When I'm work-weary, I stand in the hall where my mother displays the diplomas and certificates she has earned during a lifetime, and I quickly regain perspective and gratitude.
That wall and its sepia-toned education degree from Matanzas' teachers college and the early-exile certificates from The English Center in downtown Miami were an inspiration when I was away at college tackling tall challenges.
They still ground me, move me, but these days I also laugh.
Life has mellowed my mother, and each of those documents comes with a terrific story told Mami-style — long, anecdotal, with a historical perspective and something I can only describe as the flair for the telenovela pathos she has acquired through the years.
My mother is the storyteller of the family and everything I enjoy — my newspaper career and book-writing — I owe to her innate sense of drama.
Mami doesn't just tell stories. She assaults you with them.
"I have to tell you this family secret," she blurted out during an interminable rush-hour drive to suburbia from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
Her best story, but not exactly rush-hour material, and there I was a captive audience.
Worse yet, I can't repeat the story. She swore me to secrecy (isn't that what always happens in telenovelas?).
I can say this: Martyrs and femme fatales are her favorite protagonists.
She had older brothers who supported her education dreams, but quashed her desire to become a singer. Still, she once cajoled her way to the stage and sang at Matanzas' famed Teatro Sauto.
One song, one time, but the telling of that story has given her a lifetime of joy.
By now, I've figured out that Mami uses her stories to teach. She's adorably polite, and doesn't call us, her children and grandchildren, on our shortcomings to our face. Those she mumbles to herself as she walks away.
Thankfully, Jeffrey Loria and her once beloved Marlins have done us a favor by becoming the No. 1 cause of her disappointment.. Whew.
"Those Marlins," she pronounced last year after their first anemic game in the new ballpark, "need to start drinking some Ensure."
This year she's so disgusted she doesn't even want to talk about them. She mumbles at the television, flip-flopping channels between Marlins games and her favorite telenovela starring a sacrificing mother whose ungrateful sons make her cry every episode.
I never want to be on the list of people she mumbles against, but I often am. I want her to last forever, so I've become the undesirable enforcer of doctors' orders and safety practices.
Despite all the mothers in the family — including my daughters, who have made her twice a great-grandmother — our Mother's Day is all hers.
My middle daughter will take her to church and to Vicky Bakery for croquetas and pastelitos. My oldest daughter will bake her cupcakes. My brother will barbecue ribs.
Next week, I'll be expected to sit in silence as she tells a tall tale to the doctor about her eating habits.
Long as she's around, there's no doubt who wears the crown.

Best ResultsFor Best Results your should always use some sort of styling product in your hair. They are made so that they help protect against heat damage. After you wash your hair you should always blow dry it straight (if its not straight already then comb it out. when straightening take sections and run a comb through your hair as you are pulling the straightener through rite after the comb. dont pull the straightener through extremely fast .. use a steady pace and you should get great results.Reply to this post

What Width?Ok, here is my advice for when choosing what size of straightener to get, just to save you some trouble, although it is pretty simple. If you have really curly hair and/or coarse hair, I would go ahead and get the wider plates because they save lots of time. However, otherwise I would get the smaller plate width. Personally, I havent noticed that the length of your hair plays a big difference, but Im not sure.Reply to this post

Union Chair: Candidate profiles
The Yorker looks at the candidates for Union Chair in this year's YUSU elections.
Josh Allen
Currently a member of the Union Democracy Committee, chair of Fishergate Planning Panel, and chairing the YUSU 'Students in the Communities' Representation Working Group as well as standing as a candidate in York local elections last May, second year history student Josh Allen believes he has the experience to fulfil the role well.
Allen told The Yorker his main policies are empowerment of students by making clear the workings of the Union and the university, and improving communication amongst officers as well as to ordinary members.
He also wants to engage with the student body to promote democracy at all levels and to establish less-official forums such as Campaign Networks.
Allen feels he stands out from the crowd not only because of his "distinctive cap" but also due to his "experience in developing representation and running elections", "very good working knowledge of YUSU constitution and bylaws" and "experience at resolving conflict and chairing heated meetings".
Interesting fact about Josh: "I fully completed Pokémon Silver. Definitely proudest achievement to date."
Find out more about this candidate: Manifesto | Facebook | URY Interview | YSTV
Nick Hall
Second year Archaeology student Nick Hall hopes to crown his previous JCRC and union activities by becoming Union Chair.
Chairman of the Darts Society Hall is currently a member on both the Democracy and Societies Committees and has served as Vanbrugh Equipment Rep and Male Welfare Rep.
Hall's key policies include making democracy attractive to students, making the union more open and accountable, publicising union committees and campaign networks, and enforcing the keeping of minutes for all union members to access.
He added that he wishes to use campus and social media to increase attendance at assemblies, as well as introduce a fortnightly blog about officers' actions in an attempt to hold them to account, and wants to set up an annual review of bylaws.
"I think that having the sheer amount of experience I have from the different things I've done really sets me apart from the other candidates," said Hall.
Interesting fact about Nick: "When I was a young lad I played junior county level crown green bowls for greater Manchester."

