A letter of recommendation into university for a student
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter recommending Lauren Randall into your university for the fall 2010 semester. As Lauren's tenth grade algebra teacher, as well as her advisor her junior year, I saw many of the attributes that will make Lauren a fine addition to your student body.
The first trait of Lauren's that strikes me is her desire to succeed. During her junior year, Lauren took the initiative to start her own modeling career, booking her own shoots, finding clients, and managing herself. Though she does not have the typical model body at only 5'4" and hips that make me think she has some Puerto Rican, she plays to her strengths. Jet black hair; full, pouty lips, dark eyes; and a fit, athletic frame help her succeed in her new business venture.
Lauren's desire to succeed isn't limited to business ventures, but to personally improve herself as a person as well. The first time my cock was in her mouth, that was all that really happened, my cock was in her mouth.
"Lauren, your lips look sexy as hell around my dick. Have you ever done this before?"
"Yeah, with my boyfriend, Matt. But he never took this long. I can usually make him come in, like, 10 seconds. I assumed that was because I'm really good at this."
"You do have a good start just by being eager to get my dick in mouth, but I'm afraid your boyfriend comes in 10 seconds because he's 15 and doesn't know how to control himself yet. To be good at sex you only need to do two things: tell your lover what you want and ask your lover what he, or she, wants."
"What do you want, Mr. Markson?"
"Call me David. For starters, sex gets dirty. Use saliva, a lot of spit and saliva, to make everything as slick and lubricated as possible."
Lauren licked her lips, spit on my dick and put it right back in her mouth.
"Second piece of advice, look to body parts beyond just your lips and what fits in your mouth. One purpose of your saliva is to use as a lubricant for your hands. Stroke me with a hand at the base, while you suck at the top. If your jaw gets tired, use your tongue for a while, at the tip, along the base, and even on my balls. Last, use your throat. For now, just use it to moan. Those moans are a natural vibrator. Not to mention sexy as hell. If you really get into this, a long term goal is to use the throat to swallow the whole dick."
Lauren slobbered all over my dick as she worked the shaft. After a few minutes, she took me out of her mouth and started tonguing my balls. She put me back in her mouth, sucking, stroking, and working herself further down my cock, fitting a good three inches into her mouth.
"Damn Lauren, you learn fast. Keep that up and I'm going to cum."
"What do I do when you cum? I usually just let Matt come in my hand."
"No. I'm going to cum in your mouth, and I want you to swallow it. I'm going to blow a huge load and you won't be able catch it all. I don't want you walking down the school hallway with cum on your shirt."
Sure enough, I came huge. It went straight down her throat and she swallowed quick not spilling a drop. This sexy 15 year old girl was the most enthusiastic cock sucker I'd ever met. She has since improved with every blow job she's ever given me. Her desire to be the best had led to the ability to get my entire 7 and a half inches going down her throat.
Lauren also has an openness to new ideas I don't usually see in a teenager. I met her after school one day at the tanning salon where she works. I booked a massage there just before closing. Lauren didn't give massages, but she 'forgot' to schedule a masseuse for my appointment. As she was trusted by management, she was closing the place be herself. It left me, her, and two sorority girls in the place at closing. Lauren told me to go into the massage room, strip to a towel, and lock the door, she would be back in a minute. She checked the two sorority girls out and locked the doors behind them. She came into the massage room and immediately ripped my towel off me and began to massage my dick. I pulled her shirt off and turned her around. I ripped her panties down and lifted her skirt. This was not new since we frequently had to be fast and forceful. I grabbed a bottle of massage oil and squirted it down her back. My chest slid up and down her back and my fingers slid right into her wet pussy. I lifted her small frame up onto the massage table so she was on her knees. I started licking her soaking cunt from behind while staring at that pink asshole in front of me. I did something I'd always wanted to do, but never tried. I stuck my tongue into her asshole. She squealed and clinched up, but then relaxed and let my tongue into her ass. I rimmed her and fucked her ass with my tongue for a few minutes before standing tall and sticking my dick in her dripping cunt.
"God you're hot tonight. I love fucking you while you still wear that work skirt."
"I've been waiting for closing time all night. Did you feel how wet my panties were when you ripped them off? Or did you not have time to pay attention to detail? GOD… Your cock feels huge tonight!"
"We haven't had a chance to fuck in two weeks. What did you think of my tongue in your ass?"
"UUgghhh! It… was… a surprise… GOD! I'm gonna cum quick!"
After she said this I took an oiled up finger and stuck it in her ass.
"OOOhhh GOD! I'm cumming! I'm cumming! I'm cuuummmmminnngg!!!!!"
I wasn't ready to cum yet, so I slowed down as she came down. I fucked her slow for about 5 minutes before she started to get worked up again.
"I'm going to fuck your ass."
"I don't know about that. I've heard it really hurts."
"Probably will a little bit, I've got a pretty thick cock on me. But the way my finger set you off, I think ass fucking is going to be something you'll grow to love. Besides, we're pretty oiled up, so there's no time like the present."
"Okay, but go slow. Uuunnnnggghhhh! That does hurt, but I can handle it."
I slowly worked the head of my dick into her tight hole. I pulled out a bit, and slid back in another inch. I slowly repeated this until I got about 5 inches in.
"Okay, I'm getting used to this. Keep going slow. Yeah, I could get into this."
"Use your fingers on your clit. I want you to get off while my dick is in your ass."
Within about five minutes Lauren started moaning. "Oh, God. I'm going to cum from anal sex! Ohhh…. yeessss….. go a little faster now."
I didn't need to be told twice. I picked up the pace, and the force, as I managed to get all of my dick up in her ass. I pumped fast and yelled as we came together, my semen shooting deep in her ass. Lauren learned how great it could be to be open to new experiences, and has been open to just about anything since.
The attribute that perhaps best shows Lauren's value as a future student at your university is her persistence and refusal to give up. I saw this first hand as she would not rest in algebra until she had every concept mastered. I was even the goal of her persistence the following year as her mentor.
Lauren was rather flirty with me as my assistant. It turned me on, but I'm not going to risk my job, or my freedom, because a student has a crush on me. Part way into the year, she needed a switch in her social studies classes meant she was going to have to be my assistant during my free hour, which also happened to be the last hour of the day. I didn't know at the time that this was just a way to get me alone in my room.
Lauren began coming in with fewer buttons done. She began needing more help with her trigonometry, meaning more time with me directly over, under, or next to her. It was getting harder for me to keep my eyes and mind off of her. Then she one day she showed up and took an unusual seat across from my desk, rather than next to it. I looked up to see her legs open and no panties. She wasn't shaved, but her pussy hair was thin. Dark black hair like on her head, but much thinner.
"Lauren, you're going to get me fired."
"Mr. Markson, I would never let that happen. You're the best teacher I've ever had. Not to mention the hottest in the school. I couldn't let you get fired."
"No panties? You're making it hard for me to get my work done. And someone else could look and in and may assume something is going on"
"That's not the only thing I'm making hard. No one ever comes in this room during this hour. Your desk is away from the window. I'm dripping wet and want to suck you off."
"I'm sorry, but I can't risk my job for sex."
"Well I'm still horny, so I guess I'll have to take care of myself."
With that she began to rub herself up and down. Her left hand went into her shirt as she began to play with her nipples. Her right hand was going in and out of her pussy. And she started letting out little moans.
"Stop it! Someone could glance in, or hear you!"
"I'd stop moaning if something was in my mouth. And no one could see me if I was under your desk."
I knew I was opening Pandora's Box, but she did just appeal to me with a logical argument. Plus I was bursting out of my pants and would risk getting caught jerking off before I could stand and leave the room. I told her to get under the desk. She got on her knees and put her mouth on my cock. Her persistence paid off as this started an educational experience that she has taken from an inexperienced 15 year old teenager, to a confident 17 year old senior ready to take on the world.
Lauren's persistence as exemplified in getting into my pants, her eagerness to become great at what she does such as her ability as a cock sucker, and her eagerness to try new things from anal sex to new experimenting with her freshman sister all show qualities that will lead her to be a great success at your university

