Fairly new around here--been lurking for a couple of weeks, I confess. About to undertake a kitchen remodel and am starting to think my selections--I'm thinking Cherry cabinets, Soapstone counters, and "gunstock" oak floors, are going to resemble my dog, a Bernese. Just wondering if anyone else finds themselves drawn to color schemes or textures reminiscent of their pets? |

LOL!!!! When we went looking for hardwood floors, I tried to find a color that matched Bailey's browns so that you wouldn't see dog hair as much. Nothing I can do about the white hair on the floors, unfortunately (they're beagles, can't match all the colors!) Other than that, my kitchen doesn't really have their color scheme because it's lacking in black. |

Oh, that's funny! I prefer to match the floor to the soil (red clay where I live) and the upholstery to the dogs. Which didn't exactly work out when I chose green for the couch... |
- Posted by shanghaimom (My Page) on Sun, Nov 13, 11 at 22:50
Love it! Keep 'em coming! Now, exactly how do I go about posting an image of the guilty culprit? |
Pip was my design inspiration! Clementine and the unnamed white lab are gorg! More photos of dogs, please! |

Funny. I don't have a dog anymore, but growing up I had a Sheltie, and my kitchen is a mix of colors like she was. I also now have a black cat, a creamy cat, and a calico. I guess that could be some of the unknown inspiration behind my mix of painted and stained cabinets, whiter counters and backsplash, and oak floors. Our cats haven't moved to the new house yet, so I don't have pictures. |

Ha ! My Tuxedo cat matches the black/white bathroom. She looks like she's part of the floor when laying near the steam pipe. She requested those colors there since I ripped up the 80's white 6x6"ceramic tiles in the kitchen...Tiles in kitchen are multi slate look now...maybe time to get a calico too. |
We realized when the new bamboo floor went in last week that it's exactly the same color as our Golden Retriever. Our Katie is pretty much the color of mtnrdredux's baby Clementine. Our foster cat is just one shade lighter. |
Haha, quite the opposite here! A white kitchen and 2 black dogs: a Labrador and a Labrador-Pointer mix. The red terracotta tile does match the red-mud pawn prints, though ;-) No photo of them in the kitchen as yet, and don't worry about the huge chain, this we only use to prevent them from running after the car. Once the car is safely outside the gate, they go off-leash again! |

Our floor coordinates with the dog hair (two shelties and a giant Pomeranian). |

Hi mgreen... Sadly our dog passed away just days before we remodeled....but Olivia, our cat enjoyed being our inspiration.. for the cabinets.. and the sink.. |

LOL @ Krisma! Perfect! |

Yellow lab for cream cabinets. Black lab for soapstone and chocolate lab for walnut floors. Wow. Didn't know I did it but someone needs to schedule an intervention! |
- Posted by fromthesouth (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 9:58
Kitchens and Dogs- my two favorite topics. Hugo matches the cabinets. Ella matches some of the food I've cooked trying to get used to the new stove! |
Such beautiful dogs. Sorry for your loss, KA. Countrygirl -- that picture of Coal is should be hanging in a gallery, it's gorgeous. |
hah, no wonder I like stained cabs! (they both hate cameras. I think I scarred them with the Halloween costumes...) great thread! as fromthesouth said, my two favorite subjects! |
- Posted by mercymygft (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 10:22
Haha! This is funny! But I guess I did inadvertently match my new kitchen to my dog! Here is a picture (not mine) of the type of kitchen I'm planning: |
Your kitchens really do match your dogs! OMG It's frightening! ;-) |
- Posted by mythreesonsnc (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 14:11
Love this topic! Yes, my old girl, Lanie, matches my kitchen for sure! |
- Posted by SusieQusie60 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 14:15
Love it!!!! First, I think my kitchen matches my little Toby perfectly! Not so bad on China (my kitty) either, right? Our first family doggie was a Berner...I loved that gal, and never thought we'd be able to find a dog anywhere near as wonderful. We decided to go smaller so our next puppy was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She's since passed on, and little Toby here was my 50th birthday present last year. My son wanted to name him Bernie, because his coloring is so close to a Bernese, but I was pretty much set on Toby (and he was my gift...) Anyway, cute thread. SQ |
I love all these responses. Glad you all like the thread! I'm dying to post a pic of my kitchen inspiration. Can some one tell me how to do it? Thanks! |
Check the "Posting Pictures" topic in the "Read Me" thread. |
Here is a link that might be useful: New To Kitchens? Posting Pics? Read Me!
I never thought of it, but we do have an orange dog and now, an extremely orange kitchen. You can see an pic of the kitchen to the left. I think Wanda played a subconscious role. |
This is amazing. You all have beautiful kitchens to match your cute pets. Love it. Fromthesouth - I love the pattern of your hardwood floor. |
The walls match his fur, and floors and cabinets match his ears. And the distressing matches his claw marks and scratches. Close enough! |
this is the cutest thread ever, it should be on a news show or decorating show at least!!! hahaha, it made my day : ) Now I'm off to my meeting with a smile. |
Wow! Maybe its a subconscious undertone in our decisions. Thanks, this was just the happy pick me up I needed this evening even though my dog is white and I am looking at wood stained cabs..... But she does have a bit of brown in her ears. |
My husband and I were just joking a few days ago about how our dog matches our under-construction kitchen. And then here is this thread! Here is our Schnoodle (mix of Schnauzer and Poodle) who matches our cream and natural cherry cabinets. |