Mark Taylor
Second year Archaeology student Mark Taylor has been a course representative for two years, Arts & Humanities Faculty Co-ordinator and has sat on the Validation Panel for the approval of new masters courses.
He feels this experience has given him "a unique approach to the role, developed through a wealth of directly applicable experience" and said that he is "approachable in a one-to-one context as well as strong in larger assemblies".
He addedd: "Union Chair is first and foremost in a facilitating role, therefore rather than policies the Chair should hold a set of ethics and principles which they should be responsible for."
Taylor wants to provide a structured and focused platform for discussion, leading to effective debate and appropriate action, hopes to increase awareness and participation in the democratic process of YUSU, not only from the officers but the whole student body, and ensure that officers are held accountable, blocking misconduct, and encouraging good practice.
Interesting fact about Mark: "I've been to four different countries volunteering with the visually impaired."

To say I'm obsessed with The Hunger Games and excited for the movie is an understatement. EW.com's Hunger Games Central is awesome! I am absolutely behind all their casting for the movie, with the huge exception of Peeta and maybe President Snow.
The beloved detective, Sherlock Holmes has just landed in the 21st century. The BBC has created an updated version of the classic duo Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson which debuts in America at the end of the month. The new Sherlock prefers texting and Watson runs a blog. Definitely worth a watch based on the trailer.
Check out the trailer for the show and full article here at Galley Cat! You can watch the episodes online at PBS.org for free between Oct. 25th and Dec. 7th.
P.S. My favorite line from the trailer, "So you'd risk your life to prove you're clever?" Why, yes, yes I would.
Love Mad Men? Then you might love the books they have read.

25 notes &
by Dave McLaughlin, CEO & Cofounder of Vsnap
You can see Matt Lauzon's awesome call to action in the tweet above. What a great idea — a welcome "basket" from the startup community for people starting companies here or people rejoining the community.
In the interest of action, here's my thought on how Vsnap can help with this right away. Three points…
So … for the Startup Welcome … let's not overthink this. Let's just find 10 members of the local community who want to be part of the welcome wagon. When notified, they will record a welcome message to that new company, and they'll have standard attachments that they offer. Like, one person can be responsible for attaching the best place to get a margarita, someone else can share three tips on where to park. And so on. Simple, quirky stuff that helps newcomers find their way. And I imagine there's a company or two that would want to attach a discount. That's cool too.
What do you think? Who's in?
Matt - thanks for the call to action!! Does this fit your goals?

Posted by debbee1996 (U14572513) on Monday, 2nd August 2010
I have been mild/moderately deaf from birth. I had had analogue hearing aids for 35yrs before I was forced to change.
I went into my local department to get my BE 36s repaired which they said they would do but had I considered digital to which I said no and that I was quite happy with the ones I had. The audiologist persuaded me to stay and chat about pros of digitals while my analogues were repaired. I even tried a pair on whilst waiting. I told her thankyou but no thankyou and said I would now go and get my repaired ones. The audiologist said she would get them for me.
She returned to say that mine had been put in a drawer and they could not find them. I was shocked and very upset but all the audiologist could say was that I would have to change eventually so why not today.
I have repeatedly been back over the last 3yrs pleading for my analogues but this has fallen on deaf ears. I have become very frustrated ,sad, aggressive - a whole range of emotions.
Since taking my analogues from me , they have stripped me of a reasonable quality of life, taken my self confidence and self esteem as I cannot hear everything. Noises are dull, I have given up listening to music which I used to love and since having my second baby can not hear him cry when he is in another room, whereas with my first child born 5yrs ago I could.
I think clumping all deaf people into one bracket ie one size fits all has been very wrong. With something as important as hearing we should have had a choice of analogue or digital.
I want to be able to hear and enjoy my life again to the full not be made aware of my disability every minute of the day due to these dreadfully inadequate hearing devices.

Posted by AndyfromCornwall (U14342750) on Monday, 2nd August 2010
That's typical of the sort of dirty trick that I absolutely hate. Obviously they wanted to take your aids and change them for digital and this is an underhand way of doing it.
You have entrusted them with your aids (and they are YOUR aids because they have been prescribed for you) and instead of being straight about it they have made a feeble excuse that they "can't find them". This is just dishonest and irresponsible behaviour.
Digital aids can be reprogrammed to mimic any sound quality that is required, so they can be programmed to sound like analogue aids, according to what we have been told. Some people still don't get on with them even then.
I think you should make a complaint to the Hospital Trust that the ENT Dept are not working to the required standard, they obviously have a problem if they can't manage a digital changeover in a reasonable way!