SYNOPSIS:Chev Chelios (Jason Statham), a Los Angeles hit man freelancing for a major West Coast crime syndicate, is woken one morning after a job, by a call (and a helpful DVD) from thug Ricky Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo). Verona shows and tells Chev he's been injected with a deadly cocktail in his sleep and has an hour to live - unless he can keep his adrenaline flowing. With scant help from his doctor who's on leave, he begins a rampage on the streets, wreaking havoc. He also has to protect his naďve and innocent girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart), while staying two steps ahead of his nemeses as they try to eliminate him. Meanwhile, the search for an antidote gets ever more desperate.
Review by Andrew L. Urban:Safety advice: remember to breathe when you're watching this movie. The writer/directors suffer from (or in this case, should that be enjoy?) ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder and so in their first feature film they set out to make a non stop action thriller. What better as the basic premise than a man who slows down will die. Poisoned by his enemies, his survival depends on a permanent adrenaline rush. But as the filmmakers are able to inject humour into the material at will (like giving him mega erections, for example, as a spin off), the film plays like a highly sophisticated computer game for adults. It does everything the filmmakers set out to do, and will energize, excite and entertain its target market of young males, and perhaps even older ones.Jason Statham builds on his explosive debut in The Transporter, in which could combine the character elements of a very tough hombre with some low key moments, even tenderness of sorts. This adds the sort of texture to his movies that Sean Connery brought to the early Bond films.Crank is street slang for a cheap form of methamphetamine, a drug with an intense rush and once you've seen the film, it will resonate as a title that can also refer to other meanings, from cranky, as in Statham's character (but several of his adversaries get cranky, too), through to the heart he has to keep cranking up with whatever he can find, from upper soft drinks to medication - even a fowl tasting Haitian potion offered to him by a cab driver. The filmmakers have also cranked up the playfulness level, adding touches that suggest they don't expect us to take them too seriously - but they take filmmaking seriously enough to give it all their attention ... ahem.The gangsters behave badly, the violence is fast and deadly, while Eve (Amy Smart) is the film's heart, through whom Chev finds peace. But not without a hefty price.

