I don't know what games you're supposed to play with your Barbies — fashion shows or date nights maybe? Mine only played "going to college."
All of my Barbie furniture, including the pink locker that came with the Gym Set (pic included because the web is a magical place to surf) was appropriated to furnish Barbie's dorm room.
I'm not sure what I thought college was, but if it was anything like these pictures, the mythos was not misplaced.
Also, vintage Apple.
(Though…he's accepting that he wants to be a farmer? A pony? This point I am less clear on.)
For all your Continental and Ivy League suit needs.
It's like staring at two eras, destined for extinction but not yet. One clinging for life, leashing itself to a seemingly more viable host, hoping to hang on for just a little while longer.
It's an instant snapshot of future fate from the past. An eclipse yet to come.
Also, Sporty Spice. That is all.
Spice Girls Polaroid camera. But why?
Much like I don't like books or movies the first time through, food is always better in reprise, too. If toast is my favorite food, "leftovers" is my second favorite.
(I managed to cook the whole shebang without consulting the internet OR the momternet. Weird. This surely must be a milestone of Butterball proportions.)

This week take time to celebrate well, November 17th: Wise Owl Day.
"Come live with me in a hollow tree, little Owl," said the Big Brown Bear.
"Though it's cold as ice, we'll be warm and nice with the two of us living there."
But the Owl said as he shook his head, "Mr. Bear, that will never do."
"For if I know my name, when the springtime came, there'd be nobody left but you."
Wise Little Owl! exclamation mark included, is the November 17th poem from The Golden Book of 365 Stories, the story/poem/rip off (Oh Mommy ! I'll be the only one wearing a rain coat and rubbers!) a-day book that was read in our house conservatively 17 times.
That owl gets smarter and smarter, the older I get.

Well, kids. Just because I'm in the swamp, doesn't mean that you all shouldn't be amused.
Okay! Here you are then.
Left: That would be an actual legit Glamour Shot circa 1994. Even better, it was taken thanks to a coupon for a free sitting that I got at cheer camp. Yep, it just gets cooler and cooler, don't it?
Right: Exactly twice as old, just in a different costume, one that I will be wearing a week from today at the promotion board. Hence, part of the swamped.
Somehow side-by-side it's like a photographic pitch for an updated Major Dad, one with a rebellious daughter in an 80s throwback band. That, or there's really no good explanation.
Hoot at will.
So the sad Kirk Cameron Subway shindig that allegedly wasn't so sad?
If you haven't seen Listen to Me on the original vintage VHS, you cannot judge.
It's a movie about a college debate team circa 1989, which not even the author of its very own wikipedia page cares to note centered around the fact that scholarship-kid Kirk Cameron was so poor in high school that he had RICKETS.
That was the disease they picked. In almost the 90s. Rickets.
But wait! There's more!
The team eventually wins a chance to debate the issue of abortion in front of the Supreme Court. Along the way, the students learn lessons about life, love, friendship, and politics.
Abortion. In front of the Supreme Court.
I dabbled in debate in a college where the only championships painted on the side of our athletic bus were: Women's Basketball, 1992; and Debate [all the rest of the years].
It is, therefore, the greatest sports film of all time.
Call it The Great Memorial 'Lil Tykes Coupe list. No matter how fortunate your childhood (and mine was) there are those things you PINED for and never got. The unrequited wants.
For whatever silly reason, they were the toys your friends had that you coveted, the things you schemed your allowance toward and never saved enough, or they were just too fleeting, too trendy to be deemed a real need. I NEVER GOT A COUPE. This kid is so lucky.
Clearly, you survived.
That doesn't mean that looking back on them doesn't paint a real clear picture of how awesome it coulda been…
Call me! The Swatch twin phone — not only do you have your own phone jack in your ROOM, but two of you can talk at the same time attached by a cord! Think of the important business you could conduct. On your landline. (Related: Europe must be single-handedly keeping Swatch ticking. It's everywhere.)
Guess who? My rear end never had a triangle on it, but not for lack of trying, every Back-to-School shopping trip from 89-92. My rear end just never fit in the things. Acid-washed sighs.
Freeze Frame! It was the 80s. It wasn't enough to have a phone or a camera — they had to contain the pink-teal-lavender-yellow-PEACH palette. And some faux-Esprit french, right Le Clic?
I'll Be in My Office… A loft bed with a desk under it? COME ON. It's second only to a secret passage. Hi, Webster. This childhood deprivation will get taken out on nieces and nephews, mark my words and sign for the delivery.
Put Your Foot Down and Drive… You can't have a Coupe list without showing the progression (psychological damage?) of what such disappointment can do to your taste in cars forever. This is the only vehicle I've ever wanted. It's a 1990 Geo Metro. It is the closest thing to a toy the DMV will allow on the road.
In retrospect, it's not so much a list, as an autobiography…