Posted by bluesky (U14169700) on Monday, 2nd August 2010
I think you will find that most people have a hard time making the transition to digital aids. Digital can be programmed to mimic analogue ones, but audiologists don't like to do this. They will focus on speech and invariably add compression which in turn make everything else sound really weird.
With profound hearing loss, digital aids are not sufficient. The next step is to make that leap of faith into the bionic era...and that's what I'm doing!
Link to this forum: Dreadful Digital Hearing Aids
Posted by AndyfromCornwall (U14342750) on Tuesday, 3rd August 2010
We have had perhaps half a dozen people in here who say that they absolutely can't get along with digital hearing aids. There is just something about the sound quality that people find impossible to adapt to.
So obviously there are a number of people with a problem as I am sure we are only a small sample in here.
We did have a very nice email from an audiologist quite some time ago explaining that digitals CAN be set up to mimic analogues but the operators are not always trained in doing it.
Some audiologists have considerable skill in setting up digis and others don't. That I think is a situation that needs addressing. The software is prohibitively expensive, something like £10,000 I am told so a spot of DIY is probably not on the cards!
I am sure that there are still analogue hearing aids out there. What happens to the old NHS ones is ... they are recycled to underdeveloped countries to help deaf people there. So it might be possible to get ones hands on them somehow.
I am sure that in the UK there are plenty that have been left in drawers and probably not even used. It should be possible to get hold of some analogues one way or another if people are really stuck.

Posted by Jue (U14575732) on Wednesday, 4th August 2010
Oh you poor thing - I can strongly empathise with you. I'm having terrible problems getting digitals to work for me too. They are no way any better than the good old analogues. Even if they are put into analogue mode. Yes I agree they are useless for music and try singing with them - terrible. I have tried so many super power ones and I just want another pair of Phonak Superfronts pp-c-2-ds and have tried finding a pair all over the world!!
The only way forward is to try and form a campaign on this and to see if we could persuade one of the companies to make analogue again as I feel that technology for me has gone backwards. Each time I've had new hearing aids it's been progress now it's going backwards.
Perhaps putting this into the media might help - i don't know. If anyone wants to help or have anything they may be able to help with I am happy for you to contact me through my e-mail address as this affects our lives and our jobs. if I don't get any new analogues and these go I'm out of a job and a life! So please do feel free to contact me on [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator].

Thankyou for your positive message. I understand about the old ones going abroad to help people in less developed countries.
I have been back lots of times and have met with great resistance from the audiologists to actually programme them to analogue. If you know of any way that will get them to carry out ,what I have been led to believe, is a fairly easy transition from digital to analogue please let me know.

I appreciate technology is definitely not a step forwards. Just because new technology becomes available ,it doesnot necessarily mean it is better.
I just wish we had been given a choice as this really has impacted on my life and others lives in a devastating way.
If any one out there with any influence happens to be reading these messages please do something to bring back the old analogue technology and restore our quality of life.

Thanks for the comments. The picture is gradually becoming clearer that some people just can't hear with digital aids. On the other hand some people think they are the greatest.
I have to admit I have been disappointed with them but my hearing is now so bad that there's hardly anything left! So I'm having a CI!
If you look in the old threads you'll find a Deaf Musicians thread. Feel free to comment.
The people with the influence are you, the users. We've said this before many times ... if you can't hear properly with the aids then keep going back until you can.
The only judge of whether you can hear properly is YOU!
So if you are given an aid of any kind and your hearing is now worse than it was then that's not good enough. These people are highly trained professionals as they never stop telling us. But it's a double edged sword for them because if they don't do the job to the proper standards we can complain. It's the ONLY way that we* have yet found to make sure that you end up with the right hearing aid for you.
Boring though it may be the only way we know to get a result is to keep going back and saying "I can't hear properly, it's worse than it was before".
* we = us lot in here,along with sundry visitors and odd bods who have commented.

I appreciate technology is definitely not a step forwards. Just because new technology becomes available ,it doesnot necessarily mean it is better.
This is a known phenomenon. People tend to reject old technology for new in the belief that new is always better. So the technology tends to lead the way society works and operates rather than people regarding the technology as a tool. This is called Technological Determinism. The technology >shapes< the behaviour instead of the behaviour being independent of the particular method.
An example of this is Twitter. MM is quite right to rail against it because it's purely technological determinism. We don't need it and it is changing the way people live, not always for the better.
And the telco's get very very riiiiiich!.

The thing is Twitter is not really replacing old technology with new--it is something the like of which we haven't had before, something which allows everyone to natter in front of the whole world. Personally I just don't have time for it, and I prefer my information to be in a slightly more packaged format for the sake of some personal efficiency.

I think it replaces the gossip in the queue at the fishmongers. It's online entertainment really but people are finding new uses all the time.
I wonder if it would be possible to Twitter people asking for unwanted analogue hearing aids to be donated. Get them to clear out the drawers.