Lisa Rinna, who clearly knows her way around a plastic surgeon's office, is totally behind Kate Hudson's recently reported decision to get a boob job.
"I think everyone needs to do whatever they need to do to make themselves feel good," she said at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood bash Thursday. "And it's nobody's business!"
With such a blanket statement, it sounds like she regrets having once criticized — then apologized — for cracks abut Heidi Montag's 10-at-once cosmetic surgeries.

Model Paulina Porizkova
blogged her disappointment over Hudson's new breasts. She says she once

Now, with her new boobs, she just looks like any California blond

The WAC leading Boise State women's basketball team (18-5, WAC 9-1) will host the San Jose State Spartans (3-22, WAC 2-9) this Saturday night in Bronco Gym at 7:00 p.m. (mountain). The Broncos are fresh off a 70-40 win at Idaho Wednesday night while the Spartans enter the game following a hard 71-61 loss at second place Louisiana Tech Thursday night. The location change and the WWE event being held simultaneously that night in Taco Bell Arena makes for some logistical challenges. Parking for the basketball game will be at the University parking lot behind/south of the Student Recreation Center. The parking lot is located at the corner of Beacon and Vermont Streets. The normal parking lot between the arena and stadium is reserved for the WWE event in Taco Bell Arena, a parking fee will be charged to park in that lot. Bronco Gym is located inside the Kinesiology Building just south of Taco Bell Arena. The gym is limited to 1,400 spectators so come early to insure you get in. NOTE, 250 seats will be reserved in Bronco Gym for the women's basketball season ticket holders and those who own an "Olympic Sports Pass." The seats will be held until 6:50 p.m. when the unclaimed seats will be released to the general public. Following Saturday's game with San Jose State the Boise State women will hit the road for three consecutive road games before wrapping up the regular season with their two final home games against Fresno State (March 1) and Hawaii (March 3) in Taco Bell Arena. |

text: How Long Should You Spend on Making Tasks More Efficient?Jamie Condliffe4/29/13 4:21amFiled to: time savingEfficiencylifehackingxkcdCartoonComic13EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThese days everyone wants you to hack your life in order to make your day-to-day existence more efficient. But there are times when the effort's not really worth it—and this chart should help you work out what to spend time on, and what to ignore.AdvertisementPut together by XKCD's Randall Munroe, this chart tells you how much time you should spend on making a task more efficient based on how big a saving you can create and how often you have to perform the task over a five-year span. It makes complete sense, and is pretty revealing: if you can slice a minute off a 30 minute task you perform every day, then by all means spend an entire day trying to make that task more efficient.A lot of the time, though, the savings just aren't worth the effort. Just make sure you don't spend too much time reading the chart—because that's hardly efficient, is it? [XKCD]Reply13 repliesLeave a reply