Everyone who knows I wrote The Wilder Life has been asking me if I know this is coming out:
Full House:
You give yourself away, so cheaply, to anyone who looks in your direction. It saddens me. It enrages me. It disgusts me. It's hard to imagine why I ever wanted you at all.

We are all reared in a traditional belief that what we get to eat at home is, by virtue of that location, better than what we get to eat anywhere else. The expression, "home-cooking," carries a connotation of assured excellence, and the popular eating-house advertises "pies like those your mother used to make," as if pie-making were a maternal function. Economy, comfort, and health are supposed to accompany our domestic food supply, and danger to follow the footsteps of those who eat in a hotel, a restaurant, or a boarding house.

Tag: sea level
Are you worried about a threat from sea-level rise this hurricane season?
- 10:30 am Thursday, June 5th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Hurricane season is here. And with it, the requisite storm forecasts and predictions of how many of these terrible weather events might actually manifest off our shores.
Forecasters are calling for a below-average hurricane season. But in a nod to the ever-changing climate, Colorado State University raised its numbers a tick to 10 named storms, with four becoming hurricanes and one of those reaching "major" hurricane status.
But as Floridians go about their storm season preparations, they should also start paying more attention to another set of predictions that an increasing number of scientists are signing onto: flood risk from rising sea [More]
Do you believe that sea levels will rise 3 feet by 2100?
- 2:09 pm Tuesday, August 20th, 2013 by Opinion Staff

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which with Al Gore shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, has issued its latest report on global warming and climate change.
The report, which The New York Times made public Tuesday, predicts that if the level of greenhouse gases does not drop dramatically, sea levels could rise by as much as 3 feet during this century.
The panel is composed of many scientists, most of whom believe that the Earth [More]

Hand-made Swords - Dagfinnr - Day Finder
- Swordsmith: Jake Powning
The blade on this sword is a composite pattern welded construction of two 9 layer interupted twist bars with a 700 layer folded edge strand running around the cutting edge. It is forged of 1075/8670m and has a subtle blue sheen.
The hilt is carved with runic inscriptions which call on the elements: isa, brisingr, jostr, orindi - ice, fire, yeast, breath. Carved on the hilt, grip and scabbard are the ancient symbols of the dragons heart, the sacred goal of every dragon slayer.

Printable View
Myself and @ashman91 are applying...me for the manager, him for the tech :) Would be nice to work together again! :)
Ahhh the lady on the phone said both were available...
Used to work there quite a few years ago when I first started out in IT. Nice school. Posh kids. Nice location just outside Bedford. Split site when i was there. Would have considered it myself if it was another 10k.
After travel etc its a nice pay increase from my old school and its not too far from where I live which is a bonus.
Are they saying they would like an ICT Technician to work as a manager?Quote:
We would like to appoint an experienced ICT technician who has the ability to take on a managerial role (Level 4). If you are interested in working in this area but do not yet feel you are ready for a managerial role,
they would like a tech to see if he has the gumption to step up ;)
Ahhhh Fair play. Good luck to who ever gets the job :)
strange way of advertising a role
My sister in law went there 6 years ago and said it was rough as hell, now it looks to be nice and polished! :)
He said his old School - not current. I think Neph is on a contract at the moment.