It is so sad and makes me very angry to see people suffering like this. My husband is in the same situation. The digital hearing aid he has been issued with is horrible. I've seen so many forums with people saying the same things. No one is listening to the people who need analogue aids. I have just started a facebook group, I think it's important to get everyone together on this issue and see what we can do about it. www.facebook.com/gro...

When I changed to digital aids, I was in floods of tears at the sound quality, but I made a note of what was wrong with it and when I went back I explained what sorts of sounds were too loud, what were too quiet etc., and my aids were reprogrammed completely and I couldn't believe the difference. So if you're stuck with digital aids, at least insist that they alter the balance of sound to suit your preferences.

in reply to this posting, I feel as if I am not alone as I too have suffered with a similar situation.
I was born deaf and was brought up in a school for the deaf. Back in those days I used to have to have a walkman like attachment for hearing and due to feeling silly and out of place i stopped wearing it in my late teens and early twenties. To cut a very long story short I ended up wearing the analogue hearing aid in my late twenties early thirties. My speech came on so much better as I could hear myself speak and for the first time in my life I actually felt closer to society. I could hold good conversations, hear my kids calling me etc.
In 2009 I had my particular hearing aid for about 8 years or so when it began to play up, I took this hearing aid to the NHS for repair. They told me that there was a new hearing aid out that was better quality and they would like me to try it. I gave it ago but when I returned and said that I didn't get on with it and that I couldn't hear properly anymore, they told me that they had lost the anoalogue and couldn't find it. then I was horrified when they said that they didn't make them anymore.
for the last few years I have suffered with a lower form of life in comparison to how I could hear before. I miss out on conversations with my family, I had to rely on my old skills of lip reading but that doesn't help me if my grandson is in the other room crying and I cant hear him. I also used to use the phone and ring my son but now I cant use the phone anymore. I feel that my standard of living has been taken away from me.
I am ready for fighting to bring back analogue hearing aids, they only don't make them as they cost too much money!! I am looking into this very seriously, if anybody is interested in joining me or just simply giving their testimonies so I can use them then please send to my email address.
thanks very much

Hi, I am still wearing an analogue hearing aid BE38. I have using analogue since I were 18 months old.
I have avoided having a digtial hearing aid, a few friends who are hard of hearing themselves totally hate Digtial Hearing aids in passion. I bet my local audiology dept are annoy with me, as I do not want a Digtial Hearing Aids and I have tried using one of my friend's Digtial hearing aid and cannot get on with them at all.
After reading your messages on here, I am dreading when my Analogue Hearing Aid goes and without a doubt I will have to wear an Digital Hearing Aid.
Surely NHS must realise by now that Ditgial Hearing Aids aren't for everyone and we should give a choice to chose Ditgial or Analogue Aids. Will they ever bring back the Analogue Hearing Aids back?

WSFA 12 News is excited to announce the hire of a new weekend sports anchor/reporter. Stephen Gunter joined the WSFA family and made his first on-air appearance Thursday evening with a live report from Montgomery's Cramton Bowl.
Gunter comes to WSFA 12 News from sister station WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi where he had worked since 2010. Prior to WLBT, Gunter worked as a weekend sports anchor in Panama City, Florida.
Gunter is an Alabama native. He grew up just outside Andalusia in Covington County. He attended Troy University and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism with a concentration in Sports Information in 2007.
Taking over where anchor/reporter Derek Steyer left off after 14 years, Gunter says he's excited to be home. Steyer took a position with a TV station in Ohio so he could be closer to family.
While it wasn't possible to make Stephen's name rhyme with "Wiregrass", which was a popular addition for Steyer's "Steyergrass" segments, Stephen will have his own segment and it will be called "The Gunter Annex".
The name is an homage of sorts to Montgomery's Gunter Annex military facility where the call letters W-S-F-A first got their start in the 1930s when it signed on as the state's fourth radio station.

Step It Up: Whimsical Ways to Decorate Your Staircase
Unfortunately, we don't have any stairs in our house, or I'd be all over creating some kind of unique, beautiful passageway. We've seen some ideas for decorating your stairs before, but these makeovers work great for kids and adults alike. If you have a stairway that accesses a kids' area, or if you just want to make your main staircase a bit more whimsical, here's some inspiration.
1. Chalkboard Stairs (seen on Houston Lifestyles). Painting the face of each step with chalkboard paint makes your stairs a place for artwork that can be changed as often as you choose. Or, erase them all for a clean look.
2. Rainbow Stairs (DOS architects via Planet Deco). Go all out with color and paint a traditional rainbow, or choose a color palette that suits your home.
3. Book Spine Stairs (Book Mania). This staircase leads to the reading room at the St. Louis Children's Museum, called The Magic House. It's a great idea for customizing a stairway with favorite kids' literature.
4. XOXO Stairs (DIY Network). A tutorial over at the DIY Network will show you how to achieve this look; choose any graphic in any style that you want, but we love the hugs and kisses theme.
5. Text Stairs (Village Vine Press). Choose text that has meaning for your family; it could be an inspirational quote, a list of character traits you value, or song lyrics. Paint them on or create or buy decals. The ones seen here are available through Etsy shop Village Vine Press for $35.
6. Numbered Stairs (Farmhouse 38). You could number your stairs in lots of ways, with house numbers, stencils, even painted wooden craft letters.
7. License Plate Stairs (Cherished Vintage). You could attach lots of different objects to the face of stairs; choose something that has meaning for you. This family used old license plates, including a personalized one that belonged to the husband's late grandfather.
Have you outfitted your stairs with any unusual decor, especially geared to involve the kids? Let us know in the comments!

