St. Louis, Misso...
This project was incredibly easy, and almost completely seamless!
I used a rib knit (commonly used for cuffs/collars, sold as a tube of fabric, essentially). I serged the bottom hem, and the top cowl, and cut armholes, which I serged off also. (Optional – turn under all edges for traditional finish or leave as is with serged edges) Presto!
Cotton blend rib knit, thread

Wunderbar! Die Farbe ist so toll (wie mein Hochzeitskleid-Bilder kannst du dir gern ansehen) und die Idee mit dem Material ist prima! Das kann man aber nur machen, wenn man so schlank ist wie du ;-) Viele Grüße!!

A fun commission...

Comment on this
A friend of mine, an avid hiker asked me if I could paint a picture she took when hiking in France this year. I may have given a tepid response prior to seeing the picture. It is relatively easy to turn down a commission from a stranger if the scene is not something I feel I can paint with integrity...but a friend's request...now that is harder. When saw the picture however, I knew it would be fun to paint. True it is a bit more green than my desert works, but her sense of composition was great and I wouldn't have to edit it into something she wouldn't recognize. Also, I found getting out of my High Desert rut (although it is a rut I love) was refreshing for me. Hope she likes it! (it is only 90% done...will look at it tomorrow and see about hilights...any value adjustments, etc.) Also, the photo is not my best effort, as it is an unfinished piece.

How is it not a rejection of a portion of the faith to endorse homosexual union?
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?Matthew 22:36-40
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
On or about August, 2008, Defendants MICHAEL BREWSTER and KAREN STAGG-HOURIGAN, as employees of the COUNTY acting in their official capacities... did disparage and demean Plaintiff GREENE in his presence and in the presence of others, making and/or ratifying derogatory references to Plaintiff GREENE's sexual orientation and age, stating "you know how those 'gay boys' are"... After [Harold Scull's] death, Defendants BREWSTER and STAGG-HOURIGAN further expressed displeasure at dealing with expressions of grief by a gay man who had lost his long-time partner.Sickening.

Death Will See You NowI'd like a holiday,A pool in DubaiOr a weekend in Paris.Nothing fancy.But you watch,Someone will drownOr choke on a baguette,And I'll have to do some overtime.No, I'm not a doctor,These aren't healing hands,Quite the opposite.Do you know when you planTo kick the bucket?It's just I'd rather you madeAn appointment.I can pencil you inFor SaturdayAt half past nine.That's not too early for you is it?No, you can't cancel.But I assure youA spring funeralIs always lovely.
LateBeing late was something that she had never been any good at. For twenty-seven punctual years she had made the point to be ten minutes early to wherever she had to be. But everyone has to be late at least once in their lives, and she was ten minutes late, which for her meant that she was twenty minutes late, and perhaps to those that are somehow always ten minutes late she was right on time or maybe even a little early. She flashed her ticket at the bleary eyed man-who-looked-at-train-tickets-but-she-didn't-know-what-that-was-called and was impressed by the lack of humanity in a place where humanity thrives. There were no husbands waiting to meet their wives off of a platform, and there were no children screaming for sweets whilst their mothers sighed, and there was no babble of noise that hid stupid questions, and 'Sorry-did-I-step-on-your-foots?' which she also thought was a stupid question. There was only her,
SundayOnly the birds speakAnd a battered aviation radioMumbles a reply.Through a glass door,To a pretending Wonderland.Warm stone and bare feet,Parched grass and puddles,Somewhere a hosepipe leaks.A very English summer.It doesn't feel likeThe fifth worst city in the world.Not on these mornings,Never.
Diamonds Don't BreakHe is the shard of an old life,And the edge of where broken,Cuts the heart when held.She is the dust of an old laughter,And she glints and glittersAnd gets into your eyes.You did not drop themNor make them shatter,Only accepted their goodbyes.They are just mirrors in the distance,Reflecting back a girl who broke awayYet did not break.On their glass you did not paint the cracks,Only saw them and made your own.Silence did not splinter them,Now you're just a girl they used to know.
A School for the FutureTrace the carved names,Scratched expletivesAnd peeling doors.The scent of dust,Disinfectant,Long lacquered wood,And cheap perfume.This was your world.It was tired,And getting on a bit,But affectionate.Anonymity was just a word,And you were safe,Thinking it would never end.It's gone now, what was yours.Dug up and rethought,Shiny and new.They've ripped it all away,The stage and the walls.But please remember,It was just brick, tile and mortar,Its heart still beats,Dusty, yet gloriousAnd forever yours.
NumbersHow old are you Grandad, she asked.I said I was twenty-two.She didn't believe me.She was six.With that pink hat she lostIn the town that's dead now,That graveyard of the recession.And on my centenaryI received correspondenceFrom her majestyWho said I could start my birthdays again.Don't be silly, she said.Maybe she did believe me.I dreaded the day that she would know.Know that I had lied.She wouldn't be six for very longAnd that hat would get left behind.How old are you Grandad, she asked.I said I was seventy-eight.Shouldn't you be thirty-four, she said.No, but my hip is nearly five.
We Are All GoingThomas Edison's last words were:It's very beautiful over there.And Mr Barrie said: I can't sleepBefore he dreamed his way to Neverland.And seventy-four years later,When it was Mr Jobs' time to goHe said Oh wow, oh wow, oh wowBefore he left this world.Let's go and see the other sideAnd touch the clouds with our lost lives.But maybe there's just plain old darkness,That's familiar even though it's cold.Mr Darwin said he was not afraid,And Ms Austen asked for nothing but itThe revolution that was Mr Marx said:Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.And no they didn't, they never said enough.You may never have known these namesUntil my inky sentiments for their last words.Just another jumble of letters on the list of the deadYet there's something wonderful in what they said.When McKinley was shotAnd didn't die for daysHis wife screamed: I want to go too.And he just said: We are all going.I suppose Mr Edison was righ
Echo.That day when you tore away from meyou left me with a bitter taste in my mouthand a pulsing darkness in my chest.And that darkness, it consumed me whole,leaving no traces of the personI once was.I wish that I could shed my skinbecause each and every cell in my body knowswhat your touches feel like,and how your skin tastes.But to me, you now taste bitter.And every time I look at you,all I can hear is those three wordsyou liked to hide behind,that rolled out of your lips so smoothly.I should have known then,I've always stumbled over minebefore you stole themoff my tongue.And I cannot say I hate you,there is just this enormous voidinside of me, that is filledwith nothingbut utter disappointment anda hollowecho of your

