thanks to its stunning buildings and wonderful atmosphere.
Salamanca has always been known as the city of thought and culture. Its history and heritage fully justify this title. Get ready, because in this city in inland Spain, just over two hours by car from Madrid, you will find outstanding artistic heritage that is hard to beat. The only thing you need is time to stroll unhurriedly around the city and to discover its wealth of monuments.
A good place to start is the famous Plaza Mayor Square. This beautiful, grandiose Baroque square has been, is and will always be the "soul" of Salamanca. It is a meeting place for locals and visitors alike, where you can do almost anything: shop, stroll, eat, hear music. Take your time to enjoy the square, and then head for its gates, which will take you to the most interesting buildings in the area. Among these, mention should be made of the stunning Clerecía building, whose cloister has been called "one of the most complete Baroque creations of all time".
Right opposite you can see the Casa de las Conchas, a building decorated with more than 300 stone shells. Before going into its beautiful patio, where you can see a mixture of medieval, Mudejar and Renaissance elements, have a good look at the window grilles - they are an excellent example of Spanish Gothic wrought iron work. Very nearby you'll find an architectural gem, the University. Salamanca University is considered to be the oldest Hispanic university in existence. Its Plateresque façade is pure stone filigree, but this is not the only surprising thing you will find. Go in and explore the interior: its library, patio, staircase, "Escuelas Mayores" and "Escuelas Menores" (university buildings) are truly splendid.
Next door is Plaza de Anaya Square. Crossing it takes you to the Salamanca Cathedrals. The magnificent ensemble comprising the New and Old Cathedrals gives you the chance to enjoy a huge variety of artistic styles, and visiting the "Ieronimus" exhibition you can explore its medieval towers, get to know its history and look out over the city from the rooftop. The Las Dueñas Convent, the Las Úrsulas Convent, San Esteban Church, Monterrey Palace… Salamanca has many different monuments that are well worth visiting. This is why it is a good idea to head for one of the Tourist Offices where you can get all the information you need to ensure you don't miss anything.
Universal, unforgettable and unique: this is Salamanca. Start preparing your holiday to Spain and come and visit. You will want to tell everyone about it.

With so many unknown factors lurking for those running at night, it's critical that runners planning an after-dark jog take measures to ensure their safety. Factors such as poorly lit areas, distracted drivers, fog, and even predators are all hazards that are out of a runner's control. Firmly in a runner's control, however, is how visible the runner makes themselves to others in the dark. While many runners rely on simple measures, such avoiding dark clothing and small bit of reflector tape on their shoes, too many stories exist of nighttime running accidents that could easily have been avoided had a runner been properly equipped.
The proper night running gear can help solve the problem of safety after dark and can have you covered from head to toe. Many running stores, including Road Runner Sports, one of our preferred stores, features a catalog of safety equipment designed to match any runner's comfort, style and need. From lighted headbands to reflective shoestrings, the variety of products available make it possible to stay safe without compromising an enjoyable running experience.
Reflective vests remain one of the most popular running safety articles, largely because they're effective, comfortable and less intrusive than some other night running wearables. Road Runner Sports offers an assortment of vests, including the ultra-light Amphipod Reflective Xinglet Vest, an over-the-shoulders configuration of straps that offers zero restriction, as well as the Nathan Streak Vest, which delivers 360-degree visibility of a runner's entire torso.
For more subtle safety gear, browse Road Runners Sports' reflective arm and leg bands. With offerings from makers such as Nathan, Brooks and Fun Source, the variety makes it easy to match the style you're looking for. The Brooks Nightlife Arm and Leg Bands are comfortable, elastic-fit bands that dramatically increase how well you'll be seen when running after dark. Or, take a look at he belt-like Nathan Reflective Snap Bands, adjustable bands that use L.E.D. technology to make drivers aware of you from as far away as 400 feet.
To improve how well you can see, in addition to how well others can see you, turn to Petzl's line of headlamp lighting bands, such as the Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp. At its maximum level, the Petzl Headlamp beam reaches 60 meters, but it also offers an adjustable beam width to help you adjust the brightness to your needs. The strap also comes equipped with an integrated whistle to call for help, and features two kinds of lighting (red and white) to let you further adjust it to your needs. (Run Gadget Editor's note: I personally use the Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlight and am very happy with it)
To the runner who is inclined to simply wear a white t-shirt with intentions of staying in well-lit areas while running at night, these may seem like extreme measures to ensure running safety. But with so much out there that runners don't control, it's important to smartly handle that which they do. And, just as properly stretching before any run, or getting fluids up before a big race, are important parts of any training regimen, so too is making sure that when you are visible when running at night. There is nothing more important than wearing appropriate night running gear. Making certain that you'll be seen should be priority one.