Ed. Dept. to Arizona on Stimulus: Not So Fast
A fraud alert triggered by Arizona prompted federal education officials to start asking questions about how the state planned to spend its stimulus money.
A fraud alert triggered by Arizona prompted federal education officials to start asking questions about how the state planned to spend its stimulus money.
Deficits, pressure to spend quickly, and murky guidance have led states and school districts to use stimulus money to save jobs and bolster existing programs, a Government Accountability Office Report says.
By guest blogger Erik Robelen: Better read this fast and start commenting. The Education Department this afternoon released draft guidance offering more details on the waivers states and districts may seek from Title I requirements as they spend the $10 billion made available under the economic-sti...
The Education Secretary took on some of the prized benefits of being a teacher: tenure, the salary schedule, and union protection.
This chunk of the stabilization fund is meant to help out states as they face increasing budget pressures.
Texas and Wyoming are among the eight states that still haven't submitted their stabilization fund applications.
Another stimulus package could very possibly be Coming Soon to a Congress Near You, at least if Warren Buffett has his way.
In a head-to-head match-up, Arne Duncan's student-aid announcement loses to the South Carolina governor's announcement of his South American escapade.
The White House Office of Management and Budget last night released guidance for states on how to calculate the impact of stimulus dollars, including how recovery dollars are being spent and how many jobs have been saved. You can read the guidance for yourself here. One state official I talked to ...
The AP's Libby Quaid has an interesting story about how Education Secretary Arne Duncan has put in writing a threat we've heard before: that if states play shell games with the economic-stimulus money intended to help stabilize their budgets, they may be at a competitive disadvantage when it comes t...

5 for Friday: Professional Skills Development Edition
By monsterstaff | December 28, 2012
- MBA Internships: How to Avoid Job Search Disaster. Source: "Don't be afraid to approach folks from your target companies and chat with them," Stacy Blackman advises. "Research has shown that employers are more likely to hire the people they like and trust than those who are most supremely qualified."
- Want That Promotion? Practice Your Job. Wall Street Journal: "Success in knowledge work requires more than simply showing up early, staying late, and responding quickly to every email. True standouts systematically develop rare and valuable skills."
- Take Planning Your Career to the Next Step. Blogging4Jobs: "If you haven't made a plan for what you'd like to be doing in the next five years, the next ten years, or by the end of your career, you may be missing out on great opportunities. It's very tempting to float from one opportunity to another, climbing the corporate ladder as opportunities approach, but this approach may land you in a position you hate."
- How to Lead When You're Not Assertive. Career Rocketeer: "Assertiveness is a required skill in management, yet it is a tricky one to consider developing if you don't possess it. The reason it is a tricky skill to develop is because it is so intimately linked to our personality driven by years of reinforced belief about how we should act."
- Room at the Top: Position Yourself for a Move to Management. U.S. News and World Report: "[S]tart acting like the leader you want to be. Volunteer to head up a task force or project. "Management is always happy with someone who says, 'I want more,' " says Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, cofounder of SixFigureStart, an executive coaching firm in New York City."

Statement by Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action, on the resignation of Yvo de Boer
"Yvo de Boer has made an impressive and tireless effort in favour of the climate change agenda during his years as Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. With his great knowledge and his huge capacity, he was a solid support for Denmark prior to and during the Climate Change Conference in December. Personally, I have always greatly appreciated Yvo de Boer; his engagement and his sharp tongue. Not always a perfect diplomat, but Yvo de Boer has throughout the years played a key role in communicating the importance of the climate change agenda to world leaders and populations."