Human Porcupine"I present to you, The Human Porcupine!"Laughter rises and falls when the ring master brings her forward.We all know her, the human porcupine.She never stands quite right.Her body is laden with knives.It is a grief that has bent her body into submission.Everyday the number of needles on her back grow.Everyday another knife is stabbed into her pin-cushion flesh."The trick to this miserable creature is finding one that lives long enough to see the cage!"Roars of laughter come and she looks down at her feet.She will know no other life except the one where there is a knife in her back.The worst part is that the first knife came from her best friend who sits in the very same crowd, but she does not shed a tear for her dear Human Porcupine...
Yet Another Fallen HostMy, what hope liesin the half empty glass,trembling by tremor and leer.At such a long road's end,does it rise and shatter.What understanding have you,of fear, of pestilence,other than the existence of self.Imposed, the creationto be eventually bled out.Filthy, the very causeby which the water rises,boiling with blistersin the overwhelming sinof the ever beating sun above.Freedom, to the acrostic asininitynow found laughing atop the grave...the grave of past gone by,decaying with every biteof a gluttonous sloth with an ancient cause.That to my eyes, the mass hysteria,borderline loss of sanity from the commonalty.Have I lost track or do my eyes deceive,the horsemen's tracks are of disarray,and I know not which one has come.Now, the angels look onward,gazing with hopeless eyes,searching for faith in the fallen creation,who now wither and crawl,away as they fall, into the Abyss....Declines, the signs of the end,the near and far come and go,as the war seeps t

Pours the color of caramel candy apple, hazy with brown dominant and red tints. No head at all and very little evidence of any carbonation.
Aroma is coriander, spciy yeast, some burnt brown sugar and candi sugar with a hint of some dark citurs fruit.
Flavor starts with dark malt, almost chocolate hint that moves to a bready, grain alcohol hit and finishes with a heavy yeast hit.
Mouthfeel is average to me. The total lack of carbonation just does not help this beer. Sour, sweet and bitter seems to be too much to balance.
Drinkability is average at best. Beer just does not have enough to get past lack of carbonation and a real direction.

Pours a very murky deep amber color. Reminds me of apple cider. There was a small amout of sediment or crust around the mouth of the bottle-this might have made it cloudier then it should be. Nice aroma-hints of vanilla,caramel,brown sugar. Good oakey notes-earthy and yeasty. All the different smells are nicely balanced. Big sweet flavor up front-raisen like. Slightly sweet. 12%???!!!! Not from where Im sitting-high abv is very well hidden. Somewhat spicy. Very full body-a damn fine beer. I need to buy more then one next time or see if it comes in a liter size. Well worth buying.