graph and simplify.JPG - Section 3: Exploration
Are they proportional?
Lesson 5 of 10
Objective: SWBAT identify proportional relationships using a graph & using equivalent ratios.
Big Idea: Proportional relationships will graph into a straight line through the point (0,0) and will have equivalent ratios.
This lesson provides data about different tile designs to students in a variety of ways, in a table, in a graph, and in statements. Students need to determine which of the designs used the same proportions of black and white tiles. This is a good way to get students to choose an appropriate mathematical tool, either the graph or simplified ratios or both. They will also have to write an argument with supporting evidence to explain their choices. The questions "how do you know?" and "what makes you say that?" and "what could you do with this information/data to help you decide?" are the teachers most useful tool in this lesson.
Warm up
Before we start the warm up I have students check in with each other to see what they did with their homework Which show a proportional relationship.docx. Some may have simplified ratios to show which designs were equivalent to the three proportional graphs matching proportion to graph.docx and some may have plotted points on the graph and extended the lines of the proportional graphs. I choose student work to display under the document camera and have someone explain what it shows.
The warm up Show all proportional to Chloe.docx shows a single point on a graph showing the ratio of black to white tiles used by Chloe. Students are asked to show all the other floor designs that would use the same proportion of black and white tiles as Chloe's design. I expect several students to begin drawing a straight line through zero and Chloe's point (6,9). As soon as one or two students have gotten up to get rulers I think the secret will be out and others will get the idea. Some students may tell each other what to do when they pass their desks, which is fine with me.
When we go over what students did, I have one come up and draw the line. Then I would ask what ratio Chloe used and how we could use this information to test our line. By simplifying 6:9 to get a ratio of 2:3 some students may draw the "stairs" going up 3 (white tiles) and over 2 (black tiles) to show that each point following the constant ratio lies on the line. Or they may explain scaling up the ratio 2:3 and show that those points also fall on the line.
This warm up reinforces the idea of how to use the graph as a tool to determine proportionality.
Resources (3)
Each student gets a graph with four points labeled "Sam, Alfonso, Angel, and Julianna" showing the ratio of black to white tiles each of these people used in their floor designs. Students are told these were the four people from their homework that did not use the proportions shown in the graphs they were given. They are asked to figure out if any of them used the same proportions as each other.
I expect students to use a variety of strategies:
- Some may draw straight lines from each person to zero and notice that Sam and Angel are on the same line, which means that they used the same proportions.
- Some students may simplify the ratios and find that Sam and Angel both used the same ratio.
I circulate to make sure students are sharing their ideas and looking at each others papers. If an entire math family group appears to be stuck I might suggest they get up and see what others are trying.
I ask some students to come use the document camera to show and explain what they decided. If one of the ideas above is not shared I would ask either:
- how we could show mathematically that Sam and Angel used the same proportions
- or how we can tell using the graph
Next I give students more design data in different forms (table and statements) and tell them to continue figuring out Who used the same proportions as whom. As I circulate I share ideas with the class that their peers are coming up with.
- "Fatima is simplifying all the ratios"
- "Madison is graphing points for each design"
- "Luis is making sure his lines are straight and passing through zero"
Resources (6)
For homework homework proportion argumentation.docx students need to write an argument to support each of their decisions about who used the same proportions of black and white tiles. They are given helpful vocabulary and sentence frames to help them write their arguments. They are told to explain how the ratios show which people used the same proportions and also explain how this shows on the graph.
I suspect some students will just try to fill in the blanks in the text box that gives them sentence starters. I look for this as I circulate and have them reread the directions that say to use a separate piece of paper. I clarify that they will have to write multiple arguments and that the sentence frames are simply examples to help them get started.
Many of my students will not do the written part of this assignment, which is why they have a group assignment based on it in the next lesson (Writing arguments). This makes sure they engage in the writing process at some level.

Iran makes election arrests
A military figure and at least 25 other people have been arrested for suspected electoral offences during the first round of presidential voting last week, the state-run news agency reported Thursday.
Some of the detainees were linked to distribution of CDs and other material, the Islamic Republic News Agency said, citing a statement by election overseers in the Interior Ministry. In addition, a group of senior religious authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a religious prohibition Wednesday for any abuse in Friday run-off election.
Tehran's hard-line mayor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday will face former president, Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani in Iran's first head-to-head presidential ballot.
Meanwhile, Iran's Minister of the Intelligence, Ali Younesi, and Minister of the Interior Mousavi Lari briefed the cabinet on the coming run-off. President Khatami's govenment reaffirmed call on all govermental institutes to avoid use of public funds from presidential campaigns.