Valentine's Day may be past (for this year anyway) but thoughts of love between the living and the undead remain in the hearts and imaginations of many. Let us look back upon what couples, struggling with the challenges of such a relationship, have most grabbed out attention.
In no particular order...
Edward and Bella ("Twilight"), no matter what your opinion of the books or films, have certainly struck millions of chords. Nor, despite some disparaging remarks, are they all with teenaged girls. One matter that perhaps makes the story so compelling is that Bella remains the protagonist while being by far the least powerful character, at least overtly. All she has is her courage and her love, yet this proves sufficient.
Hoyt and Jessica ("True Blood"), unusually, are one of the few couples with the genders reversed from what we expect. The vampire is a girl, with a human boyfriend. Jessica's youth among the undead (less than a year) no doubt helps make them utterly adorable. Travails yet face them, not least a dragon of a mother who would no doubt loathe with a homicidal fury any girl her son chose rather than allowed be chosen for him.
Spike and Buffy ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") arose from the chemistry between actors, and Joss Whedon allowed it to become one of the most dynamic, tempestuous love affairs in his universe. Truth to tell, other couples had a hard time competing! The ultimate bad boy vampire and the reluctant, brilliant slayer of vampires--they made quite a couple. Their last words likewise summed up much of what made their story so compelling.
Prince Vlad and Elizabeta ("Bram Stoker's Dracula") took what was in many ways a tired stereotype and made it work via sheer enthusiasm. Those of a mind to ended up mesmerized as Mina Murray, sipping absinthe, began to vaguely recall her previous life while the cursed man who "crossed oceans of time to find" her watched, enraptured. Heady stuff!
Abby and Owen ("Let Me In") deserves some kind of award for most touching yet disturbing vampire/human love affair ever. Chloe Grace Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee shone as two desperate, lonely children who fell in love--one of them forever trapped that age, a monster who never stopped being a sad little girl. What might their future hold? What could it? Therein lies all the hope and tragedy we can summon.
Bill and Sookie ("True Blood") seem more a couple in the HBO series than they do in the books upon which it is based, maybe in part because the performers involved fell in love. Despite many the call for Sookie to link up with former Viking Eric, as of this writing the troubled love affair between the telepathic waitress and the (justifiably) guilt-ridden Civil War vet with fangs remains at the heat of the show. And fans continue to lap it up!
Carmilla and Laura ("Carmilla") continue to focus debate on whether they even are a couple. Are they lovers? Do they love? If so, is it one sided? Almost a dozen adaptations, each with their own answer, but the fact the book remains in print 130 years after its publication remains testimony to how readers respond. Film versions vary from "Blood and Roses" to "The Vampire Lovers" to the upcoming "Styria."
Henry and Vicky ("Blood Ties") sadly lasted only one season, but garnered a devoted fan following. The unresolved sexual tension between this charming undead lothario and the no-nonsense female detective who fascinated him helped bring delicious spice to some stories that frankly sometimes veered off in the direction of "Charmed." Like their "True Blood" counterparts, this pair had a third wheel and like such dynamics that work, he was someone we could care about. In this case, though, he was neither vampire nor werewolf but simply a man Vicky trusted and loved. All the more intriguing that Henry could temp her heart away.
Josette and Barnabas ("Dark Shadows") is a story told several times with different casts. Coming up will be Johnny Depp opposite (evidently) Bella Harcourte. Byronic gentleman cursed by a spurned woman, finding his true love again after a wait of centuries. Done right, it won literally generations of fans. Come next year the cycle may start all over again.
Frederic and Jennifer ("Lips of Blood") make up the heart of what many regard as the late Jean Rollin's vampiric masterpiece. Frederic is a lonely young man in Paris, haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he met as a child in an abandoned castle. His mother insists it was indeed a dream--but then he sees the castle in a photograph on a friend's wall. Thus begins a quest to find that girl, who still waits for him, unaging, to be at long last set free. The budget for the entire film might buy a small house, but the images and story remain unique--and uniquely perverse.
Some folks might complain about couples omitted. Lestat and Louis, for example--although they are both vampires so it doesn't really count. Or maybe Cindy Sondhein with Count Dracula in "Love At First Bite," Ingrid and her boyfriend in "Young Dracula," Elena and the brothers in "The Vampire Diaries." Feel free to offer your own list!