Appearance: No head on the pour, hmm, at all, I mean. Clumpy white yeast at the bottom of the bottom, body is muddy and brown. Not very appetizing.
Smell: Fruity, with some apple, citrus, raisins for sure. Alcohol is very evident.
Taste: Raisins and dark fruits, a little tart, sweet, and but more mellow than you would generally expect form of a beer this strength. Not bad, it is missing something though.
Drinkability: Carbonation. I have had tap waer with more carbonation than this beer. Flat as can be, this at least needs a little something.

Picked up a bottle from Magnums on the 4th of July 2010 for $5.99.
Beer opened resoundingly flat and decanted without a head. Upon further examination of the bottle i discovered it was bottled in 2002. This could be good or could be bad...
Nose was quite lovely, dark ripe fruits dominate.
Taste is pretty similar to the nose, dark fruits and candi sugar. Finishes slightly sweet. Not catching any oxidation.
Mouthfeel is fairly full nut not overly smooth.
Overall this was a pretty fun considering this is my first ten year old beer. It has held up considerably well. I am guessing this came out of someone's rare beer collection and was resold...

Clear mahogany, a gentle pour producing nothing but the barest wisp of head. Minimal aroma, requiring me to stick my nose in the glass. Hot, fusel alcohol and rum soaked fruit. Maraschino cherry. The flavor opens with huge syrupy sweetness. Gooey caramel malt suprersaturated with candi sugar. Hot and boozy right from the start. Incredibly sweet, with that lingering saccharine bite in the end. I'd say it's cloying. Super fruity and packed with alcohol, like cherry syrup cut with grain alcohol. Peppery phenols into the finish, mostly overwhelmed by the hot, hot booze. Very little carbonation, enhancing the massive sweetness and slick mouthfeel. Crazy, and hard to drink. I feel like I could breathe fire.

I had to check the ratings before I rated this one. Its incredibly low carbonation. I was worried with the very weak pfssht on cracking the cap, but looking at the ratings here, its either an incredibly common problem for this beer, or a flaw in every bottle. Anyway, it pours a cloudy brown. The aroma has a nice brown sugar and honeydew melon fruitiness. The flavor adds toast and a touch of caramel to the mix. This would probably be a great beer if they pumped up the carbonation. The fact I could drink it as flat as it was says something about it.

purchased on sale at my favorite bottle shop on sale for 3.99. couldnt pass that up! poured into a brand new chimay chalice. the label looks like it was copied on an ancient copier and can hardly be read
A- this one pours out a murky dark brown with lighter highlights the higher up the glass you look. a small khaki colored head forms and lasts the entire length of the beer. it leaves a solid wall of sticky lacing behind after every sip.
S- lots and lots of sweet malts. brown sugar and dark fruits. figs and raisins are the strongest. plums and cherries as well.
T- as with the smell, this one is very sweet. brown sugar loud and clear, followed by lots of ripe dark fruits. cherries, figs, plums, raisins and tobacco. the massive amount of alcohol in this one is very well hidden.
M- medium and nearly full bodied, which is a little thick for the style. a nice lowish level of carbonation which is also unusual. both seem to work for this one however. a moderate warming from the alcohol on its way down.
D- easy to drink and a fine choice to christen my new glass. the alcohol is remarkably well hidden and could have been a problem if i didnt know how strong it was. something ill try to go back and snatch a few more up of. check this one out if you get the chance.

Doesn't strike you as a Quad - but it offers some interesting flavors.
A: nice, big head...dark amber color, rather clear
S: caramel, acetic acid (like a weakened cider vinegar)
T: woody as hell, forest-musty....lightly bread-crusty (reminiscent of Jenlain Ambree), almond?....tannic, tea-like finish....sherry-like oxidation, yet surprisingly mellow in attack, clean overall
M: smooth, medium-full, pretty dry finish, little bit of a tingle....a bit hard to tell it's 12%
O: not what I think of with a Quad, but obviously notable for other reasons....curious about the handling and age of the bottle...

Dark mahogany tinged maroon beer with a fluffy wheat hued head that settles into a lasting ring leaving very little lace.
Aroma is standard Belgian dark ale; stewed plum, berries, raisins, and fig with hints of dry leather and earthy wood. There's a bit of spice and banana from the yeast.
Flavor a bit more pronounced. Dark stewed fruit, vanilla, hazlenuts, and dark caramel and candi sugar. Almost like a Belgian Barleywine. WArming and heady.
Body is quite big with active carbonation and a creamy, full mouthfeel. I like the addition of Valerian and Lemonbalm, although I cannot taste them. Nice and worth the 5 bucks or so that I paid for this.