Haha! Yes, how funny. Love all your little friends everyone! my kitchen with matching pooches: and to match the floors: |
Sigh. You guys are killing me. We lost our sweet Bailey (a Shih Tzu) 9 months ago. One of our last pictures of her before she got sick was on the snow of our lot...and she's white, so that's fitting. I guess my kitchen was white then. We buried her ashes in the cement of the back porch, so I guess that kind of on theme as well. I want a new pup so badly, but we have to move into temporary digs until our new house is ready. Then, I guess I'll be looking for a cork-colored pooch! From The South, I have to ask, what color is your sunny yellow kitchen. We promised our almost 3 year old a yellow bathroom and he loves your color. Please help me prevent a meltdown! |

I so love this thread! blfenton: The floors are original to the house and they were buried under linoleum and tile. Can you believe that? When we found out they were in such good shape, we abandoned our plans for an island becuase we didn't want to cover up the floor. ICFgreen: The color is Applesauce Cake from Porter. It looks more golden on my walls than it does on the paint strip. We used Golden Ecru which is one up one the paint strip for the butler's pantry (it gets less light). Good luck finding the perfect yellow! |
Coastal: My border collie matches your kitchen (black & white)! Your GSDs are very nice. They look like German working line dogs. Our kitchen doesn't really match the dogs, only some of the tan color on our German Shepherd. Don't think I'll find a dog to match the green countertops either. :) Very fun seeing everyone's pets!!!! |
- Posted by coastal_modern_love (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 21:08
Thanks Anna! Yes they're both from working lines (DDR) not related though. |
What an absolutely wonderful thread!! |
Ah, Buehl, you're a genius! The existing kitchen (full remodel coming soon, incl. potentially opening wall to DR):
The Dog:
I had a dearly loved orange cat who happened to be the same color as my red oak floors. Now I have two black and white cats (more Holstein than tuxedo) and am getting a white and dark gray kitchen. Matching the cats is purely coincidental, but I think that cat and dog fur is an inherently beautiful manifestation of creation, so we often gravitate to similar colors. |
Yes! He matches the white cabs, the pine cabs and table, and the soapstone -- and the floor is dark enough to hide his hair. |
Ha Ha! Our whole house is designed around our cats (and hopefully future dog). We had black cats and therefore - dark counters, wood floors, dark rugs, dark tile, navy couch, dark purple couch, dark DR seat cushions, dark comforters on the bed... Our cats eventually passed and we fostered a mom cat and her 5 kittens this spring. We fell in love with "snowball" a white long hair cat plus a light brown one. No way would they permanently live in our house! We kept the mom a wonderful cat (Calico - mostly black with a little brown) and Tuxedo a kitten (mostly black) - really nice too. Friends think it's strange to design around pets but then they see why it makes sense. I have a friend who has 2 homes and picks the floor tile grout to match the local dirt. She starts there and then goes on to tile selection. Great idea! |

I never thought about the quartz countertops being brindle, but they are! Here's our Hugo posing as a towel pig (he doesn't usually get to sit on the counters). He and Lacey, our pound puppy (part pit bull, part chicken -- she's afraid of everything!), are both brindle. Loving this thread! Especially the bulldogs! -- Amy |
This is not my kitchen and I don't have a dog, but I feel that my studio floor, which I put in, matches my cat pretty well. |
This one is even better: my skis match my kitchen. Total accident. But the pine grain is even closer in person, and then the little camo black and gray matches the soapstone. I just need a bowl of green apples on the counter. |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Tue, Nov 15, 11 at 15:36
My dog is a pure bread disquised as a mutt. My kitchen is a nationally registered disaster....both have excellent paperwork and preform like crap....both are often dirty and useless....one of them occasionally poops when stressed out...ok wait they both do.... Yes, my dog and my kitchen are perfect matches LOL |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Tue, Nov 15, 11 at 20:07
igloo--where you been? |
This thread is such a hoot! When teaching quilters to choose fabric colors one of the things we have to do is get them past the colors they're drawn to because they look good in them. OTOH, sometimes, when I consult on interiors, I have to remind less color minded people that they want to create rooms where they'll look good (i.e., not that color that makes you look like warmed over jaundice). So the pet thing is fascinating! If your Sweeby Test has you listing warm, inviting, cozy, family, loving, as things you want your kitchen to feel like, do you subconsciously envision a kitchen that looks like your dog? It makes sense that you would! |
@clergychick: best. towel. pig. ever. I laughed out loud. Adorable! Especially the tongue. :-) |
- Posted by pupwhipped (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 20:04
Igloo humor sorely missed! Yeah, where you been? With a name like pupwhipped, you'd think I'd have the pictures to prove it. Alas, got the pups, but not the pics. Bottom line, with five dogs, not only do they match my kitchen, I can match ANYONE'S kitchen! pup |
- Posted by jodi_in_so_calif (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 20:52
Yep, pretty close. :-) Jodi- |
Jodi, your little doggie is so cute! Is he or she a puppy or a miniature little doggie? What is his or her name? |

