Jonielle Soderstrom was greeted warmly by friends and former employees at a recent retirement party held in her honor at Creative Impressions, with friends and former workers bringing flowers, hugs and well wishes.
Jonielle Soderstrom was greeted warmly by friends and former employees at a recent retirement party held in her honor at Creative Impressions, with friends and former workers bringing flowers, hugs and well wishes. Soderstrom recently retired after owning and running the store for 29 years.
Soderstrom was born and raised in Langdon, N.D. Following college, where she majored in arts and home economics, and marriage to her husband Chuck, they moved to Minot where she taught home economics and art in Berthold. They soon moved to Devils Lake in the early 1980s, and she took a job Great Plains Lumberyard designing kitchens. She worked there for about three years before Soderstrom said she decided she wanted to do something different and own her own business. She purchased Creative Impressions, which fit her "love of sewing and designing," in a location near the LaMotte's store. She said the business was "much smaller then."
The store moved to multiple locations over the next 20-plus years, including into buildings that now house Bremer Bank, Lottas and Boots & Heels. In 2005, Soderstrom said they "grew out of what we had" and moved into Creative Impression's current location at 423 4th Ave NE. Soderstrom said the space also allowed the store to accommodate all of its product and services, which had expanded over the years. She said they often added additional machinery as they moved into new locations, including a silk screening machine and an embroidery machine. Eventually she said they added a four-head embroidery machine.
When asked what she thought about the changes in downtown Devils Lake in the last 29 years, Soderstrom said "things really changed when Walmart came in. I was there when it (downtown) was a real small town with Mom and Pop stores." She did note that things seem to be changing for the better in recent years in downtown Devils Lake, with the "nice addition" of some new locally owned stores.
One of the things Soderstrom said she enjoyed most about owning and working in Creative Impressions was the "one on one" interaction with customers on a daily basis. She also had kind words to say about her employees.
"I had lots of good employees there," she said. "There were many wonderful people."
She noted two long-term employees who worked for her for more than 20 years and helped her considerably - Bev Schuler, who did silk screening, and Dennis Strong, who worked in the embroidery department and "fixed any machine I had."
Soderstrom said she is looking forward to spending time with Chuck, who retired four years ago. She said their retirement plans include some short trips - including a trip to watch the Bison championship football game in Frisco, Texas. She said she also just wants to enjoy time at home. However, she added, "I'm not totally out of the business yet," as she has a hobby room in her home and will continue providing Creative Impressions with embroidery services.
Creative Impressions was purchased from Soderstrom by Cheri Martinson, who had worked at the store for several years.

Home schooling does an injustice to kids by limiting their exposure to people and learning opportunities.
Honesty first---I taught a total of nearly 30 years. In that time, I had students from age 3 to 73. Twenty five years was in Devils Lake, about five years in junior high and over twenty with seniors. I am pro-public education.
I posted a Kahlil Gibran poem yesterday. The first lines are:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
Two lines in the second stanza read:
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
I believe it is a parent's job to raise Adults, not eternal children. It is our duty to raise our kids to be informed and involved citizens, not brainwashed to believe as we do, but to becitizens who can think for themselves, people who are prepared for a future that will be very different from the present. We need to teach kids to question everything and everyone; to be people who are not obedient automatons. People who as adults will not be victims of dictators, false prophets, and scam artists. Remember Nazi Germany and other totalitarian states? Orderly obedience led to Hell for many.
Kids who "have their own thoughts" says the poet. These thoughts should based on accurate information, not propaganda or biased emotionalism.
We should strive try to raise people who are lifelong learners. To do so we strive to meet the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of our kids. We strive to give them good food and rest; security and safety; love, support, and discipline; connections with friends, family, pets, and neighbors. We encourage reading and let them chose their own books. We encourage curiosity when we take them out of doors and provide experiences and lessons in nature, geography, art, music, architecture, engineering and history as often as we can. We parents know a wide range of subjects, but we cannot be knowledgeable about all topics.
Are we prepared to know how place and life experiences influenced a writer? Are we informed about the era of a piece of literature? Can we help identify irony, sarcasm, hyperbole, symbolism, analogy, themes, motifs, and the many other literary devices that enrich literature? What about rhyme scheme, haiku, sonnets, odes, and numerous other forms of poetry?
I have a Master's Degree, but I am no expert in physics or trigonometry. I thoroughly enjoy the biological sciences, the social science and geomety, but I am not prepared to take my own children as far as they can go, or have gone, in advances mathematics and the physical sciences.
I do not believe that anyone who keeps her kids home is doing right by her kids. There is a difference between "schooling" and "education." "Schooling" is imposed---"education" is drawing out (e=from, duct=a tube)
Recently, the Home Schoolers raised a fuss in Bismarck over their kids taking the achievment tests kids who attend school have to take. WHY? What are they afraid of?
They said "We teach a different way." So what? The children either learn the material and about people, or they don't. The method and materials are hardly the issue, although some of the materials deny science and have rewritten history.
Memorizing is NOT being educated. It is the lowest form of learning. Spelling Bees and geography contests are great fun, but not education. They do not require questioning, observing, theorizing and testing the theory, logic, and that wonderful quality---curiosity.
Public Schools are not perfect. No one, nor any system, can be "all things to all people." But in schools, kids have the opportunity to hear various points of view, meet a variety of people, and learn to negotiate to get along with people of different incomes, values, abilities, talents, heritages, families. At the high school and above level, their teachers are specialists in the subject matter. This variety is preparation for LIFE.
Seven billion people occupy this planet. We must learn to get along, to share and protect the earth's resouces. We must learn to discern the difference between truth and bias, spin, charged language and just plain mis-information. We must learn to respect each other, and set a goal of Peace for All. We do not learn that by staying in the shelter of home. We do not have the wide variety of experiences the world and a variety of teachers and classes has to offer.
I know a woman who dropped out of high school and ran away who home "schools." I know another who works full time 30 miles from her home who claims she "home schools." Her kids are home alone all day. I know another family who are educated and who farm. Their kids are bright, well read, well mannered, but they have few social skills.
Again, "Your children are not your children but ....Life's longing for itself." "They have their own thoughts." Rejoice! Encourage them to be free, to read and think, to be discerning, to be accepting of differences, to be kind to all. Let them become themselves.