Air Jordan 13 – Dwyane Wade Heat PE
January 29th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 5 comments
Sure Ray Allen is the current king of Air Jordan exclusives as far as the Heat are concerned, but Dwyane Wade had those colors on lock while Mr. Shuttlesworth was still out in Boston. There's this Air Jordan 13 for example, one that ends up looking not too far off from a certain OG colorway save for the yellow touches gripping the outsole. Oh, and there's that awesome "Flash 3″ embroidery on the tongues that alludes to Wade's nickname borrowed from a certain superhero. See more on the shoes with us after the break and then check out the chance to own this rarity from phyuck_yo_kixx on eBay.
These are some of the hardest Jordan 13 p.e. joints.
Those are nice... I'd cop those... Got dat Bentley Ellis 9 cw
You're celebrating that big WIN I see lol
Yes sir... Thunder up bruh

Hi all not joined ephotozine long ago!
anyway here's my website
Let me know what you think
A clear and concise website Chris, uncomplicated, fresh and easy to navigate.
I do like your home page, so simple yet has a very professional feel to it making you want to check every page, buy the way they are worth viewing, rather than move on to another site.
Good luck for the future.
thanks alot
Really am grateful for the feedback
I'm at the minute looking to pack the day job in ... so thats another boost to that lol
Well laid-out and easy to navigate, so seems to tick all the boxes there. Not sure about the large red area on the left of the screen. Not so bad on the colour shots, but on the BW the red seems to dominate the screen to me. perhaps make it smaller, or a less vibrant colour?
It might just be me, but I find centred text on a screen difficult to scan. Perhaps left aligned as normal?
The 'about me' is pretty good, for an amateur site. Is that what you are pitching it at? If you are more into the pro (your portfolio here says semi-pro) side of things, it could be a little more 'business like'. Would a pro client really need to know about your first camera?
I had to laugh at shot #8 in the wedding section (overhead shot of the group) Did you deliberately leave your pint on the patio?
You have some very good images - like the man getting on the bus.
A very nicely laid out site.
Just two very minor things....
On the Portraiture/Children page you have a sentence that reads "Why risk forgetting them special moments...?" I would change this so it reads "Why risk forgetting those special moments...?".
This reads better and maintains the quality of your page.
Similarly on the "About Me" page you have "My first ever camera purchased was with the sole intent to capture them special moments of Ruby's life.". I would also replace "them" with "those" for the same reason.
Everything else seems problem free.
first nice looking site
as a web designer i run it on Yslow you ranked 60 with a grade D should be around 90+ grade A
on Smushit you can save 360kb of wasted bandwith (images could be smaller in size fast viewing)
on Woorank you score 30 (40-50) is ok
on W3c you have 350 Errors, 485 warning(s) Should be none
so from the back it is very bad all of these need to be sorted for page ranking and spider crawling.
so if you made it back to the pc to solve them, or to beat your web designer about the head for not doing there job
There's an easy performance win. Switch on or ask your dev to switch on gzip compression. Costs nothing an will improve the overall network load. Also, if you can add expiry rules to .htaccess this will also improve the scoring. Obviously an A grade is ideal but excellent sites such as ePhotozine don't even manage that. Sure you can get an A for simple, mostly text sites but don't break your back for the it as you and your users will probably find little real world difference. You should be able to get up to B for not too much effort (90% is a B). Start with the biggies but the simplies such as gzip and expires as suggested. Then see where you are.

"Shall the Board of Education of Monticello Community Unit School District No. 25, in Piatt, DeWitt and Champaign Counties, Illinois, acquire, construct and install a project to acquire the site for and construct a new high school, construct renovations to the existing high school and Washington elementary school and close out White Heath and Lincoln elementary buildings, and related fixtures, equipment, facilities, improvements and costs, and issue bonds of such School District to the amount of $40,000,000 for such purpose?"
A full bond sale is estimated to cost the owner of a property with a market value of $100,000 at most $190 in new taxes. If approved a New Monticello High School would be constructed, elementary students would be combined onto one campus, and Lincoln and White Heath Schools would be closed out and re-purposed. The Board has four priorities for this project going forward (1) enhance/maintain current programming at all grade levels, (2) build on a school site close to town, (3) retain the elements of traditional school construction, and (4) enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the district through green technologies.

