The new iPod touch 5th generation and iPod nano 7th generation are on sale/pre-order for a while now, but customers still do not know when they will actually arrive. A couple days ago Apple let it slip on the Australian Apple Store that the shipment will start in three weeks. Now it has been reverted to October like it has been on the US Apple Store. So the current assumption is that the new iPod touch and iPod nano will start shipping in the last week of October.
Despite this, a Japanese Apple blog already got their hands on the iPod touch 5G and iPod nano 7G and published in-depth reviews including video reviews. Not sure how the site got the retail iPods earlier than the tech pundits. I assume Apple will have the WSJ, New York Times and others publish reviews of the new iPod touch and iPod nano days ahead of the release. Links to the first new iPod reviews and videos are below.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday made an indirect attack on SP for its U-turn by writing on her Facebook wall that "values, public interest have been compromised through the use of money, power and scams" in the Indian polity.
"It is most unfortunate that politics in our great nation has become murky and values, public interest have been compromised through the use of money, power and scams," Mamata wrote on her wall of the social networking website.
She then goes on to appeal "all Indian citizens and of course, the young generation of India, to raise their voices" and "fight against corruption, back-room deal making, Machiavellian manipulations and machinations."
Appreciating an 'overwhelming' response to her Facebook appeal for supporting former President APJ Abdul Kalam in the Presidential election, Mamata in another post expressed her thanks. "Thank you all for your overwhelming response, in such a short span of time, for this great cause of nation...I am sure this united voice will take the issue to the next level," she wrote.
Although known to be tech-savvy, Banerjee had so far stayed away from personally participating in social networking websites despite having courted controversies for being 'intolerant' of unsavoury comments and cartoons about her.

He gets beaten up on this film, and when he hits the deck, that's Chris hitting the deck. Everyday, he gets up, dusts himself off, and goes back into the ring.

To the Goof Pick above. I think it is the "GAG" of this Scene, that a spray can and will kill people but it is totally useless against any insects.
If the bug poison is so dangerous (which it states on the can) how come it can't even kill a simple house fly?
After Beavis knocks the picture of the man holding a fish on the wall It shows the glass broke with the picture in it,Then when Butt-head comes out of the bathroom(after hammering holes into his toilet) it shows just broken glass with the picture gone.
When you see the fly killing spray, the center of the can is black. Then, when Beavis and Butt-Head pass out and Beavis picks up the spray, the center of the can is red.
Beavis: Hey look, Butt-Head... (holds up hedge-trimmer) "Say hello to my dear friend!"
Beavis: What do flies like?
Butt-head: They like garbage and crap.
Butt-Head: (seeing Beavis crapping on the floor) Ugh! What the hell are you doing, butthole?! Get up and help me with this!
Beavis: I AM helping, butthole! You just said that flies like garbage AND crap.
Butt-Head: Uh... Oh, yeah.
Butt-head: When it lands on the garbage, we're like, spray poison on it. Then it's gonna puke all over itself and die.
Beavis: Say hello to my little friend.

Obese adolescents at higher risk of hearing loss
Washington, June 18 : A new study has revealed that obese adolescents are more likely than their normal-weight counterparts to have hearing loss.
Findings showed that obese adolescents had increased hearing loss across all frequencies and were almost twice as likely to have unilateral (one-sided) low-frequency hearing loss.
"This is the first paper to show that obesity is associated with hearing loss in adolescents," said study first author Anil K. Lalwani, MD, professor and vice chair for research, Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center.
The study found that obesity in adolescents is associated with sensorineural hearing loss across all frequencies (the frequency range that can be heard by humans); sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner-ear hair cells.
The highest rates were for low-frequency hearing loss-15.16 percent of obese adolescents compared with 7.89 percent of non-obese adolescents. People with low-frequency hearing loss cannot hear sounds in frequencies 2,000 Hz and below; they may still hear sounds in the higher frequencies (normal hearing range is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz). Often they can still understand human speech well, but may have difficulty hearing in groups or in noisy places.
"These results have several important public health implications," said Dr. Lalwani, who is also an otolaryngologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
"Because previous research found that 80 percent of adolescents with hearing loss were unaware of having hearing difficulty, adolescents with obesity should receive regular hearing screening so they can be treated appropriately to avoid cognitive and behavioral issues," he added.
Dr. Lalwani and his colleagues speculate that obesity may directly or indirectly lead to hearing loss. Although additional research is needed to determine the mechanisms involved, they theorize that obesity-induced inflammation may contribute to hearing loss.