The Dublin Metropolitan Police was formed in 1836 to replace the old Dublin Watch and remained in existence until it was amalgamated with An Garda Siochana in 1925.[1] An excellent publication by Jim Herlihy lists various members under different headings in the appendix. One such heading is "Ex-members of the Royal Irish Constabulary" and this list contains the following information:[2]
Maher, Jeremiah, DMP 144, born 1808, Paulstown, Co. Kilkenny
DMP 144 is the warrant number and all 12,566 members of the force had one.

I hate it when my predictions come true!February 24, 2011 at 7:20 pm | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 4 Comments
Tags: aches, arthritis, doctor, GP, neck pain, pain, physical therapy, physio, physiotherapy, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis
I posted on 25 January to say that I'd finally given in and made a doctor's appointment to get a physio referral for the presumably RA-related pains and niggles in my 'shoulder' (really acromoclavicular joint, but that's such a mouthful!) and that by the time the appointment came through I'd be feeling better. Well guess what … it has and I am … mostly.
I am still getting various shoulder niggles but nothing like I was back then. Mind you the appointment isn't until the middle of next week, so who knows, perhaps I'll feel awful again by then! (Not that I want to. I really, really don't want to!)
It's quite surprising how OK I am, given that I had what I thought was a rather nasty fall on Saturday. I'd come back from a lovely afternoon out with a friend to find that hubby had been busy in my absence and washed all the carpets! (This is a pretty big job, although not as big as it could be given that our downstairs rooms are all carpet free and so is the upstairs office.) I was suitably impressed but my head was obviously full of my afternoon out and didn't have room in it for common sense, so I went upstairs, walked all over the damp carpets, put on my very non-non-slip slippers, got the soles nicely damp and then, carrying an armload of files, went into the office, with its new laminate floor.) SPLAT! THUMP! OUCH!
Five minutes later hubby wandered up (having failed to hear the thump or the loud penguin squawking), saw me still lying on the floor (wondering whether it would be wise to move and whether we had any handy brandy), made one of those meaningless comments that one does make in such situations, like 'Are you OK?' when I patently wasn't, took a step toward me and very nearly landed right on top of me!
Fortunately he managed to right himself, because that would have been such an embarrassing story to explain to the ambulance crew …
I eventually picked myself up, concluded there was nothing broken or even sprained but that I'd have a bruise the size of a planet in the morning, took a couple of paracetamol and whinged for the rest of the evening … obviously the new laminate floor in the office is springier than I'd thought because I didn't even have a bruise the size of peanut to show for it! In fact, apart from being slightly stiff, I was fine. (And in case anyone else has the same sense of humour as my brother (which is quite unlikely) the floor is also fine!)
Actually my 'shoulder' has been slightly better since the fall … but I don't think I'll be patenting it as a new cure!

Wow. This question evokes lots of emotion.
I was always under the impression that Thurmond was competing for nickel.
Both are essentially playing for new contracts. Tical said Browner could play for any team. So not true. Browner is a brutal press corner, but doesn't look so good in zone. There will be a number of penalties with his style of play, there just will. Pete has acknowledged as much.
Montana pointed out he lost a game once. Well, he won the Panthers game. After he settled in, his play vs Washington in the playoffs was great. Brutal, but IIRC, the Washington receivers did a lot of yapping that week and initiatied the rough play.
And vs Atlanta, Browner was good. Thurmond was where? 22 out of 48 games is not reliable.
When I try to figure out which one to keep, age vs injuries is the question. Versatility vs single side corner. Brute vs technician. playmaker vs possible shutdown corner who is in repair shop more than half the time. PED user (which might be behind some of the sentiment) vs as yet clean player. I get the feeling a little patience will take care of the question. Jeremy Lane is part of the equation as well.

Ranked the top QBs only mentioning a few, but he ranked the rookies up for rookie of the year as:
10. Robert Griffen
11. Andrew Luck
13. Russell Wilson
What say you?
If you want to watch the video its on the espn NFL page.
Edit. I should add that we should not expect Russell to win the rookie of the year award, especially with media guys like Jaworski and Clayton thinking Luck is more deserving. Isn't it 50 media guys voting on the award anyway?

If there is one thing Windows Phone supporters are good at, it's self-promotion. We have a lot of evangelists in the crowd who want to get the word out about their OS of choice. We don't blame you either, but we're only as good as the tools we have to work with, which is why Tile Me! is worthy of your attention.
Over in the sub-Reddit dedicated to Windows Phone, a social media consultant named David Kimball had an idea: why not create profile pictures that looked like the Windows Phone Me Tile? The idea was to allow you to change your profile pic on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc., with the Windows Phone styled design, resulting in more awareness.
While a solid idea, it did lack one thing: practicality. That's because David was creating the images one-by-one based on user request (see his website). While certainly helpful, in the long run that would not be feasible, especially if we sent a hundred thousand of our daily readers there.
Enter developer InfiniteLoop who decided to automate the process. What better way to do that than with a free (ad supported) Windows Phone app? Users can download Tile Me! for free, insert an image, pick their tile color and save it to their library for profile replacement. A paid version is evidently on the way, should you want to support the dev, but for now, you can use the ad-supported and free version.
In the future, we'd like to see support for the higher quality PNG format in addition to JPEG, but for now we'll take what we can get.
Overall, it's a nifty little app powered by a great idea.
Pick up Tile Me! here in the Store. All Windows Phones. Thanks, Justin M., for the tip!

The NYC Department of Education wants to put a charter school in PS 15 in Red Hook. This decision has been made in spite of protests from the school, community & parents, & the potential impact on PS15 could be incredibly negative. This blog presents information on the situation to the community to open a dialogue about the situation to resolve it successfully. Posts represent the opinions of individuals posting them, & are not necessarily the opinions of the staff & administration of PS15.