Many crimes happen to runners at night. Utilizing these ideas can help prevent that from happening. If identifying and preventing crimes like this from happening is important to you, consider taking courses in the Regis Online criminology masters program.

In order to improve my mood I went running - yes its therapy! One route I sometimes run is the tram road which is the location for an annual race that I have twice missed due to being unwell. Its only a short run - just 3.7 miles but it rises well over 2000ft from the desert floor to the tram base station. I have finished it in past training runs with final half mile killer incline but today was just for fun so I just ran half way! The real pleasure comes when you turn round to see the desert floor, roads streets and palm trees spread over in the distance below! Its a magic moment and I steel myself not to turn round until I've got as far as I intend to run.
|Actually the route UP which is deceptive as it dips at one point into a little gulley with a stream and lush vegetation that you can just see in the distance.
|The view down to Palm Springs in the distance and the edge of the wind farm on the left
|Encelia farinosa - brittlebush
|Datura wrightii
|Spaeralcea ambigua - desert mallow - this picture taken another year - not so much flower this morning!
|Justicia californica - chuparosa
Home, a shower and then out for brunch. Sunday brunch seems to be an American tradition, unmatched in the UK. Breakfast with a twist and usually accompanied by alcohol! Our own favourite is Bongo Johny's where they offer champagne or Mimosas (Buck's Fizz) for a $1 a glass - that's about 60p at the moment. Of course the 'champagne' has never been any where near France but EU rules don't count out here, so anything alcoholic with bubbles is champagne! Whatever, it has the right effect! Another thing I love about American restaurants is their flexibility. I fancied an omelet with bacon, avocado and Swiss cheese but not on the menu - 'No problem - you got it!' is the server's response! Good food and alcohol - both in moderation - solves a lot of problems! I'll pester the publishers another day!

First things first: make sure you are reinstalling/restoring for the right reason. Generally this will fix any and all software problems you may have: viruses, spyware, bad drivers, failed update or removal of a program, registry errors, etc. It is also a very good idea to reinstall/restore Windows if you bought a second-hand computer. However this will not help if your computer has any hardware problems. Use the "Hardware" section on this site to try to identify and fix any hardware problems first.
All laptops come with some means of restoring or reinstalling the operating system and software. Some, like most Dells come with a Windows CD and drivers/software CDs. Others like Toshiba and Sony come with HD image based restore CD/DVD sets. All Macs come with reinstallation DVD sets, and most of the rest come with a restore partition on the hard disk or a combination of CD and partition.
On all computers that have a hidden restore partition on the hard disk, there is a utility that will let you burn your own restore CDs or DVDs. Also you can purchase that set from the manufacturer, usually for a nominal price covering just the shipping and handling. Of course, if you are restoring to a new hard disk, you have to have these CDs or DVDs.
There are several steps in reinstalling/restoring the software on your computer: backup your files, reinstall the OS, install any new or updated drivers, install and update your antivirus, antispyware, firewall, etc. update Windows, install and update your software, copy your files back.
If your hard disk is damaged and you are replacing it, you can try to copy any files later, after everything is installed on the new HD. If you are reinstalling because of a virus infection and Windows wouldn't start to allow you to copy your files, you have two options: take the HD out and use an external USB box to transfer your files to another computer, or make a bootable CD, start your computer from it and use an external USB hard disk or a flash drive (with enough capacity) to store your files temporarily. It is also possible to start your computer from a bootable CD and copy your files to another computer over a network, but that would take much longer. And of course if you are one of the lucky people that has recent backup, you can skip this step completely.
Reinstall or restore Windows
If you are restoring from a CD, make sure your computer starts from it (usually press "F12" or "F8" as soon as you see something on the screen, or change the boot order in the BIOS). If restoring from a partition, see your documentation on how to start the process ("F11" on Gateway, "Ctrl" + "F11" on Dell, etc.).
If you are installing from a Windows installation CD, you have more options. Do not choose "Repair my current installation" option just after you press "F8" to accept the license. This only works if your Windows files have become corrupted after installing a new driver or new update, or after changing the motherboard on a desktop PC. When you are reinstalling because of a virus infection, best is to delete the current partition and let the installer partition and format your hard disk again.
At this point you have the option to split your hard disk into two (or more) partitions. This is indeed a very good idea, as you can install Windows on "C:" and keep all of your files on "D:", so when you have to reinstall Windows again, you can format "C:" and all of your files will remain untouched on "D:". Some laptops come setup that way by default – all Sony, some IBM, etc. You will usually need 8 to 10GB for Windows and all of your programs, and the rest for storage.