School Site Scenarios near MHS
"Shall a retailers' occupation tax and a service occupation tax (commonly referred to as a "sales tax") be imposed in The County of Piatt, Illinois, at a rate of 1% to be used exclusively for school facility purposes?"
The Monticello CUSD #25 approved the Sales Tax question for the November 4 election. School districts in Bement, Cerro Gordo, Blue Ridge, and Atwood-Hammond-Arthur-Lovington also approved resolutions in support of the sales tax for school facilities. Approval of a sales tax for Piatt County School Facilities would generate an estimated $400,000 annually for Monticello Schools and would be used to reduce the impact of the property increase from the New High School by $40-$50. An informational meeting was hosted in February 2014 about the County School Facility Sales Tax (CSFST). The presentation on the tax was made by Kevin Heid of Stifel Nicolas. Twenty-one counties in Illinois have implemented the tax including Macon, Champaign, Shelby, and Douglas Counties. A majority vote of the county would implement a 1% additional sales tax to be distributed to county school districts based on enrolled students. Dollars from the tax could only be used for facility improvements, maintenance, upgrades, new facilities, or paying off debt for these facilities. The dollars cannot be used for personnel, supplies, or textbooks. The current tax rate in Piatt County is 6.25%, while Macon and Champaign Counties rates are over 9%. The additional 1% sales tax does not apply to vehicles, farm equipment, farm inputs, prescriptions, or food from the grocery stores. If an item is not currently taxed it will not be taxed if the CSFST is adopted. Please see below for the presentation and a video on the County School Facility Sales Tax.
Informational Sales Tax and Bond Flyer
Informational Sales Tax Presentation
We are working with our community to continue the conversation on the future of school facilities for Monticello CUSD #25. A series of community-wide conversations was held this spring that provided information and discussion about the possibilities, options, and ideas on the table for our school buildings. We have big decisions to make and we heard the voices of the communities that make up our school district. In the fall, the district led the effort to bring the conversation to the community through business leader meetings, faculty and staff discussions, a community-wide meeting, a district-wide survey, and by providing information on district media. From that effort emerged a set of questions that needed answers this spring prior to gaining community consensus on the direction that our school district should pursue. SAGE VOICES was the name selected for the second phase of community engagement. SAGE VOICES was led by a facilitating group that includes community members, school teachers, and school administrators. A FINAL REPORT was made to the School Board on July 16 that included the results of the survey completed in June. The School Board has approved placing two questions on the November 4 ballot.
Each year, Voya selects 100 finalists to receive a $2,000 award, while three of them are selected as Top Winners to receive additional grants.
According to Voya's Unsung Heroes Website, Jennifer "Smith's innovative teaching idea, 'Sages in 3D,' is designed to strengthen students' understanding of all aspects of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts through hands-on experiences using 3D printers. The program will enable students to learn how to create and build prototypes and create designs using 3D printers. Students will improve their problem solving skills as they navigate the use of new, cutting edge technology. Students will also be encouraged to create manipulatives and models using the 3D printer as a way to increase not only their understanding of scientific concepts, but also their understanding of the potential of 3D printing. In order to help the middle school students identify practical applications for 3D printing, they will create manipulatives that the teachers and students will use throughout the district's middle school classrooms. Through this project, students will directly see how technology can positively impact the future. They will also be encouraged and challenged to build creatively and critically."