Let's focus on pendant placement and style at the bedside an important and often-overlooked space. Consider lighting up your bedside with a pendant-style fixture instead of a table lamp. It's a bit edgy yet it's practical because of all the floor or table space it frees up.
Savor and relax. Imagine doing a few gentle stretches or yoga poses before bed lighting a scented candle and sipping some chamomile tea while you write in your journal. There are no to-do lists or pinging phones vying for your attention. You can simply be. Imagine how easy it would be to gradually unwind release the tension of your day and ease into a restful deep restorative sleep in a space free of clutter and distractions. Once the busyness of the day is done make time to simply relax in your newly cleared space. Take action: Once your bedroom is clean and clutter-free pick and choose from the list below to enhance your space and get a better night's sleep: Use a linen spray or essential-oil diffuser with a relaxing scent like lavender or rose keep a small vase of fresh flowers on your nightstand do a few gentle stretches or yoga poses to help release the tensions of the day take a warm bath with essential oils before bed sip a cup of herbal tea and write in your journal gradually dim the lights in your bedroom an hour before bed ending with just a single candle before blowing it out and going to sleep.
Boho glam. Pick a classic decorator favorite (like the upholstered bed with nailhead trim shown here) to build the room around then mix and match accessories at whim. Bamboo blinds and colorful printed bedding paired with a glass-top table and a fun framed print add up to a laid-back yet glamorous look.

Parisian chic. A restrained palette of black and white can feel really luxurious especially when you choose textures and details that thrill the senses. Smooth dark (or even painted) wood floors and crisp white walls create an envelope to fill with little luxuries — fine sheets and a delicate coverlet a petite chandelier a velvet cushion. Add a bit of sparkle with a few vintage perfume bottles and spritz sheets with linen water before slipping in for the night.Because the bedroom is one of the simplest rooms in the house it's often overlooked. One of the first steps to a great bedroom design is having an efficient and well-designed floor plan that gives you everything you want — no matter how much space you start with.

Ottomans can easily adapt to life as nightstands. They can be found upholstered or in leather or wood. They also come in a variety of shapes: round square rectangle octagon. Choose a piece that is about the same height as the top of your mattress in a width suitable for the space next to your bed. With upholstered ottomans you may want to place a tray or large book on top to create a flat surface for a lamp and other bedside items. Tip: Look for an ottoman with additional storage inside. Many have compartments specifically designed to store shoes — a bonus for shoe lovers.