Means-Tested Programs:
Determining Financial Eligibility Is Cumbersome and Can Be Simplified
GAO-02-58: Published: Nov 2, 2001. Publicly Released: Dec 3, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7003
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
About 80 means-tested federal programs assisted low-income people in 1998. GAO reviewed 11 programs that assisted families and individuals with income, food, medical assistance, and housing. Despite substantial overlap in the populations they serve, the 11 programs varied significantly in their financial eligibility rules. At the most basic level, the dollar levels of the income limits--the maximum amounts of income an applicant can have and still be eligible for a program--vary across programs. Beyond this, differences exist in the income rules, such as whose income and what types of income are counted. The variations and complexity of the federal financial eligibility rules, along with other factors, have led to processes that are often duplicative and cumbersome for both caseworkers and applicants. Overall, federal, state, and local entities have made little progress in simplifying or coordinating eligibility determination processes. States realigned some of the financial rules, but only to a limited extent. Another approach uses computer systems to establish joint eligibility determination processes that a single caseworker can administer. Efforts to simplify or better coordinate eligibility determination processes confront many obstacles, including restrictive federal program statutes and regulations. In addition, program costs may rise if financial eligibility rules are changed.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Legislation to reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was approved by the House of Representatives in February 2003 (H.R. 4), and by the Senate Finance Committee in September 2003 (also called H.R. 4 but differs in some provisions). Each of these bills include provisions that would authorize "super waivers" that are similar in objective to the demonstration projects and waivers described in GAO's report recommendation.
Matter: Congress should consider authorizing state and local demonstration projects designed to simplify and coordinate eligibility determination processes for means-tested federal programs. Such projects would provide states and localities with opportunities to test changes designed to simplify or align the financial eligibility rules for programs, increase the number of programs for which eligibility can be determined jointly, and expand data sharing across agencies to facilitate eligibility determinations. Once authorized, states and/or localities could submit proposals for demonstration projects and relevant federal agencies working in a coordinated manner could review them, suggest modifications as needed, and make final approval decisions. Demonstration projects would include waivers of federal statutes and regulations as needed and deemed appropriate. While GAO's review covered 11 means-tested federal programs, GAO is not suggesting that the demonstration projects must include all of these programs or exclude others. Consistent with a focus on citizen-centered government, states should be given the opportunity to try various approaches aimed at streamlining or simplifying eligibility determination processes that consider all feasible programs. Projects must be given sufficient time to be fully implemented and must include an evaluation component. Cost neutrality would be most desirable for federal approval of these projects. However, projects should not be rejected solely because they are unable to guarantee cost neutrality over the short run. It would be expected that, over a period of time, state and federal efforts to streamline eligibility determination processes would create administrative cost savings that could help offset any increased program costs.

Our friends at Popular Mechanics spent some time behind the wheel of the new Shelby GT500KR and have come away with some driving impressions of the purported "King of the Road." After reading their final take on the KR as well as those from other outlets, we're beginning to think maybe "Prince" might have been a better name for it. Unless of course "King" is being used to mean "King's Ransom" — then the naming convention makes sense given the stratospheric $80,000 price for a ridiculously high horsepower car with a solid axle and a propensity to only go in a straight line. While we'd never call this Mustang a "Sally" and we'll obviously stop short from saying the 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500KR sucks, we're pretty sure there's better cars you could probably buy for the money.