Jodi -- here, now she's perfect: |
- Posted by jodi_in_so_calif (My Page) on Thu, Nov 17, 11 at 1:52
Thanks CP, the purple collar bothered me too. :-) Lynn, her name was Lilly. She's no longer with us. She was hit by car. That happened over a year ago and I'm still so sad. She was full-grown in that picture but we never knew what she was. She was given to my son in the parking lot at the animal shelter just before he was about to go in to find a new dog. |
- Posted by jodi_in_so_calif (My Page) on Thu, Nov 17, 11 at 11:47
By the way, we never let Lilly on our kitchen counters. I Photoshopped her in. :-) |
I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. My turn to share our Bingo. He not only matches our kitchen and adjoining family room, he's an accessory. I was never a dog person until we rescued Bingo almost 2 years ago. Best thing I've ever agreed to! |
This is my GracieJane in our old house. So now you see why I need to paint my cabinets white with a dark granite :) |

Our bathroom renovation matches our cat. |
- Posted by hellonasty (My Page) on Thu, Nov 17, 11 at 18:52
Yes! The floors and the counter are both brown and the cabs are a light maple. Perfect for our hotdawg. |
ha, hellonasty, not only do they color match but your floor tiles are even long like your dog! love this thread! |

mgreenman, Welcome! Great thread--great pics! My kitchen is still in progress. The dog, snoozing under my work table (with pieces of countertop): |
The Shih-tzu's Monty and Watson. They don't match per se, but they do exude love and home, so there is that. |
mtnrdredux ... They are last season's Blizzard "the One" skis. Great fun. :-) The women's version is pink, called "the Crush." This year the graphics are weird ugly plaid, though ... |