So much fun. Love the book spines!
(It's easy enough to figure out, but just a heads up that the numbering of the photos is off.)
I'm going to have to give them all a pass. They just look so contrived.
Yeah Magic House! Those stairs do lead to a reading room, but it's dressed up as a play library. Kids can play librarian, checking out books, reshelving them, working on a computer catalog, etc. They love it. So yeah, a bit contrived, but definitely works for that space.
My favorite stairs were decorated with Mexican tiles. Each riser had a row of the same tiles, but all of the risers were different.
The horse painting in the first one is the best thing of any of them. 2nd, the ferris wheel. I could live with the #'s one and maybe the bookspines with some more adult titles.
Clairepocalypse's Mexican tile idea sounds appealing. I'd go with that!
Of the examples shown here, I prefer the rainbow stairs for the execution, though the look seems to be out of kilter with the formality of the rest of the house. The text examples seem overly earnest, almost nagging people to never relax. I'm particularly struck by the fact that the first thing the "In this house" people needed to say was "We are real." What does that imply about what they think is going on in all the other houses?
Thanks Gwendolyn, I fixed it! :-)
I really love text decals on stairs. We have highly-imperfect winding stairs that need some work in our 100 year old home (some of the risers are damaged, not in an unsafe way just in an imperfect way), so as a short term solution we gave the risers and baseboards a fresh coat of paint and added a quote to descend down the part of the winding stair that you see from the living room. "A house is built with boards and beams, a home is built with love and dreams." I love it because (a) its an inexpensive way to make me notice the character, rather than the imperfection, (b) the quote itself makes me smile, and (c) its completely temporary-- if I get tired of it, I'll just take it off. We get compliments on it ALL the time.
This is an adorable addition to any home. I really love any decorating that keeps the kids in mind, since it makes the space fun for the adults to decorate and for the children to enjoy. Well done.

Belen's Farewell
House Call
Name: Belen
Location: Cologne, Germany
I put lots of love in decorating and trying to make our home cozy and comfortable. We are soon moving to another city so I think this is also a way to say good bye to this place where we have been very happy! My Home is surrounded by green in the summer and snow in the winter. I love the garden where I could learn a lot about plants, blooms, and trees — just by doing! We have a little (tiny!) kitchen, but it is large enough for the two of us and also for several celebrations we had with family and friends.
This home also needs Therapy — I am not very happy with the Bedroom. I still haven't found a proper solution for the headboard. I got lots of inspiration on this blog but I can't still decide what would be nice for my bedroom. Any suggestions?
Thanks Belen!