The study was recently e-published by The Laryngoscope, a journal published by the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society.

Odds-on favorite Victoire Pisa claimed the US$2.2 million Satsuki Sho (Jpn-I), Japan's equivalent of the Two Thousand Guineas, before 68,022 on a chilly spring day at Nakayama Racecourse April 18.
The first of Japan's Triple Crown Classics, the Satsuki Sho was won by 1 3/4 lengths by Victoire Pisa. The 3-year-old son of Neo Universe was ridden to victory by Yasunari Iwata in a time of 2:00.8 for the 2,000 meters (about 1 1/4 miles) over a turf course rated "good" a day after a surprise snowfall in the Kanto area.
The victory marked consecutive victories in the Satsuki Sho for Neo Universe, winner of the 2003 Japanese Derby (Jpn-I) and Satsuki Sho who sired last year's victor Unrivaled. Victoire Pisa is out of Whitewater Affair (by Machiavellian), who also produced the 2005 Yasuda Kinen (Jpn-I) champion, Asakusa Den'en.
Katsuhiko Sumii trains Victoire Pisa for owner Yoshimi Ichikawa. Shadai Farm bred the dark bay or brown colt.
Eighteen colts vied in the Satsuki Sho, with Birdie Birdie rushing out to take the lead and Victoire Pisa eased into the fourth spot early by Iwata, who also won the race last year. Victoire Pisa advanced along the rail on the backstretch and made the final bend mid-pack before Iwata steered him between horses to find an opening on the inside in the stretch.
Victoire Pisa sailed to the front 100 meters before the wire and drew away to earn is first grade I victory and fifth win a row overall. Victoire Pisa previously captured the Yayoi Sho (Jpn-II) this year.
Late closer Hiruno d'Amour charged from near the rear of the pack on the far outside to nose Eishin Flash for second, with Japan's juvenile champion of last year, Rose Kingdom, another nose back in fourth as the second choice. Aliseo, who had taken the lead 200 meters out as the third favorite, tired to fifth.
Eishin Apollon, an American-bred son of Giant's Causeway , finished 11th as the only entrant in the field not bred in Japan. The Satsuki Sho was opened to foreign-trained horses for the first time this year.

Expose Yourself
We're fans of exposing things around these parts. Well, let me clarify, exposing old elements of our home (sheesh…get your minds out of the gutter folks….although Colby sometimes…wait…I'm not gonna go here). So when we last left off on this little ol' blog of ours, we left with a teaser of sorts and showed you the old wood sheathing that we exposed in our kitchen, as kind of an accent wall.
And today we're here to get down to the nitty gritty of "how the heck did that happen?!" Let's just say, it was a bit of an impulse project. We had a few more pressing duties to tackle, you know, like STARTING our Christmas shopping. So while I was supposed to be taking care of The Campbell Family Christmas, Colby's Saturday project was to investigate what was going on in our kitchen (now that we have the final piece of our appliance puzzle, the new stove, we're itching to start remodeling and planning the new kitchen). We know there's some wonky electrical going on, our entry leaks like a sieve when it rains, and we're DYING to start completely overhauling our kitchen. Before we could space plan the kitchen, we needed to know what we were dealing with structurally. Like what walls are load bearing and what aren't. So in one of Colby's attempts to check on our electrical situation, he revealed a sliver of the kitchen wall beside the dining room.
The original plan was to check on the wiring and cover the missing sheet rock up with a piece of "temporary" trim (air quotes temporary because what is intended to be temporary around our house tends to stick around like a bad brother-in-law). But when we saw the old wood sheathing behind the sheet rock, we both kind of looked at each other with a crazy eye, and decided we needed to expose it…ALL of it.
Our kitchen isn't original to the house. It was an addition back in the 70s while the rest of our home dates back to 1910. So that old wood sheathing was actually the old exterior to the house. Technically it wasn't the siding but an underlayment of sorts. Regardless, it looked cool.
Operation Expose Yourself (Wood Sheathing) or #exposeyourselfwoodsheathing (glad we established what the hashtag for this project should be…phew) began. It really was a simple process. Demo always seems to be quick. It's the putting it all back together again process that takes forever! We were terribly careful about removing the sheet rock as we weren't taking down all of it including the trim, but just this wall section. So we carefully scored the sheet rock with a utility knife, along all the trim and around the outlets.
And using a pry bar, pulled the sheet rock away from the wall, breaking up the chunks as we pulled them off and bagging up the construction debris.