Jodi_in_so_calif, Lilly was so small and adorable. Yes, when we lose a pet, a huge void is felt. Sorry about your loss. |
All the doggies and kitty cats are so adorable. If I was not so tired from sitting in class all day long for my continuing education and then signing mortgage refinancing papers all night, I would comment about each one! Love the furkidz and the kitchens and bathrooms shown! My Furkidz do not match my kitchen right now but maybe they will if I finally get around to making the changes I want to make. :) |
Davis doesn't really match the dishwasher.... but, he blends extremely well with the great room floor that is also in the kitchen. |
Love this thread! Our golden retriever matches the saltillo tile in our kitchen. Love the picture of Davis hanging out with his head in the dishwasher!! |
Yes, my dog is dirty and so is my kitchen (usually). I think my kitchen is dirty because of my dog, actually. Yeah, it's his fault! J/K. The pooch got a bath yesterday and I wiped down the cabinets and stove today! |
We got a kitten to match our yellow carpet many years ago, then got a white cat and hated both because of the white hair on obvious dissimilar ground color but who wants 40 years of yellow cats? |
a member posted this thread over at the pet forum. what a hoot!!! LOVE all of the beautiful kitchens and the pictures of the pets are awesome!! i don't have dogs that match my kitchen (or any room, for that matter), but bentley thanked me for buying furniture that he blends in with... swee' pea doesn't match anything but she occasionally steals the couch from her brother. :) |
can barely see bentley in that photo he blends so well! forgot to comment that I have seen so many beautiful pets, as well as, beautiful kitchens I haven't seen in the past. |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 12:57
Funny thread & photos! My calico cat does match my black/bronze kitchen counters come to think of it!!!! Since she often seen up on the counters -- it's a good thing that they coordinate so well! Also have noticed that after painting living room walls green, my orange cat looks so much brighter and oranger! Green is opposite orange on the color wheel, a contrasting complementary color, so it really brings out his orangeness. With off white walls he used to look kind of blah, a washed out beige. They say when decorating to start with your inspiration piece - why not the pet! |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 13:01
Actually Sweet Pea greatly resembles that big white cushion thing in the photo - in color, shape and position on the floor LOL. Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thanks for your nice comments Lynn2006. Jodi- |
Katie and I are a bit late to this party - but you can see how she blends into the kitchen floor perfectly. In fact, when she first came home - all 4 poubds of her...she blended so well that we were terrified of stepping on her! |
zelmar- love your pup and your kitchen! Love meeting all the pups out there too...what a great thread! |
- Posted by joyce_6333 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 23, 11 at 16:00
Boxerpups, I love your boxer puppy and dogs! Boxers are great fun playful and happy dogs! I love your kitchen also. Which white did you use on your cabinets since I love the creamy shade that is not too white but not too creamy? You are blessed with so much light into your kitchen! Do you have more pictures of your kitchen? I love the white teapot with the black handle and the soapstone counters! |
It sure wasn't easy ... Dawn |
lynn2006, Thank you for your kind words. The paint color I used is called Powdered Snow by Behr bp |
- Posted by nursetammi (My Page) on Sun, Nov 27, 11 at 0:50
Boxerpups, I love the honed granite! I am going to try out your white color since I keep going back and forth between three whites and can't make up my mind so maybe the white color you used will look nice on my cabinets also. Thank you! DawnT, your kitty cats are so cute! I love your floor and cabinets! I miss having a kitty cat but with 4 little dogs and two of the little dogs are not doing well, I have to wait until one pet passes before I can add a kitty cat to my family. Nursetammi, Kacy is adorable! |
Dawn t: That is hilarious. What a great photo. |
- Posted by musicteacher (My Page) on Sun, Nov 27, 11 at 23:45
I can't help but notice how clean everyone's floors are = and how many of you have rugs in your kitchens. We got wood floors put in this year and I am appaled by how much dog hair is floating around. Vaccuming twice a day would not be enough, and it really sticks around the edge of the rug in the LR. How do you keep that clean? |
- Posted by nursetammi (My Page) on Mon, Nov 28, 11 at 0:32
You buy a poodle that doesn't shed :) I don't think there is any way around it when you have a shedding dog :( Thank God mine doesn't because my dog wants to attack my vacuum every time I put it on so once or twice a week is all I can handle. |
- Posted by musicteacher (My Page) on Mon, Nov 28, 11 at 22:55
That's funny nurse...my 65 pound aussie will try to herd a buffalo, but is terrified of the vaccum. If she weren't I would probably try to use on her and skip the spread it the floor then vaccum routine. |
- Posted by nursetammi (My Page) on Tue, Nov 29, 11 at 2:03
Hi Musicteacher, I think I'd prefer terrified than attacking. The funny thing about my dog is that we got him when he was about 5 months old. I was told he came from an Asian family that cleaned homes. Well he will attack brooms, mops, vacuums and dust rags...what in the world is up with that? Besides that he is so sweet but cleaning the house is very stressful :( |
Nursetammi, You are not alone...We have to put Katie and Seamus in a room with a "doggy gate" or in the car when we vacuum, rake, shovel snow or use any other tool that might make them want to bark at it, jump up on it or attack it like your Kacy does....! The good news is that they are Labradoodles and do not shed either! BP3 |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Tue, Nov 29, 11 at 12:41
Match? Who needs to match when you've learned how to turn on the faucet? |
I love this!! My dog will definitely blend in with our new hardwoods when they go in. LOL |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Sat, Jan 14, 12 at 14:04
My little girl (dog) doesn't match but she blends in quite well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ellie on the couch
Oh what a great thread! The matching pooches and kitties are priceless. Here's our little (ahem) guy: |
So cute! I just love German Shepherds, but we already have two big dogs. Since they are not allowed in the kids' beds (or even bedrooms), I agreed to getting these siblings. They are chihuaha/poodle I think. |
Ahh, I could spend a lot of time here just admiring everyone's faithful companions. My condolences to those who have lost theirs. I also have a confession: I have never, not even once, wanted a towel pig----but I now think I both want and NEED a towel Hugo! And it must be Brindle. |
- Posted by clergychick (My Page) on Mon, Jan 16, 12 at 0:22
Oh, Hugo's definitely one of a kind, sail-away! But he's very flattered. I'm sure he'd give you a big kiss if he could. |
- Posted by beaglesdoitbetter (My Page) on Mon, Jan 16, 12 at 0:53
clergychick, Be sure to tell Hugo thanks. And, if I could, I would accept that kiss gladly---it would be an honor. |
No our light oak kitchen with white appliances and greyish Formica does not match our chocolate lab, although his tasteful stainless steel dish is a nice touch. |
I will get a dog to match my new kitchen-cutest thread ever. |
Dirty and stinky? Yeah. He also matches 50s oak flooring. My CAT matched my kitchen floor. |
I guess the only one who doesn't match is our grey cat. :) |
It was suggested that I revive this thread after Jamie snuck into this photo of my new two-tone kitchen. He matches perfectly! I have, however, developed some hefty vacuuming skills from the white fur/dark floor combination. :) |
So sweet : ) What a cutie! .... Love all the pictures! |
Glad you revived this - I missed it first time. Soibean should post here, too - her dog matches her floor. Our Winnie is more of an accent piece; she coordinates. She matches the white trim and the black cooktop, as well as the black specks and veins in the granite, but to really match, she'd need to be green. |
- Posted by sparkler39 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 22, 13 at 20:31
I LOVE this thread! Our house is being built but now that I think about it, our kitchen (and actually our entire house) is matched to our dogs. In the kitchen we're going with black cabinets, bianca luna laminate countertops (white and grey), and a iridescent grey/blue backsplash which is basically our bi-blue merle sheltie, Merlin, who has half a blue eye. Our floors will be stained pretty close to the brown in Archimedes' face (the tri-colored sheltie). |
So glad to see this thread revived. Great pups above! LOL at the expression on your guy will2kz ... is she gonna drop something soon, is she, huh, huh, is she, huh? :) |
Joyce, I love your two Pekingese. My first one was fawn with a dark mask. She lived until she was 18. I had her longer than my daughter and husband. Our 2nd peke is now 14, and she is half deaf and has cataracts. She can still smell the food though....she just can't find it. Poor baby! 3rd peke is pure sunshine. She is the dog that has never grown up. My ADD dog. Never walks when she can run. If I have been gone for even a minute she welcomes me back with such joy...like I have been gone for days! LOL All of the peeks match my kitchen as do the two collies that are outside except in the extreme heat and cold. All girls too. Mtnfever, here is a Halloween costume picture for you. Poor Snickers is so embarrassed and not happy, but the costume suits her personality. Peke |
Peke, that picture of your gorgeous collies should be a Christmas card. |
Well, not so much the kitchen ~ but I'll bet you can tell why I changed the bedroom to match the dog! |
Bessie thinks I need to make up my mind. One minute I'm shooing her off the counter, the next I'm inviting her up to take her picture. |
Happykate, my Snickers does that too. Props her head or chin on tables, shoes, furniture legs. Our two peeks are now banished to the floor. No more sleeping on the bed. I am surprised they haven't called DHS yet. Sleeping on the floor indeed. |
What a fun thread! I love looking at everyone's pets. Mine sort of matches the grout or a lighter spot in the tile...either way she loves the coolness of it and we often find her laying in the kitchen in the summer. She does not match our dark hardwood floors but thankfully has poodle in her and doesn't shed much at all. :) |