love the natural light, and everything else!
Nice & bright living room overlooking the garden - I like!
But a "Keep Calm" poster in Germany?!?
How's that for irony!
really bepsf, was that necessary?
Belen, your home is simply lovely. i'm sure it will not be easy to leave it for your new place, but your design skills are MAD and i look forward to seeing you new place on this blog. best to you!
Very nice.
Just lovely...must be hard to leave it.
@taxidriver --
Do you really not know the connection between the Keep Calm poster's originally intended use in Britain during WWII and Germany?
Read the history here, and perhaps you'll appreciate the irony too:
I love your home. I must be really hard to leave this place.
Looks lovely and comfortable.
I think taxidriver knows about the history of the poster. I have to agree with her that besf comment is quite stupid; might as well call her a national socialist because she's from Germany...
Oh brother, you sure are sure reading alot into my comment....
...I thought the irony of the juxtaposition was funny - Not offensive and certainly not a statement on anyone's politics/agenda/whatever.
Now this is a lovely example of how to do neutrals without being boring. I love the natural light. It looks very calming and relaxing and homey but still interesting and stylish. Nicely done!
What a lovely home you made! Your furnishings and accessories are perfect. The natural light is definitely an asset you have utilized well.
Will you be taking the kitchen with you?
I hope that your next location is as good--or better! Either way, I'm sure that your sense of style will carry you through.
Simply Stunning, Belen!
I love the light! And I think your kitchen is adorable.
I love the space, light and furnishings.
And bepsf, isn't it funny how folks who know nothing about the history love to chime in and attack because they only think you're being offensive or mean because that's what they would be doing had they said the comment. Just tell them to shutup.
I grew up in Cologne in the 1960's--an American expat with a dad opera conductor and a mom journalist. Thanks, Belen, for the house call! This post makes me really homesick (although, wow--global warming! We rarely had snow in winter, some 40 years ago).
What does not make me homesick are some of the comments about the Keep Calm poster. @bepsf is right. It's ironic. I'm pretty sure Belen knows this. And, given what I learned from my many, many German friends growing up, I'm pretty sure she's (sorry, Belen, if you're not a she) not offended by bepsf's comment. Cologne was one of the German cities most heavily damaged by Allied bombs in the war. It's a miracle the famous cathedral is still standing. I remember, growing up, walking past bombed-out building after bombed-out building--still waiting to be reconstructed or razed and the space allowed to become something else. This was a normal part of life in Germany at that time--and believe me when I tell you that there is no one in Germany then, or now, who would not understand the irony in the Keep Calm poster.
@Keisha Kornbread is right too. Thanks for that insightful comment.
And sometimes a chair is just a chair. Maybe Belen just likes the graphic and the sentiment?
Just as a thought--could we get back to talking about apartment and home therapy? (I realize that's completely oxymoronic given this rant....)
Irony is a quality perceived by the observer, whether intended or unintended by the creator/designer/architect/writer/poet et al.
See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/irony
definition 6.
bepsf is right. It is a particularly good example of irony. Well observed, bepsf, as usual.
If we want to raise our blood pressure discussing politics, there are plenty of political blogs... this is my therapy -- as in "Apartment Therapy"! Let's actually keep calm everybody, OK?
The apartment is lovely because it does not look decorated, just well put together, comfortable and welcoming -- dare I say calming? (No - I should not!) The tall windows out to the garden with plant covered walls are wonderful -- there's no need to cover the windows so light can come in and there is still a sense of privacy. The kitchen is more than adequate by city standards -- and has the luxury of a big window with what appears to be a little herb garden. Well done!
I hope your new place is just as comfy.
i love tans and beiges and think this is so calming and then you move into some great reds in the kitchen..love it all!
Alas, how sad it is to leave such a lovely place that you called home. But the good news is that with you will travel your great furniture and items. Good luck!

A drainage system like the WaterGuard system can do an excellent job of keeping your basement dry. But there's still a potential wet area if your basement has a concrete stair leading to an exterior bulkhead door. Water can flow down the exterior stairway and find its way onto your basement floor. The way to overcome this problem is by spanning the base of the stairway with Trench Drain drainage channel.
The distinctive grate that covers Trench Drain drainage channel tells you exactly how it works. This innovative drain is installed flush with a concrete floor; you can walk right over it. But the grated top will capture surface water before it can get where it doesn't belong. Trench Drain interlocks perfectly with WaterGuard drainage channel, but it can also be used with other drainage pipe.
Use TrenchDrain to prevent water intrusion in these locations:
TrenchLock + TrenchDrain. Simple ball valves in the TrenchLock strip allow water to drain, but block radon gas from entering your basement.
Trench Drain drainage channel is designed to work perfectly with the patented WaterGuard drainage system. However, the open grate design of Trench Drain can allow hazardous radon gas to enter the basement if the house is exposed to high levels of radon gas. In a house where a radon mitigation system has been installed to lower radon exposure levels, we recommend combining our TrenchLock air lock drains with the Trench Drain channel.
Made from high-strength plastic, TrenchLock strips are designed to fit in Trench Drain channel, directly below the removable grate. Cup-shaped recesses are located every 6 inches along TrenchLock strips, and each recess holds a plastic ball that covers a hole. When the drain does not need to handle water, the ball sits in the hole, preventing vapors and gases from exiting the drain. But when water enters the drain, the balls float, allowing water to drain through the holes and into the drainage channel.
TrenchLock should be combined with Trench Drain wherever it's important to reduce radon exposure levels.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ESanchez Can't get enough My daughter who is 10 absolutly love these shoes. We bought her all white as part of her school uniform. They wore out and she wanted the same shoe. Went to 4 different stores and none had her size and we were told they couldn't be ordered. Well thank god for adidas on-line I was able to order them. We are now looking at a pair of white and pink for her birhtday. Thank you adidas for the great shoe. March 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ty2K Best Shoes ever. Well my shoe story starts while going on leave from Iraq in 2004. I waited in Kuwait and wanted a set of civilian clothes. So my choices at the PX(post exchange) were limited. So I bought a whole Adidas outfit shirt , shorts, and this pair of white shoes. I loved the shoes and the shorts still have both and wear regularly. My feet are flat so I got a size 14 one size bigger then other shoes but it seems the more years I own them the better they get I just switch out the laces and keep them scrubbed with some bleach and water. They seem to last forever; the best darn shoes hands down. In fact I just went for a six mile walk three days ago in them and my feet felt great after my walk. I highly recommend them my next pair will be black and white but who know when that will be these ones have not been worn out yet lol. August 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Fester The Classic Tennis Shoe Every person in my family has a pair of these shoes. They are the most durable shoe I have ever come across. They stay comfortable for casual wear for well over a year. Cons: They make your feet sweat, fit a little snug in the mid foot area, and aren't good for all activities. January 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 Size is too big The difference between a size 3 and a 3 1/2 Is way too big. It's like going up 2 sizes April 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 GREAT SNEAKER! I am a sucker for all white sneakers, and these are AWESOME!!! :) September 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LeshiVegas Love them! I have been buying these for my daughter for years! She isn't exactly gentle with her shoes and these really hold up well, they are very sturdy and well made. I like that they go with her outfits year round. It's hard to find an all white tennis shoe that doesn't have velcro or what not that makes it look like she's a little girl. I like them, she likes them...we are happy with them all around!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dooner Tenny Runners Love my Shell Toes. Great Service. September 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Andriea I love the Superstars. I will love to purchase every color. But nothings beats the classic white. September 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ms. Akilah Best shoe ever made I would say that Adidas shell toes are the best shoes ever made. Adidas is the only brand I wear because of the style, the true fit and they are also the most comfortable shoes to wear. I love all Adidas shoes and would recommend everyone to start wearing them. February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lebe Comfort I love how the shoe fits and how comfortable they are. And they look great with anything. These sneaker's hold up great. I had a pair of these sneaker's for a couple of years and they haven't fell apart. February 28, 2013