A: Amberish cider color with loads of haze and sediment. Head is full figured, light beige color.
S: Caramel, raspberries, lemon, powdered cocoa, fresh dark fruits and toasted cereals.
T: Begins with a lot of upfront brown sugar which moves quickly to caramel apple. Lemon is definately apparent on the tip of the tongue all through the process. The dark fruits that come next really taste right off the vine, not the saturated and syrupy presentation that sometimes comes with quads. Get a lot of chocolate covered orange towards the back of the palate. Finishes with what I can only assume is the valerian root because I'm not really familiar with this flavor...sort of like Sprite with alcohol esters actually.
M: Medium body with a nice mouthfeel. Carbonation started out really agressive but like most Belgians chilled out after a while.
D: Interesting beer. More like a dubbel with seasonings than a quad (except for the alcohol content). This one would develop some interesting characteristics with a few years of age...not sure how old mine was.

$6 for a 11.2oz bottle.
attractive clear ruby pour with belgian style whirlpool-top head . even the most minimal jarring creates a sturdy lace.
2002 vintage.
nose is very raisiny and sweet. vanilla and butterscotch are here too. all flavor and spice, no alcohol or yeast in the aroma. clean is the best way to describe it.
first taste brings out a yeast/malt profile very reminiscent of westvleteren 12. then i get hit with spices.. (bottle says 'valerian and lemon balm'). berries, bananas and raisins to me. sweet burnt sugar. stille nacht comes to mind in the aftertaste. funny that i drank it out of a st. bernardus glass... this beer imitates and captures certain elements of all these big belgians. well done clone- would be a great substitution for the expensive stuff if it wasnt expensive itself. good, but in a weird place ratingswise.

Interesting color..kind of a deep orange mahogany, clear through the pours, translucent in the glass..sediment on the bottom...yes, I'm gonna do the conditioned stuff. Sheets of pastel off orange Belgian lacing. Earthy nose that hints that this one is going to be on the thin side. Raisin, figs and plum, a little booze; all quite nice but slightly understated. The flavor matches up quite nicely with the nose. Adequately carbonated, the mouth feel as understated as the nose. REALLY can't believe that this one is 12% ABV. Drinkability??your call. This one will creep up and bite you in the a$$, but crazy incognito. Recommended for those who consider themselves quad-noisseurs. Cheers..glad to find this one at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo.

Poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Glass of cold water on the side to sip from periodically.
Appearance: As poured the beer is a hazed chestnut color with 1 ½" ivory head that persists for a relatively long while that leaves some patches of lacing here and there as it recedes. Sipping leaves a sheet of foam on one side of the glass that soon slides back down to the liquid while on the other side there are some patches and legs of lacing clinging to the glass. Eventually the head recedes to a ring of foam with a partial covering over most of the liquid.
Smell: The aroma has a nice fruity character (raisins and apples) mingled with lots of caramel and candi sugar. There is also a bit of a musty or leathery character here towards the end.
Taste: The flavor is full of the dark caramel sweetness and some fruit, with raisin, peach and apple showing up as the liquid warms.
Mouthfeel: The mouth feel is on the full side of medium with a certain light creaminess from the active carbonation. The finish is relatively long and filled with changes as the sugar comes and goes, changing places with the fruits and eventually ending a touch of bitter sour apple.
Drinkability and Overall Impression: I've enjoyed drinking this one and despite the sweetness here it hasn't begun to cloy by the end and so remains enjoyable throughout. My overall impression is that this is a well made, interesting beer that is not quite what I'd expected but that has a lot to recommend it.

I love this beer. Vintage unknown into 25cl chalice.
A- Brown, like fall leaves or dirt. Active carbonation settles into a tight ring of tiny bubbles.
S- Huge waves of fruity sweetness, plums and cherries. Like a bouquet of flowers.
T- Candi sugar comes on strong, malt, mellow sweet fruit and strong honey. A bit of tobacco and a bit of musty earthiness. Label says 'lemon balm', and the crispness is def. there on the front of the tongue.
M- Smooth, full-bodied, mellow flavors. No sign of ABV. Very expansive flavor profile. Carbonation is dialed in perfectly- light bubbles keep the beer moving nicely.
O- I can't get enough, by far my favorite quad. Worth seeking out.

Did not know this was a 12% Quad when I opened it. Brewed with "valerian and lemon balm"- now that's a new one!
Stubby 11.2 oz. bottle with a slightly messed up label from Hi Time Wine in Costa Mesa, CA. in January 2007 for $6.49; tasted in April 2007.
When opened, the inner rim of the neck of the glass was heavily coated with gunk- yeast, protein bits, whatever. But it made me wary- OK, I was slightly frightened. Carbonation started building a head in the bottle before I started the pour.
Look is a moderate mud. Some head. Mostly mud.
Aroma is quite unique. Rich and full, but also some spice that is quite distinctive. I have no idea what the hell it is, but it's distinctive. Almost a menthol-mint Vicks Vapo-Rub kind of thing, but much more pleasant than that sounds.
Flavor is quite tasty- well balanced rich slightly sweet maltiness, a pleasant herb/spice mix. Rich mouthfeel kept me sipping this one before I knew the ABV, and I'm glad of it. Some alcohol burn on the back of my throat.
Generally I like it, but it's a little too rich for my blood. In my world, I would take a Rochefort or something else first, but this is good enough!