Boho glam. Pick a classic decorator favorite (like the upholstered bed with nailhead trim shown here) to build the room around then mix and match accessories at whim. Bamboo blinds and colorful printed bedding paired with a glass-top table and a fun framed print add up to a laid-back yet glamorous look.Increase light and ventilation. Locating your bedroom at the corner of your home can give you windows on two or more adjacent walls. This gives you the added benefit of cross ventilation and a softer natural light.Refined feminine. Crisp black and white stripes paired with soft misty blue create a chic elegant look that is easy to love. Keep accessories pared down and simple with favorite bags and jewelry on display and a few simply framed art prints on the wall. Bring in delicious texture with a cuddly mohair throw and smooth sateen sheets.Old-world comfort. Plump cushions and deep bedcovers are pure luxury. The patina of age on a mirror paired with full-length drapes and a personal collection of antiques call to mind venerable old European hotels. Silvery gray-blue paint plush wall-to-wall carpeting and creamy bedding are a serene match for this look.Imagine walking into your bedroom and seeing clear clean surfaces. The bedcovers are smooth and inviting the pillows are plumped and on your nightstand is nothing but a vase of fresh flowers a candle a cup of herbal tea and your journal and pen. Any clothing has been easily put away because it fits within your dresser and closet space with room to spare. If you have children imagine finally coming into this beautiful space closing the door behind you and enjoying a few moments of blissful peace and quiet.Hang wall-mounted reading lights close to the sides of the bed or above it (about 6 inches from the edge of the mattress or headboard). Place them at a point that makes sense for the position in which you read: sitting straight up stretched out on your stomach etc. You want the beam to shine directly on the page not at an oblique angle. For maximum flexibility choose articulated reading lights that you can adjust to suit your height and your reading position. Go for a style that focuses light in a narrow beam rather than diffusing it over the surrounding space.Serene in green. If you like the idea of a bold ceiling color but find that orange is a bit too zesty for you try a more soothing hue such as green. This green is still vibrant but because it picks up on the natural verdant hues out the window it isn't quite as punchy as the previous palette. A super soft sage green on the wall bridges the ceiling color and the pure white trim nicely.Create a peaceful atmosphere. What would a peaceful bedroom look and feel like to you? Consider whether there's a certain color (like vivid turquoise) or object (like a vase of fresh flowers) that really brings to mind the mood you want to create. Only bring in objects with the intention of cultivating peaceful restorative feelings. Take action: Take some time to sit quietly in your refreshed space and list the colors objects and activities you'd like to invite more of into your room. Pick one item on your list and take a step toward making it a reality. For example if you'd like to paint your bedroom a more soothing hue take a trip to the paint store to pick up swatches. If you'd like to incorporate meditation into your nightly routine create a quiet corner with cushions where you can practice.Dapper gent. As polished and tailored as a bespoke suit this look is based around handsome materials like wool wood and leather and traditional menswear patterns like a windowpane check and plaids. Furniture with clean lines and neatly tucked bedding keep things looking fresh and modern while a monogrammed accent injects a bit of personality.Bookshelves are stalwart storage options for so much more than novels and nonfiction. If you have enough space on one side of your bed try placing a bookshelf against the bed wall. It can house books (of course) as well as decorative boxes for storing personal items like those earplugs and eye masks. If it has an open back or a hole for threading out a cord then the shelf can store a small reading lamp too. If your bedroom door is in a corner of the bedroom as is quite common the bookcase will probably look best placed in the corner farthest from the door. This placement will make the room appear more balanced upon entry. This rule doesn't apply if your door is in the middle of the room. Tip: Keep your bookshelf neat and styled by mixing books with decorative items. Try color coordinating the spines of the books and alternating their placement from horizontal to vertical. Both strategies will help create an intentionally designed look.Keep privacy in mind. It's always nice when you can leave the bedroom door open without forsaking all of your privacy. The small foyer in this example provides separation from the family room. I always try to avoid designing a layout in which you look directly into the bedroom from a more public space like a great room kitchen or family room.Warm modern. Keep a clean minimalist look from being too cold with a stroke of fiery red or orange. Here a wide striped bedcover echoes the color in an oversize painting. If a painting of this magnitude is beyond your current budget consider stretching a length of bold fabric on stretchers meant for canvas (find them in art stores). Choose a simple platform-style bed and slim task lamps then fill out the room with a healthy potted plant and a vase of flowers.This easy styling trick is perfect for renters or decorators short on time. You don't need to mount oversized art — just lean the frame against the wall. This has the bonus of adding to the relaxed effortless feel we're going for in this room. I like to work with oversized prints and frames as they're a little bit unexpected and draw your attention.The nightstand next to your bed is one of the most essential surfaces in your bedroom. It provides a home for books photo frames and sleepy-time necessities like eye masks and earplugs. Most of us opt for the classic version: a small square table with a drawer and a matching counterpart on the other side of the bed. But this functional area doesn't have to be so well square. Swapping out that classic nightstand for a piece of non-bedroom furniture can add personality as well as function to your bedroom. Here are unique alternatives to the classic nightstand. The best part about these options? They are common enough pieces that you may already have them on hand. If not you'll be able to pick them up for a reasonable price at a garage sale or flea market.A nightstand is an essential piece of bedroom furniture at least for those of us who need a resting spot for a book glasses or that midnight drink of water. But finding space for a full-sized nightstand in a small bedroom can be a challenge.Cool blues. A navy blue wall color adds a bit of drama to the room while helping to frame the fetching views. A softer blue hue on the ceiling mimics the sky giving the room an even more expansive vibe than it already has. A cool white color for the trim adds a clean crisp linear element. This is a decidedly cool color palette so it's best for bedrooms in hot and sunny locations.A nice way to mix and match furnishings is to unify them with a common hue. In this space the lamps differ in height and style but the color green is what allows them to "speak" to each other. On either side of this bed you'll see that the nightstands and artwork are different. However equity is created because the height on both sides is the same. This type of symmetry is not always necessary but visual balance does help to make a room feel more comfortable for some people.A floating shelf provides enough space for the nightstand essentials: a vase of fresh flowers a candle — perhaps in a soothing scent like lavender — and a book. The designer saved surface space in this North London bedroom by choosing a hanging pendant. With no room to go wide along the sides of this bed the designer created a narrow but deep shelf. This photo of the same bedroom shows how the floating shelves line up neatly with the walls of the niche. The space beneath them is still available for stashing items; here it's a black case but baskets decorative boxes or even a stack of books would also work.There's no reason a floating shelf needs to be wooden. Blogger Michelle Hinckley found this vintage version at an estate sale and spray-painted it white. A slim task lamp offers lightweight illumination. This bedroom has a bit more space on either side of the bed. Nonetheless it's a good illustration of how floating nightstands can create the feeling of buoyancy in a room. Because floor space isn't taken up beneath the wall-mounted tables the room reads as a little more open. The pathways on either side of this bad aren't wide but the two floating cubes create the illusion of more space since they don't fill the entire gap. Pendant lights save surface space. The feature wall is planked cedar. This floating nightstand is in the same wood as the behind-the-bed feature wall and has a contemporary minimalist look. This space isn't as small as some of the others but the wall behind the bed doesn't have much space on either side of the bed frame. The floating shelves have two layers offering more space to stash nighttime necessities. This floating option isn't really a shelf at all but a ledge built into the wall planking. It holds a clock radio and plant with room left over for glasses and cellphone.Calm the visual noise. Ideally the bedroom would be solely devoted to rest and relaxation but if you live in a smaller space this simply may not be possible. If you must make room for your desk in the bedroom aim for a setup that allows you to hide everything away when you're done working. Tuck work-related items into drawers and cabinets leaving surfaces as clean and clear as possible for a restful feeling. Take action: Remove anything that reminds you of work bills or to-dos from within visual range of your bed. If you can find a place to store these items in a different room do so. If not clear out a drawer or shelf in a closed cabinet to keep them out of view.Simple circulation. Try to keep your circulation on one side of the room. Hotels do a great job of this. There's a reason 90 percent of hotels have the same floor plan: because it's simple and it works. Circulation plans become a little more challenging with en suite rooms (bedrooms with bathrooms attached) or bedrooms that have doors to the outside. To save on space pay attention to where you locate the bathroom and closet in your bedroom. Rooms that have bathroom or closet access before the sleeping area require a longer hall (see the left-hand plan). If you organize the circulation so the bathroom and closet are accessed through the sleeping area (right-hand plan) you don't need a separate hall and you can add the circulation space into the room to make it feel larger too.Consider the furniture layout. Your bedroom's architecture should take your furniture into account. Bedroom floor plans usually have a bed wall — but what about dressers nightstands TVs chairs and a desk? Work with your architect or designer to make sure there is enough space beside the bed for nightstands and ample circulation so you can access three sides of the mattress.Tool chests are not just for the handy. They can be a solid piece of furniture with ample storage. Their typical sizes — 18 to 48 inches wide and in a variety of heights and depths — can easily fit the space next to a bed. Most tool chests come in a glossy color — red and black being the most common — and can be purchased for less than $100. Or perhaps you have one in your garage just waiting to be repurposed. Either way a tool chest is a multifunctional storage piece that can add character and quirk to your bedroom. Tip: Try a tool chest as a nightstand in a kid's room. The bright colors multiple drawers and small scale can add useful storage and a pop of color to your child or teen's room.Let's focus on pendant placement and style at the bedside an important and often-overlooked space. Consider lighting up your bedside with a pendant-style fixture instead of a table lamp. It's a bit edgy yet it's practical because of all the floor or table space it frees up.Step stool. A repurposed step stool is a smart budget-friendly and space-saving substitute for a night table. Whether designed for a child's room the kitchen or the garage stools often have small proportions that are good for small spaces. A typical step stool measures 15 to 18 inches wide and about 21 inches high making it a good fit for many beds. Tip: Since a table lamp might take over much of the surface area of your step stool consider installing a wall sconce above it instead. That way you'll have room on the stool to place books reading glasses or a vase. If your bedroom