Goose even helped us out. Although, I'm sure he was just searching out errant cookies that may have ended up behind the fridge during a rambunctious round of cookie tossing.
After all the sheet rock was removed, I went back over the wall and removed all the old nails, including these tacks meant to hold back exterior tar paper.
The only blip we experience in #operationexposeyourselfwoodsheathing was dealing with the pair of outlets in the wall. Because we were removing an entire wall layer, both of the electrical boxes sat a bit too high. For one of them, we were able to cut and chip away at the wood wall enough to recess the box.
The second outlet was a little trickier since it was in a corner and over a stud (weird…I told you our kitchen was weird). To rectify, Colby just trimmed around the outlet using some scrap pine cut to the same thickness as the sheet rock. This allowed the switch plate cover to sit flush with the trim instead of sticking out 1/4″ or so.
With the outlets prepped, the last steps included tacking down any loose boards using the nail gun:
Why did I marry him again?! And installing some trim to hide the gaps between the accent wall and the other surfaces (wall, ceiling, floor):
We typically just use simple 1″ x 4″ pine for trim but sometimes it isn't enough #thatswhatshesaid. In the case of the ceiling trim, we added a piece of quarter round that we had leftover from other trim projects to help hide the slightly larger gap. And for the record, we totally know how much of a mess our ceiling is. I cringe every time I see it and strategically crop it out of most pics. It's coming down someday…hopefully someday soon.
And voila…a trimmed up, exposed old wood wall. I love that it kind of ties into the exposed wood floor that we've got going on in the dining room which is another one of those "temporary" fixes that has been there for three years now.
The old wood wall was a bit dirty and super dry. It lacked luster and I was 100% afraid that wood chunks were going to flake off into our cereal bowls stored near the wall and would mistakenly get confused for Corn Flakes. It happens. So I cleaned up the wall and gave it a coat of poly. You can see how the poly helps liven up the wall a little bit, giving it some color and brightness.
Here's the up close and personal glamor shot:
And from afar with the refrigerator back in place (and Goose not giving it up in the great cookie search):
So now that we've exposed the wall, what's next? Well, Pandora, don't mind if I do open that box you have right there! Colby doesn't know this yet (surprise baby!) here's what I want to do (in list form…naturally):
- Take down the ceiling. I just…can't…take it anymore. We hadn't anticipated doing this but I think it's time. Plus, it will help us determine whether or not we can take down the entry wall and the laundry room wall in our big remodel.
- Paint the kitchen gray like the rest of the open areas in our home (we used Baywaves by Valspar).
- Install the new kitchen ceiling (I'm dreaming of planking it kind of like this, this, or this)
- Finish painting all the baseboards in the kitchen along with the new, accent wall trim.
- Build in the refrigerator making some storage shelves above (possible painting the side of the built in with chalkboard paint).
- Build some pull out shelves for the 20″ space between the refrigerator and the accent wall.
We do intend to completely gut out our kitchen, change the layout a bit (we really want to open it all up to make space for a GINORMOUS kitchen island), and even install new cabinetry. So I'm trying not to do too much in this space right now or (knowing us) we'll just throw away that lid to Pandora's box and just do the kitchen now. But if we can break down the whole project into chunks (like replacing the ceiling now), that's one less thing we'll have to do later and helps keep our kitchen usable in the process. But we'll see where we end up once we pick back up on this project, probably post Christmas. I'm notorious for changing my mind.
Pssst…Next week I swear I'll have a few little Christmas-ie posts for y'all (am I allowed to use y'all when I live in Maine?!). Is it sad that I'm just getting around to my Christmas projects? Please tell me some of you are just starting your shopping and wrapping now too?
It's Not Vented Rip It Down
Do you ever watch the TV show Holmes on Homes? We do. All the time. Not that we ever watch it on purpose, it's just one of those shows that's always on. A few years ago, right after we bought our little fixer upper of a home, we were watching an episode when Holmes started yelling in the homeowner's bathroom, "It's not vented….rip it out!" Referring to the shower. For some reason, that line stuck with us. And for an even odder reason, we tend to yell it at each other when we're working on house projects. #oddcouple Case in point, blog topic du jour, our front porch demo.