From a 330 ml bottle into a chalice.
A-The brew has a unique, reddish-orange-hued brown color...lighter than most quads. It is quite murky. A normal pour produces about one finger of dense, tan head. A thick cap hangs around but leaves no lacing.
S-The smell is sweet and boozy, but not hot or alcoholic smelling. I get some brown sugar and dark, overripe fruit scents.
T-The taste is also sweet and boozy with flavors of overripe fruit, molasses, and rum. There is a little hit of spicy pepper on the finish.
F-The brew is medium-bodied with a little hit of fine carbonation. Between the fine carbonation and the lingering cap of foam, it produces a nice creamy feel.
O-This is a pretty good quad with a unique flavor that tends toward fruit and sugar, instead of fruit, spice, and tobacco flavors. The high ABV is not hidden, but is displayed in a tasteful manner. This brew doesn't compare with my favorite quads, but I would not hesitate to drink this again.

Made a visit to John's Grocery. This was advertised as a "big winter warmer". I get home and see there was only 50 cases of this sent to the U.S. I am pleased some of this found it's way to little old Iowa.
This poured a medium head but I must admit I forced it. The head goes away but leaves nice lace. The beer is very cloudy medium brown.
The nose is very raisin, plum, date or fig.
The taste is rather mild for such a strong beer. Dark fruit with little hops. Sweet with malt and caramel. Lots of stuff going on here. A very distinct and strong finish. Almost like licorice.
The mouthfeel is rather foamy/frothy. Some called this sour. I do not agree. Rather smooth for a strong one. Good drinking.

A - Clear burgundy brew with a medium head, no lacing. Adding the makes it very cloudy with the color of chocolate milk.
S - Dates, cherries, brandy, grapes and raisins.
T - Brandy, dates, pinot grapes and currants. Aftertaste is malty and smooth.
M - Thin, smooth, refreshing in spite of the faint alcohol burn on the finish.
D - A pleasing quad, milder than some, but its flavors are nicely balanced. The alcohol is one fo the main flavors, but it astonishing smooth and pleasant. Worth a try. If I see this on-tap, I doubt I will be able to resist.

Not so pretty for a quad. Offwhite head and a murky brown color don't make much of an impression.
The odor is strong and sweet; nothing too complex going on in there. Sweetness and booze, some raisins can found in there.
The flavor is more of the same. Rum raisin ice cream, maybe.
The mouthfeel makes me think I've just eaten a sweet, chocolate cake, and just washed it down with some cola. RC cola comes to mind.
Not too shabby but there are plenty of brews out there for less money that are easier to get a hold of that I'd pick before this one.

33cl into a tulip. Poured a nearly transparent garnet butterscotch, fairly light. Aggressive pour required for minor head that receded to the surface rather quick, large bubbles at the base of the glass. Nice lacing.
Aroma is not of a quad. Minor dark fruits, predominately light skinned. Strong sweetness, honey.
Taste surprises, a minor phenolic smokiness rides the length of the flavor. Taste is rather simple, lacks complexity. Again, strong sweetness. The aftertaste while lacking definition fades pleasantly. Warmth from alcohol is restrained. Full bodied mouthfeel.

A surprisingly excellent little brew, which I'd never heard of but found at a local store.
Thin, sponge-like head. Muddy orange-brown that ressembles a long island iced tea. Nose is very lightly laced with a peppery feel, not terribly complex but pleasant. Perhaps some pumpkin pie for good measure.
Flavor is much more interesting, oddly enough. Bitter mango skins, a slight roasty flavor, and grilled fruit move along in a sweeping and disturbingly apocolyptic finish -- that is, in the sense that it really cleans itself up nicely.
The 12% abv is nearly completely hidden in this beer, especially compared to other such large beers. Absolutely a delight to drink. I think this is kind of an "easy" but pleasant Belgian.

I've lived here 3.5 years and can't complain. This place is unmatched and I have searched on multiple occasions to see if I can find anything better. No luck. It's an amazing place with more amenities than anyone needs. The worst thing I've seen happen is some lazy tenant deliberately clogged the garbage shoot. The staff had it fixed in a day. There's a reason the occupancy rate of this 350-unit complex is over 98% right now.