*So, whatever happened in 1970, one wonders
A theory: In 1970:s was the first serious oil crisis. One thing it meant was that the companies that felt the shocks, part from decreasing their dependencies from oil, which wasn't that important in the US, probably increased the speed of automation and thus decreased the need for people in the production. At least they got an argument for speeding up yhe automation. In e g Sweden 1970:s are known for the period when the number of employees in the production economy peaked. In other words it was then we in Sweden entered the service society. Another thing that happened was that the US started to print money in an unprecedend scale which most likely fuelled the process of financialization where the gravity of the economy in a serious way shifted from a production base to a base of finance. I think what we see in this graph the effect of increased automation multiplied with the effects of increased financialization.
The Most Important Economic Chart
The chart shows that productivity, or output per hour of work, has quadrupled since 1947 in the United States. This is a spectacular achievement by an advanced economy.
The gains in productivity were quite widely shared from 1947 to 1980. Real income for the median U.S. family doubled during this time just as output per hour of work performed doubled. The rising tide was lifting all boats.
However, what we want to focus on today is the remarkable separation in productivity and median real income since 1980. While the United States is producing twice as much per hour of work today compared to 1980, a small part of the gain in real income has gone to the bottom half of the income distribution. The gap between productivity and median real income is at an historic all-time high today.

Adding Words To A Painting For A Meaningful Message
Remember when I shared our
possessed painting that jumped off the wall cheap painting that we got for $20 at a yard sale…
… and mentioned that we:
- mostly liked the size of it and the chunky frame (which actually came with a little dent in it – a total sign that this guy was a trouble-maker)
- weren't in love with the art itself (it just felt sort of generic and hotel-ish in person)
Yes? Me too.
And then remember when a bunch of you (seriously, like at least a dozen of you guys) recommended that we do some sort of letter stenciling over it like this genius creation by Emily Von Henderson or this masterpiece by A Beautiful Mess (psst – you can check out other awesome painting-words-over-things art projects here, here, and here).
Yes? Me too.
Well… we were sold. And the deed is DONE! We debated just leaving the letters unpainted and covering the rest of the canvas with white paint, but actually liked the idea of white letters with the painting as the background, so here she blows:
It was actually really simple. Seriously, the hardest thing was deciding what we wanted our dining room wall to be saying to us every day. But we finally landed on an oldie but a goodie: All You Need Is Love. Ain't that the truth? It somehow has:
- an ode to one of my favorite bands (my dad and I know nearly every word to every album & even watch old Beatles movies together)
- part of our blog name (same last name, haha)
- a positive general message (it's not a bad reminder for any of us)
- a classic feeling that we hope is timeless (it shouldn't feel "so last year" like Lady Gaga's meat dress or The Bieb's old haircut)
So for all of the above reasons, we went for it. The next step was faking this baby in photoshop first, just to help us picture it. Here's a quick photoshop rendering that I threw together to see what we liked:
I definitely don't think you need photoshop to visualize this though. We just had it on hand, but if you don't I think a free program like gimp could work equally well just for laying type over a basic image and seeing what fries your bacon. Aaaand we're back to meat.
Anyway, we realized that we wanted each letter to be about 5″ tall and the typeface we preferred was Optima Bold (with a point size of 507 which got it to be exactly 5″ tall). How did we know we needed the letters to be 5″ tall? I just noticed in the rendering above that the stripe of green in the middle of the painting was about the height of those letters on top of it. So I walked over to the painting, asked it not to jump off the wall on me, and very gingerly measured that green stripe. Five inches tall = the answer.
Then I printed each letter out in a very light grayscale ink (to save money/ink) on card stock (only one letter fit on each page, but I saved all my leftover cuttings for Clara-projects so it wasn't too bad) and I was left with this:
After I cut them each out carefully with a scissors (and an x-acto knife when they had interior sections to cut like the O and the D), they looked like this:
Then I placed them all on my painting so I could figure out the spacing…
… and used a light pencil line traced around each one directly onto the painted canvas.
That way when I lifted them off it was literally just a good old fashioned game of fill-in-the-lines, which I did with white acrylic paint and a small craft brush.
It only took one coat, and that's all she wrote.
The result = something that feels modern but still has those soft tones and texture behind it. It really is a fun way to update a piece that kinda feels hotel-ish and mass produced. All of a sudden it's all yours (picking what it says, and even choosing things like the size, the color, and the typeface suddenly makes you feel like it's sweet and personal).
Oh and I had originally planned to paint the frame white but the wood tones in the frame tie into the exact warm oak-y color of the buffet where the paint is chipping off, so there's something kind of sweet about leaving him naked. And John was on the No-Paint Frame Train (choo choo) so he further convinced me to leave it be for now. I'm actually loving it as-is.
As for the cost, this update was free (since we just used what we had on hand like existing printer ink, white acrylic paint, and card stock from our stash) and the actual project total was $20 if you include the loot we doled out at that yard sale for the art itself. Not bad for a personalized painting that's over three feet wide, right? Now let's just hope this guy doesn't dive off the wall again anytime soon. I like to think he did that out of boredom but now that he's more entertained by his outfit it'll be cool from now on.
This really was an easy, cheap, and satisfying project. So if you have an old canvas, print, photo, or poster that you're feeling meh about (or you find something ok-but-not-amazing at a thrift store) a $2 tube of white acrylic paint, a small paint brush, and a printer might be all you need to fall in love with the guy. Oh yeah and a scissors. You need those too. And you need a sentence that you like enough to stare at for a while. But that's the fun part!
What did you guys do this weekend? Is anyone else painting over art? Were you all out yard sale-ing? It rained for about 70% of our weekend, so I totally want a do-over. Who's with me?