To do that, after deleting the existing partition (press "D", then "Enter", then "L"), create a new one (by pressing "C") and change its size to 8000 for 8GB or 10000 for 10GB "C:" partition. You can leave the rest of the hard disk unpartitioned for now. Then install Windows and as soon as it finishes, go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management, then click on "Disk Management", then right-click on the unpartitioned space of your hard disk and choose "Create Partition". Follow the prompts to create and format a NTFS partition. After it finishes formatting, this will appear as "E:" drive in "My Computer".
If you want to change the drive letter to "D:", right-click on your CD/DVD drive (still in "Disk Management") and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths…", then click "Change", then select anything after "F:", then click "OK" and dismiss the warning. After that repeat these steps for the second partition you just created (right-click on it… etc.) but choose "D:" for the drive letter. After that repeat again for the CD/DVD drive choosing "E:" as the drive letter and close the Disk Management/Computer Management utility. It is best to perform this step immediately after creating a new partition or formatting an existing partition, as all the references to any files that are currently on the partition will change.
Now go to "Control Panel -> User Accounts" and create a new "Limited User" account (you can use any name and password for it). Then log off (Start -> Log Off -> Log Off) and log on the new account. Now go to "Control Panel -> Display" and choose the second tab "Desktop", then click "Customize Desktop". Now check the "My Documents", "My Computer" and "My Network Places" checkboxes and uncheck "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard Every 60 Days", then click "OK" and "OK" again to save the changes.
Then go to "My Computer" and open "D:" (or "E:" if you didn't change the drive letter), right-click on the empty space there and choose "New -> Folder" and rename the folder to "My Documents".
After that right-click on "My Documents" on your desktop and choose "Properties", then click on "Move" and select "My Computer -> D: -> My Documents" (the folder you created earlier) and finally click on "Apply". Windows will ask if you want to copy the content to the new folder, click "OK" and "OK" again to close the control panel. Now all of your documents will be stored by default in the folder you created on the "D:" drive.
Drivers, Antivirus, Windows Updates
If you have a separate drivers CD (like most Dells), install all drivers now. If you restored from a System Restore CD set or partition, all drivers should be already installed. If you are still missing some drivers (check in "Control Panel (click on "Switch to classic view" on the left) -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager"), you will need to download them on another computer and copy them to a CD or a flash drive and then install them on your computer. All drivers for nearly all brands and models of laptops can be fount on the manufacturer's support web site.
There is a very handy utility in case you don't know what drivers you need: UnknownDevices.exe. You will also need to download the pcidevs.txt file http://members.datafast.net.au/~dft0802/downloads.htm and put it in the same folder as UnknownDevices.exe and run the utility. UnknownDevices will scan all the hardware on your computer (the PNPIDs) and for each "Unknown Device" it will give you the chip model, the chip's manufacturer and the device manufacturer, which on a laptop is always your laptop manufacturer.
After all drivers are installed, connect to the Internet and install your antivirus, antispyware, personal firewall, etc. and update them all. Then go to "Control Panel -> System -> System Restore" and move the slider all the way to the left, giving it 200MB of disk space. The Windows System Restore is useful in only two occasions: if a driver or Windows update doesn't install properly and the computer wouldn't start in normal mode but still starts in safe mode, or if your registry files become corrupted and (after ruling out hard disk and memory problems) you want to restore your registry by hand.
Now still in the "System" control panel go to "Automatic Updates" tab and select "Notify me but don't automatically download…". Then click "OK" to save the changes. After that Automatic Update will pop-up pretty soon telling you that two updates are available. Download and install them, then restart when done. Now Automatic Update will pop-up again and will tell you that there are over 60 updates available. Now is the time to go to "Advanced…" and uncheck any updates you may not want at this time, like the new (at time of writting) IE7 or the somehow controversial "Windows Genuine Advantage". Download and install the rest. Or if you prefer, run Windows Update.
Install your software and copy your files back
At this point I would strongly suggest to download and install either Firefox or Opera and use any of them as your main web browser. After that install all of your software and check for any updates for it. And finally copy all your files back to "My Documents" and the desktop.
If you backed-up any emails, you will have to import them back after creating your email account(s).
- For Outlook Express select "File -> Import -> Messages -> Microsoft Outlook Express 6 -> Select "Import mail from an OE6 store directory" and click "OK", then navigate to the folder that contains your .dbx files and click "OK" again to import them.
- For Outlook: select File -> Import and Export -> Import from another program or file -> Next -> Select "Personal Folder File (.pst)" -> Next -> Browse and select the copy of your outlook.pst -> Next -> Finish.
- For Thunderbird: make sure Thunderbird is not running, then copy the folder to exactly the same location "C -> Documents and Settings -> [your user name] -> Application Data -> Thunderbird".
- You can import your bookmarks in Firefox or Opera from whitin the program.
The folder "Application Data" is usually "invisible". To be able to see it you will have to enable "Show hidden files and folders" temporarily in Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View.