I started laughing when I heard about this thread on another post. When we were debating cabinet color, my wife said, "I know this sounds weird, but I want them the color of Bucky." My contractor indeed found it weird when we came home and she held swatches up against the dog. I think we came pretty close. |
Perfect match! Jodi, I think your Lilly was part Dachshund. I recognize the ears and front legs. Look a few posts down and you will a pic of a Dachshund. Looks really close. I bet Lilly had a long body too. Maybe mixed with a terrier. My Pekingese have long backs and short bowed front legs like Lilly. |
This is a great thread!!! I had several comments from my DIY Kitchen Reveal thread that Charles matched and to post his pic here too, lol. So here we go: |
Great to see a few new post! love the dogs and the occational cats. Isn't that just like a cat, to sneak into a thread about dogs ;) Anyway, several years ago I took this pic of Rusty (at night) to include it in the dog matching thread. This is outside our back door in the fallen black maple leaves. He is not a house dog, unless my DD visits then she sneaks him in, 'cause she LOVES him. But if he was a house dog he would look fab next to my cherry cabinets. He is the best dog. He's getting old. We got him at the shelter when he was 6months old and afraid of new things. My DD used him in obediance shows in 4H as a highschooler. Can you see him? |
I love this thread! |
Love that one. I bet he/she thought he was in heaven. A new chew and on the counter. LOL peke |
Peke, actually... our xmas picture from last year. Otto was not so happy but eventually distracted with a good bone. Loved seeing your Collies! Otto's girlfriend is a Collie who lives right across from our house; he watches out the picture window for her and lets us all know when she's outside :) (Then we let him out, then we let him in, you all know the routine). The Collie loves airplanes and is always watching for them and chasing them. |
Oops! Wrong post. |

Time how long Macbook Air battery lasts
Is there an app that can tell me how long I have been running my mac on its battery? Like on the iPhone in the usage settings, where it tells you how long you have been using your computer since it was last charged fully?

Nov 20, 2012, 02:10 PM | #2 |
Well since your MacBook Air wont run for 24+ hours like an iPhone could, but probably 7 hours maximum, cant you tell for how long you have been running on battery. As in you unplugged when you left the house at 10:30am and it died at 5pm? Something like that. ?
Probably does exist, but whats the point.

istat menus 3 by Bjango It displays system vitals on the taskbar. It does many other things in addition to telling you how long you have been running your mac on battery. I use it to monitor disk activity, network activity, cpu usage, enhanced calendar etc. To measure the actual running time, you have to restart your Mac, or at least logout and login again to reset the istat's counter. When you click on the CPU icon, it tells you your actual running time as well as the total uptime. That way you can see not only the actual running time, but calculate your sleep time as well.

I too had this problem when trying to find out how to accurately time my battery. Most people seem to compare the estimated times on their mac but this obviously varies greatly between users. I think there is a paid app on the app store that does this but I wanted a free solution so I stumbled upon this app http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/226...ibatterylogger which does exactly what we want and more.