allows space pair the stool with a similar-size furniture piece on the other side of the bed.Trunk or suitcases. To add a vintage look to your bedroom go for those old and weathered suitcases you've had your eye on in the thrift store. Stack them together and place a sturdy tray on top for a fun DIY night table. Opt for a variety of colors to create a design feature in the room or get crafty and paint your suitcases the same color for a more Shabby Chic look as in this photo. Similarly pull that old trunk out of your attic. The large surface area can easily accommodate a lamp and other decorative items. Carry the vintage style of the trunk into the rest of the room by scattering around small accessories like old photo frames or an antique mirror. Tip: The storage space inside a trunk is a perfect place to stow extra blankets.Cozy rustic. Raw unfinished wood is key to this look but you don't need to splurge on a big piece to make it work. Use a plain wood slice (find it in a crafts store) as a tray to hold bedside necessities repurpose a wood stump as a table or bring in a few rustic wooden boxes as bedroom storage. Create warmth with cozy patchwork quilts wool blankets and faux fur pillows — and if you have a pair of cowboy boots be sure to leave them out on display.Color pops. Liven up a plain bedroom with an accent wall covered in fabulously bold wallpaper. For the truly fearless choose a contrasting color (like the yellow here against the peacock blue wall) for the bedside tables and cushions. If you prefer to limit your pop to one place choose a white or wood headboard and tables and layer on neutral (but deliciously textured) bedding.Not all table lamps are created equal for reading. Ideally the base of the shade should sit level with your eyes when you're propped up in bed and the shade should direct light toward you rather than channeling it up or down. Floor lamps also are an option but they compete for space with nightstands so it can be harder to make them work.A styled nightstand makes your bedroom look complete. Keep only essential items here such as a lamp clock and book and decorative details like a dish to hold your jewelry or a memento. Keep this area clean and dust-free as you don't want to wake up to a mess or breathe in allergens while you sleep. The interior style of your bedroom should guide you in your choice of bedside items. A coastal-inspired bedroom could have lush green tropical leaves in a glass bottle on top of a stack of books and a maritime-inspired clock for example. Boho bedrooms might feature a small arrangement of brightly colored flowers and a string of beads. Just don't be overly obvious in your approach to themes.Take your time. Great design takes a while and usually requires refining before you come up with the perfect plan for your lifestyle. Don't rush through the design — it's worth taking a little extra time up front to make sure you have a more efficient and functional plan in the end. The truth is great design doesn't necessarily mean a space that's overly complex and expensive to build. A space that functions better costs less to build is more efficient to run and is easier to maintain can be an outstanding example of great design.Embrace your whimsical side and opt for a chair as your night table. This look works particularly well when just one side of a bed has room for a nightstand — though it also looks adorable when you double up with chairs on both sides of the bed. Tip: For added interest select a chair that has a different texture from the other textiles in the room. For instance you might choose velvet against silk. It's also fun to choose a color that is different from but coordinates with the other colors in the room as in this bedroom. Add a hard tray or book on top of the seat of your chair to create a sturdy surface for your bedside knickknacks.Fresh romantic. Pure linen sheets or pillow shams flowing white curtains and fresh flowers are musts for this look. Practicing a bit of restraint will keep it from veering into froufrou territory — a bit of a ruffle perhaps but skip the floral prints. Walls painted a pale minty green provide a soothing backdrop.Tropical hue. Deep watery blue hues are among my favorites for a bedroom. The slight green undertones give a bit of warmth that a true blue lacks. It's also a nice choice if you happen to associate the color with a vacation spent someplace warm lush and tropical. For the ceiling I went with a crisp and light greenish-gray and the trim color is a slightly cool off-white.Squeeze in a micro shelf. Think there isn't even room for a shelf? Think again. When a bed has to be squeezed into an alcove it can seem as if there isn't any room for bedside storage but this teeny-weeny shelf attached to the side of a closet is a clever solution. The curved edge is a safer option if space is tight and the shelf is close to the bed out of necessity. Admittedly displaying a vase of flowers here may not be terribly practical if this room is used every day but this dinky shelf would be the perfect size for a phone or alarm clock.Are you at a loss for what type of night stand to purchase? First consider how much space you have. If you have a small bedroom think about ways that your night stands can serve another function. A table for a nearby armchair or a small chest of drawers for clothes storage are two convenient options. Allow room for table lamps or install wall mounted sconces to read by. I am a firm believer in the power of drawers - they make your life easier less cluttered and more functional. At the very least try to find a table with a shelf to stash your magazines and books.Connect with the outdoors. While this might not be feasible in all climates connecting a room with the outdoors is a great way to make the space feel larger and admit more natural light. If your bedroom is on the ground floor (or is on the second story and has an adjacent terrace) adding a set of French doors can instantly increase visual space.Reframe clearing clutter in a positive light. It's all too easy to let the bedroom become a dumping ground for all the random items that don't seem to fit anywhere else. So the first step in clearing clutter is to consider what you do want in the bedroom. Fresh sheets good lighting your current book on the nightstand? Definitely. Piles of paper children's toys and the vacuum cleaner? Probably not. Take action: Center yourself by taking a few deep calming breaths before you begin. Then start sorting through items in your bedroom piece by piece choosing those you want to keep there and removing everything else. Don't worry right now about where the unwanted items will go — separating out this part of the process can make decision-making much easier.Focus on the view. A bedroom always feels nicer when the first thing you experience is a pleasant view out the window — as opposed to a view looking straight at the bed. If you're designing a new bedroom or reworking an old one try to come up with a layout that focuses on the vista — whether it's something as stunning as a lake or as simple as your backyard.Lovely lavender. Light-to-medium purple shades are thought to ease our stress levels. If you could use a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom give a lavender or lilac hue a try. I suggest sticking to a shade that is fairly pure or saturated rather than one with an abundance of gray in it. A heavily grayed-out purple or lavender can feel gloomy especially on overcast days.A console table is a versatile piece of furniture that can be useful in many rooms of the house. It's slim in profile and airy in design and can provide a small drawer for storage of personal items. In the bedroom a console table can pull double duty as a nightstand and desk or a nightstand and vanity thanks to the open space that allows you to place a stool ottoman or chair underneath. Console tables seen here frame a bed nicely when the same or similar style is placed on either side of the bed. Tip: If you aren't pairing matching tables be sure the other night table is at least the height of the bed and of a similar width as the console table.Night tables are pretty essential pieces of bedroom furniture. But many tend to be a bit utilitarian in terms of style and they can get cluttered with our necessities. To give your bedroom the royal treatment first declutter your nightstand. Remove excess paperwork and posessions leaving only lighting a book and perhaps a small vase of flowers. Next swap out your current nightstand for one with a luxury finish — mirror or shagreen is a great option. A subtler route is to choose a piece with reflective hardware such as crystal or brass. In this bedroom the mirrored table shiny lamp and gilded mirror create a regal look even against a plain white wall.Vintage charm. If you can't pass up a flea market or "junktique" shop without running in this look is for you. Collect what catches your eye and your heartstrings without worrying whether the it will fit perfectly — after all you can always paint it. Having one modern print in the mix whether on cushions or a re-covered chair is a great way to keep this look feeling fresh and current.Dresser or chest. Rather than restricting your night-table furniture to the small or low profile you might go bold with a relatively large piece of furniture like a dresser or chest of drawers. This can provide much-needed extra storage particularly in a narrow bedroom. The key with a larger piece is to create balance. When the bed is placed in the middle of the wall add another large piece of furniture to the other side; a second dresser or a desk typically will work. Be sure both pieces are similar in height and width to create a more symmetrical look. Adding lamps of the same height on either side of the bed can add to the harmonious effect when your night tables don't match. Tip: If you opt for two different lamps and they are not exactly the same height place one or two books beneath the shorter lamp to give it the extra height.Floating shelf. If your bedside space is challenging or if you prefer a minimalist style try a floating shelf as your night-table alternative. The designs of floating shelves today go beyond the simple white or wood rectangles we've come to know. Stylish shelves can be found in glossy hues and a variety of shapes and can also feature useful storage options. Shelves flanking the sides of the bed often appear built-in and look best when they are the same size and style. Look for a shelf wide or deep enough to hold a small bedside lamp and book and hang it at the same height as the top of your mattress. Tip: Attach the shelf to the wall with anchors and screws that can hold 40 pounds or at least the load that your shelf instructions recommend. Be sure that the combined weight of your bedside items is less than the shelf's maximum load.Savor and relax. Imagine doing a few gentle stretches or yoga poses before bed lighting a scented candle and sipping some chamomile tea while you write in your journal. There are no to-do lists or pinging phones vying for your attention. You can simply be. Imagine how easy it would be to gradually unwind release the tension of your day and ease into a restful deep restorative sleep in a space free of clutter and distractions. Once the busyness of the day is done make time to simply relax in your newly cleared space. Take action: Once your bedroom is clean and clutter-free pick and choose from the list below to enhance your space and get a better night's sleep: Use a linen spray or essential-oil diffuser with a relaxing scent like lavender or rose keep a small vase of fresh flowers on your nightstand do a few gentle stretches or yoga poses to help release the tensions of the day take a warm bath with essential oils before bed sip a cup of herbal tea and write in your journal gradually dim the lights in your bedroom an hour before bed ending with just a single candle before blowing it out and going to sleep.Some desks are just larger and wider versions of a night table. The flat surface of a desk can house a lamp books and other nighttime necessities. If you have enough space add a chair to create a dual-duty nightstand that also serves as a workspace. Tip: If your bed is placed in the middle of the wall and you add a desk on one side be sure to put another piece of furniture that's at least the height of the mattress on the other side. And use lamps of the same height — they don't need to be the same style — on both pieces of furniture. These things will prevent the room from looking too furniture-heavy on one side.Orange above. If you prefer to wake up with a happy jolt try a bold orange-gold color on the ceiling. An orange ceiling will intensify the blue of the skies outside as blue and orange are complementary colors. With such a strong color on the ceiling I'd go with light and warm neutrals for the walls and trim.