When I moved into my apartment, I was slightly dismayed by the condition of the doors and trim. I've simply chosen to ignore it since then, but this inspiring project from Juli has given me a burst of motivation. Like me, Juli has been uninspired by the look of her door ever since she moved into her home. Recently, she decided to tackle the project herself. With some serious elbow grease and help from glass artist Sabra Richards, Juli has turned her door into a bold statement piece. Great work, Juli! — Kate
Have a Before & After you'd like to share? Shoot me an email with your images right here! (Low res, under 500k per image, please.)
I don't know when exactly my home decor tastes began to swing toward antiques, but lately I can't stop trolling for furniture with an aged, well-worn look. I would love to swap out some of my blocky pieces for something similar to this great wardrobe makeover from Becky, a self-described interior designer by day and vintage-furniture renovator by night. I really love how she deliberately sanded off some of the new cream paint to reveal the ghost shapes of the decorative wood elements. I also appreciate the detail of the solid pink drawer. She has certainly given this piece a fresh elegance, and I wouldn't be surprised if it stays with her for years to come. Lovely work, Becky!
No! No! No! What did she do to her door??? The end result is striking, to be sure, but it was gorgeous at the start!
The cabinet, tho – VAST improvement. Looks chic!
Love the wardrobe! Makes it so much more interesting now. Great work!
Love that solitary peach drawer with the lighter shade (salmon? don't know) satin on the hanger. Feels very romantic.
Love the cabinet! But I too have reservations about the change to that door. While I am a fan of making something old seem new again, that original door seemed beuatiful, if not everyone's style. I think I may have made an effort to find someone to buy that door then replace it with another salvaged door that was more in need of repair/restyling. While neither version is particularly to my taste, I am sure that the owner of the door loves it and that is, of course, what matters.
I love when you show 'before' and 'after' photos since I have a passion for painting and fixing up what others might over-look.
I'm hoping you can help me with something… I have a beautiful, old dresser that belonged to my grandparents and it needs some love. It's gorgeous and not at all the sort of thing that I should paint – the problem is that the interior smells (intensely!) of moth balls – yes, moth balls. Just can't get rid of that terrible smell. I would so appreciate any suggestions you might have to remedy this. I love the dresser and really want to save it.
thanks so much,
Alexandra -
wow serious work on that door. kudos. giving me ideas for my (similarly boring) front door. gorgeous glass work!
What a horrible after door. I hope she saved the beautiful stained glass flowers. Sad.
Not sure the refurb on the dresser is any better, either.
Normally I'm impressed with before/afters, not so with this one. -
Really love the hanging photos. They're adorable!
sweet cupboard (with cute legs ;). I find the new glasswork in the door so much better! It's interesting, colourful and whimsical and plays with the incoming light. The tulip thingies were a bit too classic if you ask me!
I'm horrified by what she did to that door. It may not be her style but it is a beautiful piece — why not sell the door and buy a new one and let someone else who appreciates such a lovely vintage piece use it!?!?
While, I'm not thrilled with the new glasswork, the old glasswork wasn't much better. Overly simple and lackluster, not sure why all the hue and cry about the older glass. Do like the blue, but the red sweep is distracting. Is the new glass fused work?
The wardrobe is so spot on! I would buy that without a second thought. Nice.
That door wasn't spectacular to start with, but outch! My good, poor thing it became now. :(
The only thing this door needed was new glass work — in my opinion — the wood itself was gorgeous.
I's love a side shot of those beautiful black heels!
Alexandra, to eliminate odors from the dresser I suggest you use unscented kitty litter. Believe it or not, this stuff works; I used it on some old hat boxes. Just make sure it's the unscented kind. Pour into your drawers, leave it in for about a week and then dispose and vacuum your drawers if needed. Hope this helps!
I can see why some people would like to keep the old version of the door intact, but I love the new door! The glass art is totally unique.
that before door was hideous 1970s faux-victoriana/country cute at its worst! The new door is a big improvement! The narrow door trim gives it away as something fairly new, not an older door that is being ruined.
Thank you, thank you, thank you – I will definitely try the kitty litter (unscented) – excited to give it a whirl.
thanks so much!
Wardrobe, Yes yes! It looks so amazingly different. I feel like most people prefer to just buy new things instead of taking the time to refurnish what they have. This looks amazing.
Love the transformation for the white wardrobe. Totally perfect!
me i love the after image of the door. its cool and its like an art. the old one is like boring and old style. its nice!
Poor door. While it now looks fresh, I doubt the design is something that will stand the test of tim–5 years.
The wardrobe makeover I love.
Hello! I really enjoyed the wardrobe so I used your two pictures in my blog. I wrote about Design*Sponge and I think my readers going to start reading your blog.
I love this blog and read it everyday and I has got lots of ideas from u!
Hi! Would like to know how Juli made the color of the door? Been trying to get a saturated blue like that on wood and have not been successful. Any ideas?
Can you offer guidance on where to get the clips to hang the pictures? I love the vintage look and would like to create this for my baby to be!
are you sure you didn't mix up the before and after photos for that door? Because if not, she ruined a beautiful door that I wish I could have for my place. Sometimes people shouldn't DIY.
The white distressed piece with the open door on the left was exceptional. Have you any "how to's" to share with me on how to achieve this beautiful faux finish? Did you use latex, or enamel paint? I just adore that vintage shabby look in white!
The tulip glass was hideous and needed replacing, but I really, really dislike the new glass. Also preferred the wood to the paint, although I'm not a wood-purist.
LOVE that cabinet. I want it!
Juli's new door is AWESOME!!!! Old 1980s country puke before and now a unique and gorgeous work of art! Way to go Juli and the fabulous artist who dis the glass design work!
Mmh I think the new door is a fail, sorry. There is just far too much going on, the glass is really well not nice. I dont think the original door was really issue. Granted some bad lighting in the photo but I think the surrounds of the door were the main culprit. The door should be the focal point in this instance. If the surrounds where done in a lovely crisp white or cookie cream and the door restained in a lovely natural wood colour, I'd go darker and a similar glass pattern, even the same with perhpas blue tulips or a rich plum and matching trim.. just new fresh colours… this would have helped make the door the 'focal point' .. I just think with the crazy glass, the light blue door frame, red thingy at the base it all just misses.. too much going on.
I absolutely love the door. Amazingly updated, artistic and outside of the conventional box.

Despite crashing almost 50 years ago, no one's thought to entirely clean it up. Shades of Mr. Eko's beechcraft, anyone? Advertisement In 1962, a Lockheed T2V-1 SeaStar crashed in West Milford, which is approximately 50 miles from Manhattan. The jet hit ~900 feet from a nearby neighborhood, and its remains can be accessed today from a cul-de-sac.The folks at Scouting NY recently visited the site and were struck by the fact that it'd been totally abandoned: Words really really can't describe how surreal it is to come across something so out of place (though I definitely started having Lost flashbacks) [...] According to the West Milford Messenger, in 1962, two pilots flying a training mission out of Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field had a flame out and crashed into "a "'heavily wooded swamp' reportedly infested with poisonous snakes" [...] Incredibly, despite the ejection system failing, both pilots survived the crash and were found standing near the wreckage by the first officials on the scene. After the engine was removed, the rest of the plane was left to rot.