For the record my 2011 11" i7 air lasts about 4 hours 30 minutes with light use and careful consideration for saving battery (50% brightness on lcd and keyboard, 50% volume, safari, mail, messages, and itunes open. No flash videos using the clicktoplugin in safari). It lasts about 3:30-3 hours if I use it without regard to saving battery. |

In other news, reports are confirming that Jerry Sandusky has just walked from his family room to the kitchen in order to make a sandwich. ESPN will be there all night reporting on this and will be doing extensive research on whether Sandusky had ham or turkey. Outside the Lines will have a special on where this meat came from and where they got the animal. They will then discuss whether or not Joe Paterno had a say in whether the animal was taken to the slaughter house or not.

So an opinion columnist who is paid to write his opinion, was asked to rank baseball uniforms from favorite to least favorite based on aesthetics, is considered to be not supporting troops because he ranked the Pads camos dead last?
For future reference, may I please know the lowest I can rank something with camo or Red, White, & Blue in it so I can continue to support the troops and America? Thanks.

I'm sorry but the absurdity of this is killing me. A few weeks ago we had a thread where people were arguing that it was perfectly ok for Stefon Diggs to say possibly racist things about Jeremy Lin, and arguing that we've gone "PC" too far...essentially defending our right to publicly air inappropriate, borderline racist comments without being crticized because those comments are actually just meant to be funny. And nationally, we have people arguing over whether or not it's ok for Rush Limbaugh to call a girl a slut and a prostitute to a huge audience. And now we have some of these same people saying that people are not allowed to have an opinion that Camo uniforms are ugly on a baseball team?

The M5 (base price: $90,200) has twin-turbocharged, intercooled direct-injection 4.4-liter V8 with variable valve timing and lift and active exhaust; seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission; rear-wheel drive with active locking/torque vectoring rear differential.

Robotic arm gives amputee drummer better beats
Georgia Tech)
When drummer Jason Barnes lost his lower right arm to electrocution two years ago, his future as a musician didn't look too promising. But thanks to a new robotic arm invented by Professor Gil Weinberg, founding director of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, he may soon be the envy of the drumming world.
That's because the new mechanical arm effectively gives Barnes the ability to use three different drumsticks while playing his kit. He holds the first in his left hand, as always. The other two are held by the robotic arm attached to Barnes' right bicep. One of those sticks is controlled by the up-and-down motion of Barnes' arm, as well as electrical impulses from his body measured by electromyography muscle sensors.
The other stick however, analyzes the rhythm being played and uses a built-in motor to improvise on its own, adding a dimension to drumming that's heretofore not seen on any stage we know of.
"The second drumstick has a mind of its own," Weinberg said in a statement. "The drummer essentially becomes a cyborg. It's interesting to see him playing and improvising with part of his arm that he doesn't totally control."
Barnes finds it more than interesting. "I'll bet a lot of metal drummers might be jealous of what I can do now," he said. "Speed is good. Faster is always better," he said, referring to the fact that the autonomous stick can move more quickly than humanly possible.
The drumming arm is an extension of Weinberg's previous work; among other thing, he has created one robot that could play the drums and one that could play the marimba. Both robots could jam with human counterparts thanks to programmed algorithms. The autonomous third stick uses similar technology to "listen" to what's being played and add its own appropriate track. If the drummer doesn't want to hear the extra stick, he can simply rotate his arm so it doesn't strike the drum.
Beyond making music, Weinberg sees applications for his technology in outer space or the operating room, where a third arm could help astronauts or surgeons orchestrate complex operations.
You can see Barnes trying out the device in the video below. He'll rock it in public for the first time at the Robotic Musicianship Demonstration and Concert at Kennesaw State University on March 22.