Oh yes, with ever sash pull that came out and with every rotted piece of trim annihilated, we yelled "IT'S NOT VENTED…RIP IT OUT!" Our poor neighbors. I don't know how they deal with us. Anyway, the porch demolition day was a breeze! Maybe it's because this was the first demo day we've had in over a year….or maybe it's because this is the first demo day that didn't involve plaster and lathe (you can read all about our previous plaster and lathe removal project back here when we gutted out our master bedroom). But this demo day was all about (1) removing all the porch windows and (2) removing all the rotten, nasty wood. We started by removing all the sash stops….both the lower sash stops:
And the upper sash stops (go baby go!):
Now, for normal windows, ones that are functioning, when you remove the sash stops the windows would theoretically fall out. But with our porch windows there was water damage and warping and windows painted shut (my bad on that one). So it took a little bit of elbow grease to get those windows out. Thankfully I brought my muscle to demo day. #willworkforbeer
Colby's a window removal champ. And for the sake of full disclosure, Colby has the ins. He's a window guy. As in it's literally his job. He used to be the Andersen Window sales rep in our area before he switched over to the Brosco side of his company's operations. Now he sells Windsor Windows. So Colby knows windows…like KNOWS windows. He's always getting called out on service calls or sent to window trainings in North Carolina. So this little project, which I can see how it could scare off some people, is like second nature to him. He even knows windows enough (and old homes enough) to number the windows and their locations after removing them to make sure each gets put back in their right spot since there's nothing even, level or square in our home.
After removing the windows, apparently I got a wild hair. I have a few of those mixed in with the (gulp) gray hairs! I can't say I was ever in love the lower paneling. I wasn't even "in like" with it. "IT'S NOT VENTED!" Out it came. We were kind of hoping to find old balusters behind the paneling but no such luck. But we did find some old planking that I'm envisioning sanding down and painting.
While ripping down the paneling we did find a little surprise. Sadly, it wasn't a can full of money (we're still waiting to find that) but a ginormous old bees nest. Nasty (she says in her best "honey badger" voice)!
The only other thing we removed in our little demo project was the old, aluminum that was covering up the wooden sills. Here's the before:
And after removing it:
I wasn't kidding when I told you we had a water/rot problem going on. Theoretically, the aluminum should have been protecting the wood sill from water damage. Instead, the aluminum was up against the sash, the silicone bead wore out, the sash/aluminum warped and tilted towards the windows, resulting in water seeping underneath the aluminum and pooling along the bottom of the sash. Hence the rot.
In the span of a day we managed to take down all the windows, remove all the rotten sections of wood, and make the paneling disappear.. We still have to take down the porch ceiling, but one thing at a time. Rain was looming. Leave it to us to pick the rainiest weekend of the summer to remove and repair our porch windows….doh…so we didn't get around to porch ceiling removal. Windows first.
Our porch looks so weird without any of the windows! I kind of like it. I'm almost sad that we're putting the windows back in it. But I love those windows and their old hardware. Besides, we have the deck for outdoor living space and it will be nice to have an enclosed space for chilly fall days or rainy spring mornings. Ah…I can taste that porch coffee now! I may like the windows, but I'm pretty sure Goose is going to miss having a front of the house perch for squirrel lookout!
He spent the day on high squirrel alert! Next up on the porch renovations, wood repair. You can kind of get a sneak peak of the process in the Goose pic above with all that putty on the old, wooden window sill. But we have a few other quick and easy DIYs coming at you as well. And of course more Goose cuteness!
Pssst…Okay, so I have to give a HUGE shout out to Beckie at Knock Off Decor for featuring our West Elm inspired lamp makeover! You can read her post here.
Vanity Demo And A Primed Bathroom
So we've shown you the progress we made with the bathroom vanity(a Craigslist buffet find, that we modified, and then painted Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore) but we haven't yet shown you the bathroom progress. Game day bucket go boom:
We've been busy bees. Can you tell?! We not only removed the "temporary", been there for three years, painted plywood vanity this past weekend, but we also patched the walls, and primed the entire bathroom. I'm a little sad to see the yellow go, but am uber excited about the new paint color, which is all up. I just need to snap a few pics of it to share with you all. Hint hint, it's super fresh and clean…some might say it's "minty" fresh. Did I do that (she says in her best Urkel voice)?! Anyway…while I was busy painting away on the new buffet turned vanity, the Colb-ster was hard at work prepping the vanity area, first by removing the old vanity. The hot tip for vanity removal…turn the water off.
You don't want to flood your bathroom. I know an indoor swimming pool has always been a dream, but just not on the second floor…directly above the living room tv.
The second hot tip for vanity removal…score the caulking on all the vanity trim/back splash areas before trying to remove them. This makes trim removal easier since it breaks the paint/caulking seal.