Jackson County Sheriff Steve Rand has identified a woman found dead Saturday at a boat launch on Crispell Lake in Liberty Township in Jackson County as Sandra Kaye Johnson, 63, of Addison.
The Jackson and Lenawee counties sheriffs' departments are both involved in the investigation and say Johnson's death was a homicide.
Deputies obtained enough information from family members to identify the victim, a news release from the Lenawee County Sheriff's Department said.
Identification using dental records also will be completed, the news release said.
Lenawee County Sheriff Jack Welsh said deputies are trying to figure out where Johnson died.
"She's from our county and right now we don't know, neither Jackson nor us, where she was murdered," Welsh said Tuesday afternoon.
The departments are not yet releasing information about the means by which Johnson was killed because it might hamper the investigation, Welsh said.

SISKIYOU COUNTY – Recently, a telephone con-artist fraudulently obtained $950 from a Siskiyou County resident, stated a press release issued by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO). An arrest has not been made.
This week, the SCSO received a report of a fraudulent phone scam in the Siskiyou County area. A SCSO deputy contacted the victim who reported he received a call from a male representing himself as a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent out of Sacramento. The caller stated that the victim was a person of interest in a narcotics investigation.
The phony DEA agent stated he was going to serve a search warrant on the victim's residence and had an active arrest warrant. Then, the con-artist stated the victim needed to send $950 through Western Union to another Western Union in Poway, Calif. in order to stop the warrant issuance and court fees.
The caller stated that if the money was sent immediately he would not come to the residence and the case could be settled out of court.
After the money was sent, the victim was asked to call the court in Sacramento and the arrest warrant would be removed. An investigation ensued and it was determined that this was not a legitimate DEA agent and the caller was a con-artist and thief, stated the release.
"This is a good opportunity to remind all residents to refrain from remitting payments of any kind to people you are unfamiliar with, especially those calling you on the phone," stated Sheriff Jon Lopey in the release. "Law enforcement personnel do not operate in this fashion and do not solicit money or funds over the phone. If in doubt of a caller's identity or purpose, always ask for a name and return phone number. Do not provide identifying information, credit card numbers, or other personal information until you verify the legitimacy of the transaction."
Call the SCSO's 24-hour Dispatch at 841-2900, or the local police department if residing in an incorporated city to verify any claims of a caller having a law enforcement affiliation, or if the call is suspicious or criminal in nature, the release suggests.
There are a variety of Internet and phone scams out there and if in doubt about an unusual inquiry, contact law enforcement so that they can investigate the situation. This is also the case for suspicious door-to-door solicitors as well.
"Remember that some scam artists use legitimate business fronts such as banks to entice you to provide information of a personal nature which could later be used to steal your identity or defraud you of your hard-earned money," the release warns. "Again, if in doubt, call your local law enforcement agency for assistance and support in these instances. If a caller already has your home address, it doesn't hurt to ask them to forward their organizational information or request via mail. If they are legitimate, they shouldn't mind if the transaction is handled via U.S. Mail in lieu of over the phone."
Reports of phone scams or questions should be directed to the SCSO Dispatch at 841-2900.