This has been the worst managed building I have ever lived in. The building has been sold since we moved in, and the new owners idea of building management is a team of "stipperella's" with 6 inch platform heels that have no clue how to manage a property, the rights of tenants, or legally how they are supposed to keep personal information. Several times now they have reached out to our emergency contacts in no emergency, misplaced our mail and packages, and broken tenant right laws. Today is the icing on the cake. We were walking down our halway to see a letter to our unit WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION on the ground in the hallway several doors down from our unit. It seems they have yet again misplaced something in our file and require us to immediatly replace it. Repairs do not get fixed.. . that pool, hot tub and BBQ pits that they show you on the tour.. . .don't get your hopes up that you might actually get to use those while living here. If you love having the full building fire alarm go off for 10 minutes at a time once a week, you may find this place charming. If that is the case, you will just LOVE the gate alarms thet they let go off all night on a regular basis when the gates that give you access to come and go from the building break.. . again.. . and again.. . .and yet again. Needless to say, they have totally mised the fact that "luxury" living has a customer service aspect to it whihc should include proper repairs and care for the building, and a management office that can manage the building. Unless you are looking to be talked down to by office staff at every possible encounter for customer service, this place is void of it. DON"T MOVE HERE!

My experience was very bad. Attention in the office is very bad. The manager is always locked in his office with a friend drinking wine and does not serve anyone. Robbery in the parking lot. Much noise and dirt for the construction of the subway line. I do not recommend anyone ever live in that place.

On the outside, it looks like a very nice apartment. The location is convenient to the freeway and the beach. But the inside is poorly kept. 30% of the people living there are Section 8 (low income). Trash are thrown in the stairways and outside the trash chutes. Maintenance is slow to come and half the time never. The office staffs are not friendly. Cars get vandalized. Exercise equipments break down all the time and not fixed in a timely manner. Not recommended.

The first impression of this place is amazing... But over time you notice the many, many terrible flaws. No security(doors are constantly just open or locks broken etc), random people constantly breaking into the jacuzzi / pool area, extremely loud surrounding, fire alarms going off constantly, police coming in all the time, and the security guard treating you as if you were there to please him... we really didnt want to move as it's just expensive and so stressful... but that place was just terrible.

There are so many times while working on my home where it gets hard to remember how far we've come. Maybe I dwell too long on a recent project failure or can't see past the endless to-do list before our basement is really finished. I think it is so important to pause every once and while and reflect on all the things I have accomplished in my home. For a moment I like to forget the items still lingering on the to-do list and just cherish the beauty that is our home right now.
The lovely Aimee, from It's Overflowing, invited me to share my home tour on her blog today. It was a perfect opportunity to wade through photos and reflect on all the projects that make this home ours. I wrote a few words to go with the photos. It might be the first time I really wrote the story of how our home came to be. Nothing can get in the way of a woman on a mission to find a home without settling for good enough…a newborn baby didn't even slow me down. Thankfully, we found a perfect home that we love even more now than the day we bought it.
Please take a moment to check out my home tour. Then, if you are eager for more beautiful home tours, check out the It's Overflowing Home Tours page. Such a great spot for inspiration and to find new-to-you blogs to follow.

Without time concept, it seems like you were doing all the projects and this house tour shows how complete your lovely home has become!! It seems like yesterday you were debating on your was it West Elm chair/ottoman area and it really adds to the room. My favorite piece is that painting tou taped over and painted. It's the focal point for the mantel. I like your mix of DIY, thrift repurposed, mixed with nice pieces and no one can tell which is whic for it flows. What an honor to have your talents showcased!!!
Brooke M says:
This post is a good reminder to me personally because I often feel the same way. My thought is, "OMG, we've been in this house for 3 years and are still not done!" However, every once in a while a friend tells me how great all the work is we have done, and I am reminded, life is not an HGTV show episode–stared and completed in 30 minutes.

Issued on
Wednesday, the report done by independent consulting firm Economic Impact Group
also estimates that the state's 26 active wind farms will further contribute
$1.8bn in economic activity during their initial 20-year power off-take
About 4,000
workers are employed by the industry in Oklahoma which includes manufacturing
and support industries, according to the American Wind Energy Association. Wind
farms pay about $43m annually in property taxes and more than $22m to
"Wind energy
is no longer 'alternative' energy," says Curt Roggow, The Wind Coalition
director for Oklahoma. "It has become a mainstream, reliable and cost-effective
source of energy for the people of Oklahoma."
The report
coincides with a bill passed earlier this month by the state Senate that would
place a three-year moratorium on wind farm construction in the eastern third of
Oklahoma. Supporters say the measure is needed because wind developers are
trampling over the property rights of individuals.
For example,
if a landowner leases land for turbines, this has a negative effect on a
neighboring landowners that does not, they say.
The bill's
fate is uncertain in the lower house. Republican Governor Mary Fallin has been
a strong supporter of the industry.
The first Oklahoma
turbine began spinning in 2003 and more than 3.37GW of generation capacity is
now installed.