Same goes for the sink. Don't just try to pry it out, score the caulking around the sink first. It's pretty much the only thing holding that sink in there so scoring it with a utility knife breaks that seal.
Since Colby and I are both big fans of salvaging wood, Colby removed the vanity piece by piece as much as he could. We're always coming up with new projects and ideas for salvaged wood and love to recycle wood and trim pieces instead of buying new. Who knows, an old bathroom vanity may become new bedroom shelves someday.
Same goes for the baseboards. We had a decent amount of sheet rock repairs to do in the vanity space, which meant carefully removing the baseboards (scoring the caulk line first with a utility knife and then prying it off with a hammer). We'll later put the baseboards right back where they were, re-caulking, and touching up the paint.
With the vanity and baseboards removed, it was just our usual sheet rocking/mudding/sanding song and dance. We're getting to be pros at this.
It may be hard to tell in the above pictures, but the reason why Colby sheet rocked right over the lower half of the wall (where the plumbing is coming out of the wall) is because the wall there has always been uneven and adding a level of sheet rock levels it out. Way back when we first demo-ed our pink and ugly bathroom and re-sheet rocked it, Colby installed a piece of plywood behind where the mirror would go, underneath the sheet rock. This provided a nice solid surface to hang mirrors from…good idea. Bad idea…not leveling out the bottom half of that wall. Doh! So we took the vanity removal opportunity to rectify the situation.
After Colby finished the mudding/sanding process, I gave it one final sand, and primed the entire bathroom.
I know I didn't necessarily have to prime the entire bathroom before re-painting it, but our yellow walls were super bright and I didn't want to take any chances of the new paint color not covering it. And after all, primer is cheap at about $15 a gallon compared to our favorite Benjamin Moore paint at $45 a can.
So stay tuned for details on our freshly painted, minty bathroom. I should have those pics coming at ya early next week…or maybe tomorrow if I'm on my A-game. Let's just say…the color doesn't disappoint and I'm not one to ever choose the lightest shade on a paint chip!
Pssst…So what about you guys? Any painting projects going on in your neck of the woods? Or bathroom makeovers going down? Do share! We LOVE hearing from you all!
Down Undah
This weekend was a whirlwind…wait…uh…no…not really. We got snowed in this past weekend thanks to winter storm Nemo. Neither Colby or myself left the house the entire day on Saturday, but we stocked up and prepared for the storm Friday night. And by stocked up I mean we came home with a case of beer (Long Trail's winter classics variety pack…mmmm mmmm good) and a couple gallons of paint. We got our DIY on this weekend…our guest bedroom DIY on, which when we last left off looked a little something like this.
We got some serious work done in the guest bedroom this weekend. It's starting to really come together and I can't wait to share all the details with you all. But as much as I would like to jump right to the painting part of this story, we gotta back it up a bit and go down undah…undah the floor. There's still a little demolition to be had in this room when it comes to the flooring. We still had to take up the sub floor.
We had originally left the sub floor in this room since it was void of cracks and was nice and smooth, meaning it would make demolition debris and sheet rock compound dust much easier to cleanup off the floor. So we left it there for now knowing perfectly well that it would eventually need to be removed before laying down the wide pine planks for flooring. It was just one layer too many for this space. And this weekend was the ideal time for removal…just after drywall sanding and before painting, since you don't really want to make a demolition mess after you've cleaned up and painted a room.
And the sub floor removal went pretty smooth and relatively quickly. It was as simple as using the claw end of a hammer (or even a pry bar) to hook underneath the sub floor:
And then pry up the pieces (while Goose relentlessly photo bombs):
This was my best action shot of Colby's demo work:
I love how I captured some of the pieces flinging up into the air while Colby pried the floor apart. #photogeniussaywhat
After prying up all the sub floor pieces and tossing them into a heavy duty trash bag to take to the dump, the next step was nail removal. In our DIY relationship, Colby loves to make the messes (demolition, wood working, heavy construction) and I like to make things pretty (painting, trim staining, decorating). The other hat I also wear…nail removal.
And boy were there ALOT of nails in that floor to remove. Lucky for me I enjoy a good ol' tedious task such as this (I'm totally serious…I'm not sarcastic at all…ask Colby…I could remove nails all day long…you should have seen me in nail removal heaven after we removed all the plaster and lathe from this room). And nail removal is easy using the claw end of the hammer to gently pry up the nails.
After the floor was removed and all the nails were pulled, we cleaned and swept up our mess while Goose protected us from the dangers of squirrel attacks.