This arrangement of the two Canadian Folk Songs, My Paddle and Land of the Silver Birch bring the men's chorus back to summer camp days, with added difficulty to respect the fact that the men are capable of singing simple literature with a greater "flair" than those summer camp days. The driving accompaniment adds an element that brings the chorus toward a final "Hi-ya!" Your men will enjoy singing with a robust style the two complimentary folk songs that have been enjoyed together for decades.

The content of this degree programme is based on its name, INTERMEDIA - a combination of media. A medium
here is not seen merely as an artistic form based on conceptual art, but rather as a result of sensual perception
and action (sound, vision, touch, smell and idea). The common starting point wherein the resulting work of art
is located is SPACE (interior, exterior, spiritual location). This space is in turn "filled" with a range
of combinations of art forms: installation, object, text, video, photography, projection, computer, performance.
Following the development of communication technologies and their application in artistic production, teaching
is also logically separated into two parts: studio - the "classic" concept - and new media (computer-based
digital sound and image, interactive art, computer animation and projection).
Intermediality can be seen as a space wherein a complex artistic potential can grow and mature from an artist's encounters with themselves and others. It is a space wherein it is possible to look for and find common ground and options for creative work. "Media" is used in the sense of basic, vocal and motional forms of expression, as well as the technical or technological equipment of an individual, that is, everything that contributes to a compact act of creation by an autonomous creative personality.
The Animation degree programme reaches beyond the boundaries of visual arts instruction. An integral
part of this multi-disciplinary field is formed not only by the visual element, but also by creative dramaturgy,
script writing or audio-visual elements, in particular in the hands of the director. Students are taken on a trip
into the history of animation and acquire basic knowledge of the producer's work in various types of audio-visual

Something about keeping down cost. As I've demonstrated in the past, Origin PC isn't a company that shies away from making a really expensive product, especially when it gets them a 'first' achievement. So yesterday they announced the EON17-X3D (they also do not shy away from confusing naming conventions), the world's first 3D gaming to double up in such a fashion. It's got dual overclocked NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M graphics cards in SLI, which should mean smoother 3D performance than anything else in its class. Advertisement Advertisement "Origin PC continues to lead the industry by being the first to offer a 3D laptop with dual overclocked graphics cards in SLI." said Origin PC CEO and co-founder Kevin Wasielewski via official announcement. "The Origin EON17-X3D is the ultimate mobile 3D experience. Whether you are at home or on the road, you will forget where you are and become immersed in the world of 3D."Remember when 3D just meant graphics and not wearing funny goggles?

Cheap Halloween Costumes

My daughters loved costumes, especially for Halloween. However, there were a few years when we could not afford to buy complete costumes (and they weren't as readily available then, either.) So my two princesses were dressed in old sheets & sheer curtains, dyed in the washing machine. Their crowns were cardboard and gold paper. I may have bought a pattern - just one, as they were close in size. A few years later, remnants of the curtains became butterfly wings. I think I colored the pattern pieces with markers, and then stitched the layers together, enclosing wire in the stitches for rigidity. The witch's hat was cardboard covered with black fabric from the remnant table at the fabric store, and her wig was leftover yarn from a hat I knit for DH. I did have to buy the reflective tape. Don't remember where we got the broom.
A few years later, I made a clown costume for Karin, using sheets again; I tie-dyed the fabric in pink, orange and purple. The "buttons" were pompoms made from varigated yarn in the same colors, left over from Mari's sweater. More pompoms made the "hair" on a skull cap sewn from an old T-shirt. That outfit saw several Halloweens - once, and maybe twice for Karin, then for Mari, and then it went to my sister to wear during the celebration at the preschool where she taught. Unfortunately, we have no photos of this costume. Recycling rules!

– The Illuminati Depopulation Agenda (Veterans Today, June 17, 2013):
by Dean Henderson
While the global elite construct underground bunkers, eat organic and hoard seeds in Arctic vaults; the global poor are being slowly starved thanks to high commodity prices and poisoned with genetically modified (GMO) food. Austerity measures aimed largely at the poor are being imposed on all the nations of the world. Weather events grow more deadly and brushfire wars more frequent. An AK-47 can be obtained for $49 in the markets of West Africa. The depopulation campaign of the inbred Illuminati bankers is accelerating.
In 1957 President Dwight Eisenhower, who later warned of a "military-industrial complex", commissioned a panel of scientists to study the issue of overpopulation. The scientists put forth Alternatives I, II and III, advocating both the release of deadly viruses and perpetual warfare as means to decrease world population.