I bought these to compliment my Wolvhammer boots to keep the rain out of the lace area. Good fit and think they will do the trick. I haven't had them out in the rain yet. The only fault with them is they are not snug at the top. There is a strap to snug them up but not enough for me. If I was in snow up to my knees or in the rain I would want to tighten them up for there is no way to do that other than using some velcro straps of my own. That will work for me but something for the company to consider on their next production line. I would recommend these but with the awareness of the above issue.

I'm sure there are Democratic operatives all over the country who hope that the Republican Party engages in the sort of unself-reflective analysis that Colleen Hroncich engaged in in her Nov. 9 letter to the editor. She sees a fundamentally changed country, but she fails to see the real change.
She sees folks who, to use the insensible synthesis of Bill O'Reilly, want stuff, want to be taken care of. This restating of Mitt Romney's now-infamous "47 percent" comment merely shows how clueless and parochial some people are.
Some silly Republicans will try to discount the magnitude of Obama's victory, but a close look reveals some interesting math.
In my lifetime, George W. Bush (twice), Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon had a smaller margin of victory than Obama's 3.1 million in this election. Obama's margin measured in percent mirrors Bush's in 2004 (Obama's 2.6 percent to Bush's 2.46 percent). His electoral college majority is larger than John Kennedy's, Richard Nixon's (the first term), Jimmy Carter's, and Bush's (both terms).
Some deluded Republicans will point to the retention of the U.S. House of Representatives as some sort of victory, but that is illusory. Pointing to the House of Representatives, though cathartic, will be pointing to a symptom, not a solution (gerrymandered districts).
Our system is so broken, even with the job-approval rating for Congress sitting at record lows, 98 percent of incumbents are re-elected. Tellingly, even though Republicans hold a commanding 35-vote majority in the House, they were outpolled by Democrats nationally: Democrats, 48.8 percent, to Republicans, 48.47 percent.
Why did Romney and the Republicans lose? It sure wasn't because people wanted stuff. They wanted respect.
Romney and the Republicans managed to alienate large swaths of the electorate. Voter-suppression efforts in several states (including Pennsylvania), immigrant-bashing, trying to legislate morality, denying science (legitimate rape and climate-change), pandering to an angry Tea Party base in the spring and then tripping over himself to get closer to the center in the fall — all motivated people to get out and vote.
But before Democrats get too giddy, they need to recognize that their butts were saved by Republican extremism and incompetence. Large numbers of dissatisfied progressives and independents held their noses and voted for Obama and Democrats because the alternative was so scary. Some elected to vote for a third-party candidate.
Obama, in his second term, and the Democrats cannot take those voting blocs for granted. Those of us who would like to see an alternative to the corporate uniparty (take your pick: Democan or Republicrat) hope that both parties will see the changing topography of our electorate and respond to it.
We need a sensible voice for the 99 percent.