Goose is good like that…he's always protecting us from squirrels…and the men in brown (UPS guys…and their trucks). And no, we don't normally keep our window open during freezing February temperatures. We just find it easier to remove construction debris through the window rather than drag it through our pseudo clean house. Don't believe us? Just check out this video of yore when we made a game out of throwing construction debris out the window. Told ya!
After cleanup was all done, we were left with a ready-to-be-put-back-together room. FINALLY!
And because I love a good to-do list, here's what remains on the "Operation Finish The Guest Bedroom" list:
- Prime the walls and ceiling
- Paint the ceiling a bright white (Benjamin Moore's ceiling paint is my all time favorite)
- Paint the walls a taupe/gray color
- Install new flooring and poly the crap out of it
- Install, stain and finish baseboards, window trim, door trim and even the new door
- Since the attic entrance is in this room, install a pull down staircase and finish the opening (paint or stain, still haven't decided)
- Add some sort of flair to the window wall (maybe a stencil, maybe a pallet wall, maybe some wallpaper…still deciding)
- Add bead board to the slanted party of the ceiling, painting it bright white
- Decide on and install a new light fixture for the space
- Make some curtains (I'm thinking white with some fringe or pom poms)
- Build a custom daybed for the space
- Turn a little dumpster diving find into a sweet little night stand
- Add some storage and shelving
- Art, art and more art
Whew….that's quite the list! I heart lists! There's nothing better than a list to keep up the DIY motivation and also keep me on track so I don't stray. Although I did stray a little bit already and worked in the master bedroom and entry this weekend. Whoops! But it's just because we ran out of materials for the guest bedroom, I swear! Excuses excuses. Tell it to the judge. What if I just start crying? I heard that gets you out of tickets.
Pssst…Any other New Englanders out there who chose to bunker down and DIY their way out of the storm? And holy crazy amounts of snow! How much did you guys get?! We're guessing we got about 24″ which was light compared to most places!
Boom It's On
Yesterday's post was all about Eminem, I mean, prepping our bedrooms for demolition chaos and today it's apparently all about the Ying Yang Twins because "Boom! It's on!". And by "Boom! It's on!", I mean we completely DESTROYED our bedrooms. Consider this the calm before the storm.
Colby completely removed the window in our master bedroom so we could just throw all the construction debris out of it onto the ground below, instead of trekking it through our house, leaving a trail of dust and debris behind us. With both rooms completely cleared out, we said a few words during the opening ceremonies before Colby took the inaugural swing.
And actually did a little damage.
My inaugural swing was a bit more for show. I'm like the inaugural first pitch thrower outer that just barely gets the ball to roll to the catcher. The ball may have even stopped with this throw:
You should know that this was the extent of my contributions in the demolition arena. Our demolition system consisted of Colby going to town ripping and tearing and I was responsible for the cleanup. After a couple of hours, we were already making some progress.
See that pile of construction debris on the floor in the guest room? That was the mess that Colby made and what I ended up picking up. Even the ceiling came down in both rooms.
And of course we wore the proper personal protection apparel including dust masks. Thank you 3M for saving our lungs! But anyway, as I mentioned before, Colby went to town in the rooms tearing down all the layers of plaster and lathe with a hammer and Sawzall combo. Meanwhile, I walked the mile, the green mile.
That's the roof above our kitchen, which is just outside the guest room and master bedroom windows. While Colby destroyed things, I grabbed an armful of construction debris, climbed out the window, walked the mile the green mile, and threw the debris to the ground. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I tended to grab armfuls of lathe but scooped the plaster into trash bags. I must have made a couple hundred trips back and forth. Oh…and I almost forgot, the path on the roof, that green stuff, is the carpet pad from the guest room. We tried to protect our roof from getting damaged from all the increased roof traffic. We also utilized the old, blue carpet and made a target out of it down below.
And took a little video.
Shortly after this, we realized it would be much easier just to back the pickup truck into the bullseye position and throw all the materials into the truck instead of onto the ground and then into the truck. It's way less fun that way but it got the job done quicker and easier.
It didn't take long to fill the truck up this way.
Once the truck was filled, we took a trip to the dump which is only a few minutes away from our home. And as planned, we took FULL advantage of free dump week. Five trips to the dump later, our master bedroom looked alot like this:
Just about everything came down except for the old closet. That space actually had modern sheetrock so we kept it.