TAKING STOCK: Time for a unification?
With the delisting of Damas from Nasdaq Dubai, Eva Fernandes wonders whether the time has come for a unification of the UAE's three stock exchanges…
June 10, 2012 5:59 by Eva Fernandes
As the summer draws close, so too does the potential 'emerging market' upgrade from MSCI. Last summer, after much speculative hullabaloo, the MSCI 'postponed' making a decision by six months, before deciding against the upgrade. With the way things are going, I wouldn't be too surprised if we see a repeat of their actions this summer.
Why? Perhaps, it is best to review the performance of the stock markets here in the UAE. According to the Dubai Financial Market, last year Nasdaq Dubai reported Dh15.7 million in losses. Earlier this month, Damas delisted from Nasdaq Dubai leaving DEPA and DP World as the only listed companies on the exchange. Yikes.
Now, critics have long since questioned the need for three different stock exchanges in the UAE. Nasdaq Dubai is one of the UAE's three stock exchanges, including the Dubai Financial Market and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange-that is probably three capital markets too many for a country the size of the UAE. With Damas' delisting and the upcoming MSCI review, the question of need is all the more pertinent. Has the time come for a unification of the UAE's capital markets?
Of course this is politically charged and controversial question. Yet with the local capital markets underperforming for the past three years, it is one that bares consideration. Let us not forget the choice of a local health company NMC to be listed on the London Stock Exchange rather than Nasdaq Dubai—what does that tell you?
Clearly, there is a need for change. These are sensitive waters I am treading in, but if I was to up the ante, I would ask of the potential of a GCC-wide unification? So maybe I am pushing it, but at the very least standardizing the policies and regulations of GCC capital markets may be a more 'halal' alternative to improving the health of capital markets, especially for countries like the UAE and Qatar hoping for a precious 'emerging markets' upgrade.

People mst hear this song if they are a real fan of As I Lay Dying
One of their best songs from Awakened. Catchy chorus, great guitar solo, good use of acoustic guitar and electric guitar at the start and great fast riffage in the verses! Definitely check it out! Shows progression from 2001 to 2012Listen to sample

SHOCKED to see this song at such a low position... Definitely deserves to be in the best 5 songs of AILD. Please give it a try.
How can this be so low? The guitar in the beginning has one of the best sounds that I've heard in an As I Lay Dying song. The chorus in this song is just as incredible. Certainly deserves to be higher.
This is one of the most awesome pump up songs I know.Listen to sample

Mass. men arrested in Ind. for alleged sex with minor
A Massachusetts man has been arrested in Indiana on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor and child solicitation following a four-year investigation, authorities said.
David M. Walsh, 50, of Devens, was taken into custody Friday nearly four years after he allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old girl he met online, Indiana State Police said in a statement. They said Walsh was able to avoid police using an alias and fake address.
Earlier this month police said they received a tip that Walsh would be in Indiana to meet with the now-18-year-old victim and her family. Police located Walsh in Borden, Ind., on Friday.
Police believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone who has come in contact with Walsh online or in person to call them at 812-246-5424.

Do you have internet friends? Do you consider them real friends?
I have people from CM that I text and chat with on FB. I consider them real friends even though we haven't met IRL.
yes, i consider anyone that interacts with me on a regualr basis that enriches my life & acts as a friend to be a friend.. there are many types of friends the ones who you call, the ones you chat with online, see in person, or just reply & msg on cm.. either way.. its a friend to me i guess.
Yes....and some of them I do consider friends.
Some people here on Cafe mom I have actually become "real" friends as they live in my area.
Not so much anymore. i have people that i know IRL that i talking to almost exclusively via text or facebook because of distance or schedules but for the most part i know everyone in person that i talk to online.
I have many internet friends and email friends. I consider all of them real friends.