Two years ago Abigail Vastalle's body's was found. It was claimed to be a murder, a murder that know one can explain. Over time life went back to normal for her family, for her friends, for the whole town. Life got in the way of it, soon people forgot but didn't, until A got in the way.
I'm still here and I know everything.
1. Boy and girl please
2. Twilight relation: Abigail and her friends are vampires
3. No ditching.
4. Drama, drama, drama!
5. It is based off Pretty Little Liars, so using some of the plots are okay!
6. Have fun!
Character Form:
Name|Age|Role|Crush| PB|Other
Alaska Finn|Sixteen|One of Abigail's friends|TBA|Hannah|
Alaska is sweet, smart, and just a little reckless. She does what ever she wants with out thinking of the consequences. However, this doesn't affect her grades, and everybody wonders why- she just has brains. She was one of Abigail's closest friends. They always hung out and pretty much did everything together.
Cole Vastalle| Seventeen| Abigail's sister|TBA|Hannah
Cole was the complete opposite of her sister. He could be loud, but usually wasn't. He cared about people's feelings, and often hides the truth, as of Abi was bluntly honest. Cole and Abi got into plenty sibling fights, but never hated each other. He was always protective of her.
Views: 58
Dakota Morris| Sixteen| Abigal's Friend| TBD| ✂ ᴘєω∂ѕ⋆αℓℓ⋆ᴅαʏ⋆™
Dakota is very flirty, funny, and brave, and she usually doesn't like to keep secrets, but there are somethings she just HAS to keep. She was one of Abigal's best friends, and when she went missing, Dakota was torn. She was the one who cared the most about Abigal, and they had feelings for one another, very close feelings.
Trevor McCormick| Seventeen| _____ Step Brother/ Abigal's Enemy| TBD| ✂ ᴘєω∂ѕ⋆αℓℓ⋆ᴅαʏ⋆™
Trevor is a quite kid in the neighborhood, and in this small town, things go around quickly. Ever since Abigal's death, some events had occurred, where it led to him being considered as Abigal's killer, thus him being very unpopular in the town still. Trevor doesn't really care for Abigal, nor did he care for her friends. He's just an accidental, well-known guy who lives with his step sister, who's a little too close to him, and is a mystery to everyone.
Thank you! :)
I made Emily & Toby based characters, if that's okay with you :]
Danielle "Dani" Johnson|Sixteen|Abigail's Friend|TBA|Perry the Platypus
The "smart girl" of the group. She is an extreme perfectionist who always tries to please her wealthy parents who clearly show more affection towards her older sister. Dani had been the only person brave enough to stand up to Abigail. She is captain of the lacrosse team and hopes to get into UPenn.
Eric Rossin|Twenty-Three|Teacher|TBA| Perry the Platypus
Eric comes from a really rich family that he doesnt like to associate with. He is the current English teacher at the high school. He is really kind and loving and he is a really cool teacher. He is very smart and loves reading and art and movies and photography.
Thank you! We just need one or two more people to join!