We left alot of the old insulation but some of it had to come down. There were some areas where the insulation was damaged from a fire way back when, other areas where it was missing altogether, and other areas where it was sparse. But that's another post for another day.
It's amazing that it only takes a day to demo a room and it will probably take about three months to put it all back together again. But that's the fun part! I despise demo…absolutely hate it. I think it's all the dust and displacement of the norm and did I mention the dust?! I hate the dust and the dirt and the mess! But once we finish insulating and put back all the sheet rock, I'll be much happier. But I am so thankful that we were able to finish the demo in one day. It's hard! Really hard! I still can't stand erect and I feel like an old lady (so sore). It certainly made me appreciate my desk job!
Pssst…I promise, this is the last, let's make a mess post for this week. Two is more than enough for one week. Back to something fun and exciting tomorrow, like bling!

Varun Goel, Head PMS, Karvy Stock Broking: "With interest rates not expected to increase a lot, we have turned positive on rate sensitive sectors like banks and auto. Public sector banks are trading at quite cheap valuations and we expect significant out-performance from that space in the next two to three years."
"Expect export oriented sectors like IT to continue to benefit from rupee depreciation seen last year. Telecom is another sector which might deliver strong earnings due to return of pricing power and reduction in competitive intensity," Goel added.
Another analyst, Paras Bothra, VP, Equity Research Ashika Stock Broking said "IT, financials (on interest rates coming lower and economy picking up) and beaten down infrastructure stocks will be the biggest out-performers for 2014.
"IT seems to be the most confident of all and is completely insulated from vagaries of domestic turbulence if any," he said.
Marketmen believe that growth phase coming back in the US will benefit IT companies the most.
On sectors that are likely to lag behind in the New Year, Saraswat said, "Real estate, oil and gas sectors are likely to under-perform in 2014 due to policy hindrances and sluggish demand. Also, we maintain cautious outlook for banking sector, due to rising NPAs in most banks and also due to rising interest rates environment."
Marketmen said the key events to watch out for in 2014 are the Union Budget, general elections, global growth and consequent US taper.
"While we think it is unlikely, we remain watchful of any fiscal expansion by the government before the general elections," Patnaik said.
"The key market drivers in 2014 would be the local inflation trend, Lok Sabha elections and the pace of recovery to potential GDP growth levels. In the near-term, we would expectantly look at Q3 earnings where we believe the lack of a festive season boost could dampen growth (and therefore earnings)," he added.
According to Saraswat: "Trend in inflation, rupee and interest rates will impact market trend. Global market cues, FIIs investments and signs for economic improvement, all these will play important role in coming year."

Nashua's tower saved, but not by Obama
Earlier this week, the President flew to Colorado to campaign for tougher gun control laws, then on to San Francisco for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser. At $179,750 per hour to fly Air Force One, National Review Online's Jim Geraghty pegged the cost of this week's trip at roughly $1.4 million. That is enough money to keep Nashua's tower open for years (it costs about $1,000 a day to run).
As Deroy Murdock notes elsewhere on this page, Vice President Biden could have stayed for free in the U.S. ambassador's 60,000-square-foot residence during his recent trip to Paris. Instead, Shotgun Joe opted for a Paris hotel - at a cost of $585,000.
Late last month, as Nashua officials pleaded with Washington to keep the tower open, USAID awarded a grant of $3.8 million to assist in the creation of a new pension system - in Armenia, Geraghty also reported.
Three flight schools are based at Nashua. Without air traffic control, student and new pilots would have to navigate the skies (which are traversed by commercial flights out of Manchester-Boston Regional Airport) by themselves. Obama might want to ponder that.

Disney Channel Is Coming to Russia
The Walt Disney Company has made a deal to begin broadcast its children's programming to over three quarters of Russian homes.
Mickey Mouse is headed to Russia as the Walt Disney Company makes moves to introduce the Disney Channel to the country.
The New York Times reports Disney is acquiring 49 percent of SevenTV, a channel that reaches more than three quarters of Russian homes, and will rebrand it as the Disney Channel. American programs such as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will be aired on the channel alongside Russian-made children's shows.
PHOTOS: Disney Generation's New Rising Stars
The Disney Channel is currently seen in 168 countries and territories and broadcast in 35 languages. But though the company has had a tiny cable channel in Russia for years, it has never had the broad exposure it enjoys with the Disney Channel in other countries, largely because of governmental restrictions on foreign media.