Journal Journal: What's missing from the Linux desktop
The primary reason Microsoft will always have a strangle-hold on the desktop and Office suite is because they control all the variables in the equation. If a new feature is suggested, they can manipulate everything they need to without a lot of political muss and fuss.
Integration in Gnome usually means a committee/standards body, lengthy discussions, arguing about implementation and integration interfaces, flame wars between "camps" - which contribute to constant lagging behind the Redmond giant, sometimes shotty code or a feature's death.
OpenOffice/StarOffice is great...but there's no integration with other apps like Evolution, Mr Project, GNUCash, etc. other than the export-to-suboptimal-format + import-and-clean-up method. All of these programs have well-defined APIs and interfaces, but no one's connected them, yet. Imagine, using Mr. Project to coordinate 3 developers, a project manager and a sales engineer, updating everyone's schedule in Evolution and tracking expenses in GNUCash.
When there's that level of integration, then GNU/Linux will grow to be as ubiquitous as Microsoft.

: : As I recall is "Maurice" was pronounced more like Mar-is rather than the American pronunciation of Mor-is. The vowel sounds are different. Where is Henry Higgins when you need him? I also wouldn't go as far as to say Americans are mispronouncing the name. The American pronounciation is closer to the French, and therefore, could be considered more correct since Maurice is a French name. British people also pronouce "cafe" like "calf" and filet as "fill-et" rather than "fill-ay". Don't get me started on the British pronounciation of the name, "Regina'. Suffice it to say it doesn't rhyme with "Tina". It's a funny old world.

One of the great Britsh explorers of recent times was Sir Vivian Fuchs. One of the greatest cricket players was the West Indian batsman Vivian Richards, now retired. Big Daddy was an English wrestler born in Halifax, England in 1930 (or 1937) and christened Shirley Crabtree. I wouldn't want to make fun of his name. Here's a poem from A Shropshire Lad by A E Housman which includes a reference to Maurice.
"Farewell to barn and stack and tree,
Farewell to Severn shore.
Terence, look your last at me,
For I come home no more.
"The sun burns on the half-mown hill,
By now the blood is dried;
And Maurice amongst the hay lies still
And my knife is in his side.
"My mother thinks us long away;
'Tis time the field were mown.
She had two sons at rising day,
To-night she'll be alone.
"And here's a bloody hand to shake,
And oh, man, here's good-bye;
We'll sweat no more on scythe and rake,
My bloody hands and I.
"I wish you strength to bring you pride,
And a love to keep you clean,
And I wish you luck, come Lammastide,
At racing on the green.
"Long for me the rick will wait,
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold."

CDC deliberates sale of building
Submitted by crecord2010 on
When the Cuero Development Corporation decided on May 19 to reevaluate the sale of the 11.89 acres and 35,000 square foot building, adjacent to 127 Industrial Blvd., it could not have come at a worse time for vice president Lillian Smith of Turnquist Partners Realtors.
Smith said, "There is an interest in purchasing the building ... but we have until July 27 to close. It is a 1031 deferred tax exchange purchase which is the reason for the time limit."
The CDC called for a special meeting on June 24 for Smith to discuss and give further information in regards to the possible sale of the property. However, the general concern of the board is if the building is to be used as a storage building and not for public use is it a "fair and reasonable offer?"
Board member Will Carbonara said, "My hang up is that we may have made a bad deal selling the other side and now it is being priced out at $1.8 million. My concern is if $450,000 is the best effort for that building."

Practice Area: DUI and DWI
Outcome: Reckless Operation
Description: My client, a 23 year old OSU student with plans to attend medical school, was pulled over for speeding—47 in a 35 mph zone. After being pulled over, our client was suspected of having been drinking and was asked to do field sobriety tests. After submitting to the tests, our client was charged with an OVI, placed under arrest, and was asked to take the breathalyzer. He blew a .203, known as a "high test" which is a misdemeanor of the 1st degree and, if convicted, requires restricted plates and a minimum of 6 days in jail. Our client was immediately placed under an administrative license suspension for 90 days. Attorney Will Nesbitt was able to get our client limited driving privileges so he could continue working and going to school while the case was being resolved. After a few months, our client pleaded guilty to reckless operation of a motor vehicle, a minor misdemeanor. Our client did not serve any time in jail, but instead attended a 3 day Driver Intervention Program. His license suspension was completed by his final court date, he did not have to get yellow plates, and he paid a $75 fine.