In response to the last post Stephanie said, "I find this kind of motivational cheese off-putting because it's great for those of us who have had the luck and ability to pursue and realize our dreams, but not so great for the people who did not. A lot of it is out of our control and I think the notion that people who don't realize their dreams simply did not believe in themselves enough is feel-good yuppie fluff that isn't true. Life is hard and some people do the right thing and still suffer.
"I've learned a lot from my mother, who has suffered many disappointments, lost a lot, and has many dreams that were unfulfilled. She works a job she doesn't like and that holds no meaning for her, but for many reasons has no options but to continue. But she has grown in wisdom throughout her life and not always getting what she wants or realizing her dreams is part of what has made her wise. The beauty of Zen: we are liberated from 'what we want' and no longer have to be yoked to its tyranny."
Good points. I'm sorry the post came off a bit like one of those cheezy "reach for your dreams" things. But it wasn't so much about going for your dreams as about not letting others define for you what you should be. It sounds like Stephanie's mom has managed to avoid letting others define who she should be. Good. And by the way, I never said anything like, "people who don't realize their dreams simply did not believe in themselves enough." Just FYI.
It's been amazing to me to see that even getting exactly what you want is never really getting exactly what you want. Like Johnny Ramone said, "Being a rock and roll guitar player is a great job. But in the end, it's still a job and I still hate it." Disappointments come from both not realizing your dreams and from realizing them. Disappointment may have very little to do with either. I've gotten exactly what I wanted many times and been deeply disappointed.
Yet, on the other hand, there is something to be said for the old "reach for your dreams" nonsense. I think we all know innately what the universe wants us to do. And yet we are easily deterred by society that has its own often deeply confused and wrong-headed demands. Those dreams you have may or may not be narcissistic desire for grandeur. They may, instead, come from your connection with the whole of society and the whole of reality and a clear vision of what it is you need to do in the world. You may be sensing what society actually wants rather than what it thinks it wants.
In that sense of it, letting others convince you that you can't do those things does as much of a disservice to them as it does to you. Going for your dreams may be the best thing you can do not just for you, but for everyone.
Still, what you really want may be, in fact, to be a garbageman and not a movie star. There is dignity and worthiness in any occupation or station in life. It's society's confusion that tells you othewise, tells you that what you have now is unworthy. Disappointment may be the difference between what you actually want and what you think you want.
I'd say the beauty of Zen is to be liberated from what we think we want and to find out what we actually want.
Oh and good luck, Philbob! Maybe this blog will replace OK Cupid!
Now onto some questions from my bulging ... uh ... mailbox. That's it. Mailbox!
I'm a dad of two young ones, 2.5 and 0.5 years old to be exact. I'm finally getting around to reading Zen Dipped in Karma and in it you have an aside where you mention that from our childhood we've had this idea of self drilled into us by our parents, and that it is not our parents fault but that we need to work through zazen to untangle all of this. However, we also need to teach our kids how to "play the game" of society that everyone buys into so they can be successful as they travel through it. I'm coming to accept the world as contradiction but it is hard to instill this idea of contradiction into kids. It is hard enough to instill the idea of eating with utensils (however I have instilled a deep love of The Clash and John Lee Hooker into my daughter, And Bad Brains. She loves Bad Brains.) So how do you think this would be done? I feel that I have this great opportunity to perhaps point them in a direction where they will already be that much farther along when they do get older.
Ho boy. I have no children (that I know of!*) so I am supremely unqualified to give parenting advice. But here are my thoughts on the matter anyway.
It is absolutely necessary for children to be raised with an understanding of how most people understand the world. They can't survive without that. And I understand that even managing that much is a huge amount of work for any parent. You mentioned eating with utensils and that's just a small part of teaching children how the greater society works and how to interact with it.
As far as the other stuff goes, I think you demonstrate more than teach. Kids will pick up on the fact that you don't really buy into society's bullshit without being told. And they're being conditioned by more than just you, anyway. So you don't have much hope if you try to fight all of society by yourself. No matter how hard people try to be the one sole influence on a kid's life it never really works.
I've been a horn-ball since I was a kid, and sexual tension keeps coming up as a distraction in all kinds of situations. How do I keep it in check? Sex has some kind of weird truth to it that comes in and smacks me on the face when I think I'm all balanced. The only sensible way I've come up with to incorporate it into my practice is to think of everything as sex.
In "Sit Down and Shut Up" you talk about how a friend of yours was looking at a hot girl and said she was out of his league. Your perspective was that just by looking at her she has already given something to you. When I apply that sort of gratitude to actual sex it actually gets a lot better. Any thoughts on how that fits in with zazen? By the way, when I do zazen at night and I get sleepy, sometimes sexual thoughts come in and wake me up and I let them, and sometimes if I don't hold onto them they seem to help the zazen.
Oh lord. I do know what you mean. I've often felt like the only guy in the zendo with a sex drive. I know now this is not true. And I suspected it even way back when.
When I started out I was almost always the youngest guy in the room at any Zen place. Usually by at least 10 years, most often more. This tended to accentuate my isolation in the sense of feeling like the only guy who ever got horny. Plus there's an unhealthy pretentiousness that develops in Zen places. It's not cool to admit you have a sex drive, so everyone pretends they don't.
But sexual thoughts are just one category of stuff that comes up. Like other thoughts they'll pass if you don't feed them. But it's often really hard to resist. Sometimes zazen brings up deeper stuff. And the sex fantasies that can be released can be much hotter than the ones you'd consciously create.
Thoughts don't really need to be kept in check. Actions certainly do. Thoughts can be very free. You can't control what comes up. The best you can do is learn to let it go.
I like the idea of thinking of everything as sex. For lots of people, sex is the one area of life in which they're truly participating 100% without holding anything back. Learning to approach the whole of life the way we approach sex might have some real value.
* Actually I've been very careful throughout my sex life, so definitely I have no children.

It truly is free to look for over million near by personals for sex in Arncliffe
There have been extremely couple of women with my appears and character in my city, so I suppose I stuffed a distinct segment with out truly attempting. The very fact I used to be great at my occupation was just icing around the cake for my customers. Phrase of me and my skills gradually received about city, and shortly I'd bookings for additional than four times per week. So when some man produced an appointment to satisfy me in a motel on the Thursday evening, it appeared like company as typical. Oh, how incorrect I used to be.

According to the directions he'd still left me, I checked in to the space and waited for him. I touched up my make-up within the mirror, set up my hair, performed with my telephone and usually just killed time whilst awaiting my appointment to reach. About twenty minutes handed, and that i lastly listened to somebody fumbling using the card important prior to they managed to open up up the doorway. I placed on my very best alluring smile and stood within the center from the space, prepared to greet my latest consumer. Within the times that adopted, I critically regarded as whether or not murdering him could be a feasible choice. I checked out my father, sitting down around the lounge. He was gruff, strong and experienced extremely powerful fingers from operating as being a mechanic for your previous thirty many years. The possibilities of the small woman like me overpowering him had been fairly non-existent. Without any other option, I swallowed my satisfaction and gave into my father's perverse blackmail needs.

I know I often say that a cake is easy to make, but this one really could not be simpler. The recipe caught my attention because of its few ingredients and the inclusion of golden syrup – I think this is one of my favourite ingredients as it just makes everything delicious!
The CCB (Caked Crusader's Brother) described this cake perfectly. It tastes like when you're lucky enough to have some leftover steamed golden syrup pudding and have it cold the next day – all the sugar and syrup flavour has intensified coupled with a wonderfully moist texture.
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature and chopped
220g dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon golden syrup
225g self raising flour
125ml milk (whole or semi skimmed)
Optional: icing sugar, to dust on the cake before serving
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a 20cm springform cake tin.
- Place all the ingredients in your mixing bowl and mix until well combined and smooth (I advise using an electric mixer, if you do it manually your arm might fall off!). The batter should be an even dark brown colour.
- Spoon mixture into tin and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Mine took 1 hour.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack and leaving to cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar before serving.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.