Disney's move to heighten its exposure on Russian TV will give the entertainment company a larger footprint in the country, through which it hopes to drum up increased interest in its movies, theme parks and consumer products. In recent years, Disney has already seen an increase in the ticket sales for its films, notably the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Police: Facebook Rumors About 'Russian Kidnapping Ring' Not True
PRICEVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – Have you seen the Facebook posts about a Russian kidnapping ring in north Alabama? Police say they are simply not true.
Several people have contacted WHNT News 19 about the posts. One man emailed us this week from Priceville, saying he had heard of something happening there.
A woman in Morgan County provided us with this post from her Facebook news feed:
WHNT News 19 is taking action to help provide truthful answers. We spoke with Priceville Police on Wednesday about this matter.
Assistant Police Chief Ron DeWeese said he has received calls about a woman selling children's books in the area. This part is true. He said he ran a check on her, and she has a state license to sell these books. She is going door to door to try to sell children's books.
DeWeese said the rest of the information circulating is simply rumor.
The rumor is circulating in other cities in north Alabama and across the country. Police in several U.S. cities have also debunked these claims, as you can see on Snopes.com.
Safety Tips
It's not illegal to sell items door to door, however, use caution whenever you answer your door and it's someone you don't know. If you are visited by a door-to-door salesperson, the Better Business Bureau recommends you do the following:
-Be safe. Ask for identification before you open the door. Never invite the solicitor into your home.
-Be wary of high pressure sales tactics. A trustworthy company should let you take time to think about the purchase and compare prices before buying or putting down a deposit.
-Research the company with BBB. Visit bbb.org to view the company's BBB Business Review to find out more about their marketplace performance. If you have a smart phone, you can download and use the BBB app to access the company's report while the person is standing at your door, or visit m.bbb.org on your mobile device.
-Get transaction details in writing. Be sure you receive a contract or receipt explaining the details of your purchase and all the terms and conditions that apply.
You can also post a sign on your door that says 'No Solicitors.'

Korean Sapsaree dogs bounce back from the brink
GYEONGSAN, South Korea (Reuters Life!) – Decades of colonial occupation, war and poverty took a deadly toll not just on millions of Koreans but also one of the country's traditional and beloved breeds of dogs.
Sapsarees, shaggy-haired dogs long valued for their loyalty, were killed in large numbers by the Japanese military, which used their fur to make winter coats for its soldiers serving in the extreme cold of Manchuria, as documented in government records during the period of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945).

'The Intouchables' Looks for 'Artist' Oscar Magic
The cross-culture comedy is France's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film.
The Intouchables, a cross-culture comedy which has become a global box office hit, is looking to tap into The Artist's Oscar magic.
The feature from directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano beat a tough group of competitors to emerge as France's official entry for the 2013 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
France's Oscar nominating committee gave Intouchables the nod over Jacques Audiard's Rust and Bone, which many had tipped to be the French contender.
Intouchables traces the true-life friendship between a rich handicapped white man and his black, ex-con caregiver. The film has been a monster success - both in France and internationally - where it has grossed close to $370 million worldwide, making it the most successful French-language film of all time.
In the United States, Intouchables, released by The Weinstein Company, has earned $11.6 million after more than 100 days in release, making it the top grossing foreign language film in the U.S. so far this year.
The Weinsteins, of course, ran The Artist's successful Oscar campaign and transmuted Academy Award glory into box office gold, earning close to $45 million domestically with the black and white silent feature.

we spent good days in suriname thanks to our guest ingrid who help us to find our way, the good places to by clothes, spices...
she was very nice and friendly with us...thank u for everything,it was like home to stay in your house.
nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez ingrid.
nous avons eu du mal à trouver la maison, mais une fois arrivés, nous avons trouvé une maison spacieuse, fonctionnelle et confortable.
notre hotesse nous a bien accueillie et a répondu à toutes nos questions.
je vous la recommande, surtout si vous etes plus de 3 personnes à voyager.
Ingrid is such a nice, funny and helpful person. We arrived late at night and she prompted to get a cab to pick us at the airport. She also offered to stock the fridge with groceries, so that we wouldn't be hungry at night.
The following day, my friend wasn't feeling OK and she managed to find a doctor who could help him, and that was in a sunday morning! She also drove us to one of the few pharmacies open at that time in Paramaribo. She was always very helpful with everything we needed and her family is really a joy.
The house is nice, well ventilated, with basic facilities and air conditioning (a must in Suriname!), but not exactly close to center (although there are some grocery stores nearby). One should expect to pay U$ 3 to get to the center of Paramaribo.