Mr. Parker carefully clipped the end of his cigar and leaned back in his chair while he lit it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer stood along the Hudson River and watched his research come to life as Hurricane Sandy blew through New York.
Just eight months earlier, the Princeton University professor reported that what used to be once-in-a-century devastating floods in New York City would soon happen every three to 20 years. He blamed global warming for pushing up sea levels and changing hurricane patterns.
New York ''is now highly vulnerable to extreme hurricane-surge flooding,'' he wrote.
For more than a dozen years, Oppenheimer and other climate scientists have been warning about the risk for big storms and serious flooding in New York. A 2000 federal report about global warming's effect on the United States warned specifically of that possibility.
Still, they say it's unfair to blame climate change for Sandy and the destruction it left behind. They cautioned that they cannot yet conclusively link a single storm to global warming, and any connection is not as clear and simple as environmental activists might contend.
''The ingredients of this storm seem a little bit cooked by climate change, but the overall storm is difficult to attribute to global warming,'' Canada's University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver said.
Some individual parts of Sandy and its wrath seem to be influenced by climate change, several climate scientists said.
First, there's sea level rise. Water levels around New York are a nearly a foot higher than they were 100 years ago, said Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann.
Add to that the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean, which is about 2 degrees warmer on average than a century ago, said Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University. Warm water fuels hurricanes.
And Sandy zipped north along a warmer-than-normal Gulf Stream that travels from the Caribbean to Ireland, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director for the private service Weather Underground.
Meteorologists are also noticing more hurricanes late in the season and even after the season. A 2008 study said the Atlantic hurricane season seems to be starting earlier and lasting longer but found no explicit link to global warming. Normally there are 11 named Atlantic storms. The past two years have seen 19 and 18 named storms. This year, with one month to go, there are 19.
After years of disagreement, climate scientists and hurricane experts have concluded that as the climate warms, there will be fewer total hurricanes. But those storms that do develop will be stronger and wetter.
Sandy took an unprecedented sharp left turn into New Jersey. Usually storms keep heading north and turn east harmlessly out to sea. But a strong ridge of high pressure centered over Greenland blocked Sandy from going north or east, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University, an expert in how a warming Arctic affects extreme weather patterns, said recent warming in the Arctic may have played a role in enlarging or prolonging that high pressure area. But she cautioned it's not clear whether the warming really had that influence on Sandy.
While components of Sandy seem connected to global warming, ''mostly it's natural, I'd say it's 80, 90 percent natural,'' said Gerald North, a climate professor at Texas A&M University. ''These things do happen, like the drought. It's a natural thing.''
On Tuesday, both New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. Andrew Cuomo said they couldn't help but notice that extreme events like Sandy are causing them more and more trouble.
''What is clear is that the storms that we've experienced in the last year or so, around this country and around the world, are much more severe than before,'' Bloomberg said. ''Whether that's global warming or what, I don't know. But we'll have to address those issues.''
Cuomo called the changes ''a new reality.''
''Anyone who says that there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns I think is denying reality,'' Cuomo said. ''I told the president the other day: 'We have a 100-year flood every two years now.'''
For his published research, Oppenheimer looked at New York City's record flood of 1821. Sandy flooded even higher. This week's damage was augmented by the past century's sea level rise, which was higher than the world average because of unusual coastal geography and ocean currents. Oppenheimer walked from his Manhattan home to the river Monday evening to watch the storm.
''We sort of knew it could happen, but you know that's different from actually standing there and watching it happen,'' Oppenheimer said from a cell phone. ''You don't really imagine what this looks like until you see it.''Continued...

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was born in 1881 in the former Ottoman Empire. As a young man he was involved with the Young Turks, a revolutionary group that deposed the sultan in 1909. Ataturk led the Turkish War of Independence and signed the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, which made Turkey a republic. He was elected its first president and ushered in reforms that modernized Turkey. He died in 1938.
"Everything we see in the world is the creative work of women."
"My people are going to learn the principles of democracy the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go."
"Teachers are the one and only people who save nations."
"Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder."
Early Life
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was born simply "Mustafa" on March 12, 1881, in Salonika, in what was then the Ottoman Empire (his birthplace is now known as Thessalonika, in modern-day Greece). When he was 12 years old, Mustafa was sent to the military academy in Istanbul. There, his mathematics teacher gave him the name Kemal—meaning "perfection"—because he excelled in academics. He graduated in 1905.
Military Career
As a young man, Mustafa Kemal became a member of the Young Turks, a revolutionary movement of intellectuals. He participated in the Young Turk Revolution of July 1908, which successfully deposed Sultan Abdülhamid II. From 1909 to 1918, Mustafa Kemal held a number of posts in the Ottoman army. He fought against Italy in the Balkan Wars from 1911 to 1912, and in the second Balkan War he became chief of staff before being posted at the Turkish embassy in Bulgaria. He made a name for himself as the commander of the 19th Division, where his bravery and strategic prowess helped thwart the Allied invasion of the Dardanelles in 1915, and received repeated promotions until the Armistice of Mudros ended the fighting in 1918.
Although the battles had ended, the treaty gave the Allies the right to occupy forts that controlled major waterways, as well as any territory that might pose a threat to security. In 1919, Ataturk organized resistance to these forces, and when the Treaty of Sèvres was signed at the end of World War I, divvying up the Ottoman Empire, Mustafa Kemal demanded complete independence for Turkey. The Great National Assembly—the new Turkish parliament—engaged in a series of battles with Greek and Armenian forces until Mustafa signed the Treaty of Lausanne on October 29, 1923. This established the Republic of Turkey, and Mustafa Kemal became the country's first president.
Mustafa Kemal's first order of business was to modernize and secularize the country, which he did by studying Western governments and adapting their structure for the people of Turkey. He believed that modernization necessarily entailed Westernization, and he established a policy of state secularism, with a constitution that separated the government from religion.
Social and economic reforms were a crucial part of his strategy as well. He replaced the Arabic alphabet with a Latin one, introduced the Gregorian calendar and urged people to dress in Western clothes. Mustafa industrialized the nation, establishing state-owned factories around the country as well as a railway network. And a multitude of new laws established legal equality between the sexes.