$328.4 million in stimulus funds heading to local communities
Seizing a unique opportunity to make a fundamental and lasting impact on the lives of thousands of low income Texans, TDHCA has awarded $328.4 million in federal stimulus funding that will reduce the state's energy demand, create jobs, and significantly improve living conditions among the state's most vulnerable residents.
TDHCA awarded $288 million (PDF) in federal stimulus funding to 66 cities, counties, and eligible nonprofit organizations across the state to weatherize the homes of an estimated 40,000 low income Texans. The funds will create numerous construction jobs and increase the home energy efficiency of low income households, reducing their cost burden and creating a healthier living environment.
At the same time, the Department allocated $40.4 million (PDF) to 57 cities and eligible nonprofit organizations across the state to provide services to rapidly re-house homeless Texans or prevent individuals from falling into homelessness. This initiative is designed to help individuals and families perhaps only in need of temporary rent or utility assistance, or those in need of temporary assistance to obtain housing.
Both awards were made through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. For more information on either funding award or the Department's other ARRA activities, please visit the Recovery Act page on this Web site.

GRAND FORKS (KFGO AM) - National Weather Service senior analyst Mark Ewens says there's an "enhanced risk" of heavy rain for the next couple of weeks across the region. Ewens says it's a continuation of the two decade-long wet cycle.
He said "This is reminiscent of some of the more recent years we have had to deal with excessive rains and unfortunately, it seems the pattern is continuing."
NDSU soil scientist Doctor Dave Franzen monitors conditions statewide and says the situation is unusual because this wet cycle covers such a wide area. He says sections of southwest North Dakota look like the Red River Valley "with buttes." He says the rain has recharged soil moisture but presents many problems for ag producers.
Fargo's picked up more than 3 inches of rain so far this month, and for the year, precipitation is nearly an inch and a half ahead of normal.

Those familiar with the history of The University of Virginia's College at Wise know the role the Darden family played in the creation of the region's only four-year state college.

Simmons establishes scholarship to honor family
As a youngster growing up in Big Stone Gap, Rabern Simmons always knew he would attend The University of Virginia's College at Wise.
It was a family tradition, one that his parents, Barry Simmons '91 and the late Rae Simms '76, established in the mid 1970s. Simmons' connection to campus would grow stronger over the years, but it began when the young boy would accompany his parents to various alumni events.

How long do the batteries last?
is waterproof?
Hope this helps!
I was wondering if the bulb was shielded on the bottom. Some headlamps distract your view from the glare of the bulb.
How far can this light shine on high setting?
Using the half power setting you can take all those distance estimates and cut them in half.
Also keep in mind that the green lens has more of a flood light effect and the red lense is more of a spotlight with a thin beam. Red is really only good for working around your treestand or getting your gear together. I use green 98% of the time and white if im lucky enough to be following a blood trail.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - As the economy weakened, consumers began to save money in any way possible, resulting in a boom for "dollar stores" across the nation. Retail experts warn, however, that not all deals are great deals.
While the price tag may reflect better in your local dollar store, the quality may not. For example, savingadvice.com advises to not buy certain goods at the discount store, and one of the items is batteries.
The price is great but the brand is not, and experts say the life expectancy of a no-name battery will be 1/16th that of the top selling brands at larger retail stores.
Another item to skip on, according to savingadvice.com, is sandwich bags. Despite the cheaper cost, you're getting fewer baggies and will ultimately spend more trying to save a dollar.
The other eight items experts say you should never buy at a dollar store are:
Although many of the items never to buy are mostly to do with the quantity you receive at the dollar store as compared to a larger retail store, some have to do with quality and health risks. Get a complete explanation for each item.
Make no mistake, there are deals to be had. Here are the 10 things to always buy, according to couponing.about.com, when it comes to cruising the aisles of a discount store.

Led Zeppelin's incredible appeal could guarantee a sell-out crowd of rebels or wannabees, but that talent and the generally hospitable demeanor of Robert Plant notwithstanding, the band was not among Bill Graham's favorites. Hedonistic and heavily protected by a personal security force of epic, in pounds and punching-power, proportions, the band was famous for leaving damaged digs and damsels in its wake. This performance in Oakland is memorable for a behind the scenes brou-ha-ha that sent some Graham staff to the emergency room and lawyers noble [Graham's] and oleaginous [Graham's take] opining over the proceedings. In the end, the band returned for the second night's performance in the fashionably late timeframe their fans had come to expect, and Graham and his people had their justice. In a sad footnote to this concert, Plant's young son died suddenly and unexpectedly a short time later, and Led Zeppelin cancelled the balance of their American tour.
Day[s] on the Green were special events designed by Bill Graham in the early 1970s to satisfy both fan interest and escalating financial demands from the bands. Huge outdoor 'sets,' the first theatre-like event was staged at the Kezar Pavilion in May, 1973 but future concerts, renamed Day on the Green, soon moved to the Oakland venue. Very successful both economically and artistically, Graham staged seven or eight of these festivals each spring and summer for a number of years.