Propylene Carbonate (PC) is used in isocyanate (PMDI) wood binders and adhesives, urethane coatings, elastomers, lithium batteries, cosmetics, synthetic fibers and household cleaners.
It is also used in personal care, agricultural and textile applications.
LyondellBasell is discontinuing the use of Arcosolv and Arconate trademarks effective September 1, 2014. The chemical and physical properties of the products, product quality, manufacturing process and the manufacturing sites under these trademarks will not change as a result of this project. We will be working over the coming months to update our MSDSs and technical service literature to reflect this change. Please contact your LyondellBasell Account Manager to answer any questions you may have.
PC is compatible with isocyanates and is used as a reactive diluent to reduce cost and to improve handling and processing properties in a variety of applications. A more recently discovered application for propylene carbonate is in rechargeable lithium batteries. Eighty percent of a rechargeable lithium battery is a filler, which is propylene carbonate. PC also has numerous applications in the textile and synthetic fiber industries which utilize its outstanding solvency and reactivity.
PC is a polar solvent with a high boiling point, low order of toxicity, and a broad range of applications. PC is stable under most conditions, is neither hygroscopic nor corrosive, and offers several benefits over many other cleanup solvents in the marketplace.

The AIMBE Scholars Program enables distinguished postdoctorates in the medical and biomedical engineering fields to serve as expert advisors to policymakers. With placements in Congress and the Executive Branch, AIMBE Scholars work side-by-side with the most influential decision makers in Washington. Scholars inform public policy through their knowledge of the latest cutting-edge research and technological innovations. Scholars receive training about the federal policy process (including budget, regulatory, and grant processes) and build relationships with key government stakeholders. AIMBE facilitates the Scholars experience throughout the program year. Some biomedical engineers participating in the AIMBE Scholars Program return to their academic, faculty, or industry careers–with greater understanding of the connections between public policy and translational science–while others go on to build new careers in public policy.
The AIMBE Scholars Program is a highly competitive program, consisting of one-year immersion experiences from September 1 to August 31, in Congress or the Executive Branch. Possible placements include: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and offices within the House and Senate. Scholars are provided with a $70,000 stipend, as well as an allowance to attend scientific conferences. The program includes a two-week orientation to science policy, as well as monthly professional development seminars with guest speakers.
Scholars with placements in the Executive Branch may help develop and formulate new programs and initiatives related to biomedical engineering, lead interagency task forces and advisory panels on STEM, as well as contribute to the grant review process of high risk, high reward scientific proposals. Scholars with placements in Congress may draft legislation to help scientific discoveries reach the marketplace, advise top policymakers on funding for biomedical research, and inform the science policy agendas of the nation's leaders.
Applicants to the AIMBE Scholars Program must hold a PhD-level degree in biomedical or biological engineering or a related field, be a U.S. citizen, and have an excellent record of achievement. Applications require: (1) a Statement of interest (1,000 word maximum) that describes the applicant's background and qualifications for the program, basis for interest in the program, including policy areas or issues of interest and skills to be acquired, and career goals, including how the program would support those goals; (2) a current C.V.; and (3) three letters of recommendation.
The call for applications is currently closed for the 2014-2015 program year. The call for applications will reopen in fall 2014 for the 2015-2016 program year.
The AIMBE Scholars Program
• Ensures that distinguished postdoctorates share the latest advances in medical and biological engineering with federal agencies, such as NIH and FDA.
• Exposes the next generation of industry leaders to public policy. The marketplace will benefit from scientific and industry leaders who know the ins-and-outs of government policymaking.
• Offers corporate partners unique access to rising leaders in the medical and biomedical fields. Corporate partners engage with AIMBE Scholars throughout the program-year. They participate in candidate selection, co-host monthly seminars, and have the availability to sponsor visits to their lab or headquarters.
• Increases the use of science in public policy decisions. AIMBE Scholars put forth knowledge about the science that helps guide policy decisions.
• Enables corporate partners to develop long-term relationships with AIMBE Scholars, who will go on to careers in industry, government (such as FDA) or research.

Crystal Reed attended the BAFTA LA TV Tea Party 2013 presented by BBC America and Audi held at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California yesterday evening.
The 'Teen Wolf' actress maybe a relative red carpet newbie, but she seems to have developed a love for all things Carolina Herrera. This is her third look by the designer within a month.
She wore a navy pre-Fall 2013 wave pattern jacquard party dress featuring grosgrain bow-accented straps, a high squared neck, a drop waist, and pleating at the skirt. The look was styled with black pumps.
You may remember that the First Lady, Michelle Obama, wore this same dress back in June.

John Searcy started his battery business out of the back of his truck in spring 1950. He opened an official storefront in 1952, naming it Interstate Battery System after the new network of interstate highways that was under construction across the country. Over the next 60 years, his company expanded to all 50 states, as well as Australia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. Each Interstate All Battery Center location—as well as the company's online database—houses an extensive selection of batteries for cars, electronics, household items, and computers. They also collect power sources for security systems, medical equipment, and other niche devices. Many of their batteries come with a 45-day satisfaction warranty, though it doesn't cover batteries stolen by siblings to power their Game Boys.