Warmer temperatures may cause unhealthy air
Warming temperatures may have you wanting to spend more time outdoors. But warm weather can mean more unhealthy air.
Susannah Fuchs of the American Lung Association says our region's sunny, hot, nearly windless summer weather creates the perfect conditions for the formation of ozone and smog. And Fuchs says we're also hit hard by particulate pollution. "The very, very fine dust that can easily bypass the body's natural defenses and get into lungs and even bloodstream and cause all kinds of respiratory effects and also cardiac effects," Fuchs said. Fuchs says children, the elderly, people who work outdoors, and people with respiratory problems are most at risk, but that everyone should avoid outdoor activities during times of peak air pollution.

In Week 12 action against the Falcons, Minnesota fell behind early and wasn't able to complete the comeback on the road in Atlanta, falling 24-14.
Toby Gerhart got the start at running back in place of the injured Adrian Peterson and finished with 44 yards on 17 carries (2.6 avg.) and one touchdown.
It was Gerhart's 1-yard rushing touchdown that put the Vikings on the board with 3:58 remaining in the third quarter, cutting their deficit to 17-7.
Minnesota got to within three on a 39-yard touchdown pass from Christian Ponder to Percy Harvin early in the fourth quarter, but Matt Ryan connected with Michael Palmer on a 3-yard touchdown pass later in the quarter to seal the game for the falcons.
Ryan posted a season-best 128.2 passer rating against the Vikings. He finished 27-of-34 for 262 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions.
For Minnesota, Ponder connected on 17-of-25 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown. Harvin led the team's receivers with eight catches for 95 yards and one touchdown.

Lol stolen the art and spritework
From PRGuitarman of LolComics and the fanart his friend did for him. Great job
Gah, I'm quite tired of being accused of stealing this. Read the artist's comments, all content used with permission. I contacted both PRGuitarman and David Kingaby (the guy who made the game over artwork) before deploying this game and got their permission.
If you got to the original Nyan Cat page ( http://www.prguitarman.com/index.php?

I doubt they would link that if I stole their work without permission. I really wish people would do a bit of research before theft accusations, and before rating low because of those theft accusations.

Please note: This thread will include .
After watching The Silence I read a handful of reviews but I found none that even mentioned my interpretation of the film. Maybe I'm looking at it all wrong, maybe everyone else missed what I saw or maybe I just didn't read the right reviews. In any case, I found this film to be the best movie I've ever seen dealing with the frustration of having to live our lives in the apparent silence of God.
Most of the reviews I read dealt with the interaction between the two sisters and the son, and they all made interesting points about those relationships. However, I found no mention of the palpable namesake of the film -- the silence of God. Throughout the film, the three main characters interact with metaphorical images of our perception of God -- and in all these instances, He is silent.
First, the boy runs into a repairman who fixes a light in silence. Then we meet the old man who works at (runs?) the hotel. While he is not silent, he speaks a different language and any sort of communication is severly limited. There are the dwarves, chaotic and random and who speak gibberish. There is the man who is the lover, who is physical but silent. There is the tank that rolls through the streets. It is vengeful, menacing and, of course, silent.
While the interaction between the two sisters can be seen as two sides of the same coin -- or the same person (the side that feels opposed to the side that reasons) -- and even the child then as a symbol of the "inner child," I think these characters also demonstrate how we try to interact not only with each other, but with God. The sister who winds up with the lover wants a physical manifestation of God's presence. However, even in the midst of passion, she is left in silence. The other dying sister is content to interact with a God she cannot quite understand or comprhend, but she recognizes the beauty of his creation (such as when her and the old man share the joy of listening to the music) and is content to see God working in the mundane, small instances in life. The child sees God in all these forms, all of them silent, and all of them, I think, inacurate human perceptions of God.
I think the film actually ends with a bit of hope. The child reads the bit of paper given to him by the dying sister -- he will continue his search to find, to hear God...

But that could soon change.
The city councilwoman whose district includes Chinatown recently proposed making the purchase of counterfeit goods a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine and a jail term of up to a year.
The legislator, Margaret Chin, says the law is necessary to deter counterfeiters, and that buyers of counterfeit goods cost the city around $1 billion in tax revenue annually.
Unsurprisingly, the backlash from Canal Street shoppers has been huge.
We decided to venture down to Chinatown for ourselves to survey the counterfeit scene.
Bottom line: it was sketchy, the knockoffs kind of sucked, and we came away empty handed. But at least we learned the right way to score an "A quality" Chanel bag for 1/50 the sticker price of the real thing.
We shop for 'Chanel' handbags.

So, yeah, George R. R. Martin (You know, of that Game of Thrones business?) wrote a letter and had it printed in AVENGERS #12 back in the '60s.
I've known about this for a bit, but today Coheed and Cambria singer Claudio Sanchez tweeted it to me and I figured it would be a fun tidbit to share. Claudio's been without power because of the storms and he just happened upon GRRM's letter while reading old comics. Fantastic!