Well done! I really like this idea. But I am curious as to why you traced and then painted the letters, instead of printing in white and gluing what you already had? I assume it just makes it more of a fun project and painterly.
you are brilliant!!! love…love….love it!
I have a "meh" flea market painting just SHOUTING to have some words painted on top of it. GENIUS. Thank you!
what a great idea! it looks really good.
This is Brilliant! Really love this! Huge Beatles fan :)
Love this! It works really well with the fuzzy, generic background. See, hotel art IS good for something!
I did the same project (different saying, though) back in June:
very very nice. The painting itself was "okay" but adding the text == and something that is personally connected to you == was pure genius.
It looks great! I love the sentiment, too.
Love it! We have a framed print in our living room that says "All they need is love."
It was actually a shoeboox lid from a pair of Joe's Jeans shoes that I ordered. We loved the color and the font so much that we cut it out and framed it. Hooray for free/cheap art!
I totally took a Pinterest challenge and DIY'ed a purple and white chevron rug. Definitely can't deny that you guys influenced me. So thanks!
I LOVE IT!!! I actually liked the painting, it just seemed calm to me, so this was the perfect addition to the piece.
We did some house work, some yard work {until a big spider was on my arm and I was done then. No worries, I didn't get bite but it was the size of a quarter with it's legs. OMG} and then we even went to a small classic car show down the block from our house. Oh and we sold a rocker/reclincer that we didn't have any use for anymore to a first time mom that is going to put it in her nursery. Made us all warm and fuzzy that it was going to a good home with a super cute and like-able couple. ;)
This is wonderful! Now if that wooden mallard would just fly the coop already the whole room would really "Come Together."
No way! The duck is duckin' awesome!
Beautiful! Next time, though, you might find it easier to transfer the letters (or an image) the way artists do… using good ol' fashioned carbon paper. Saves you the time cutting out all those letters, you can just trace them! ;)
You can also use pencil lead and then trace the letter, leaving the lead on your painting…I do it all the time!
Love it!!! Now I need to find some art to do this too.
That's lovely. I'm not usually a fan of word art on walls, but this is really cool looking and a great way to update that old painting!
I need to do this very soon!
Cute idea! I want to do something similar with marker and rhinestones on an old painting.
this is rad.
Love the pic! It is such a great update to a previously boring painting. It kind of reminds me of an articipe. (Who I'm waiting very patiently from them to start accepting custom orders again. I have a christmas present plotted for my mommy. :) )
I spent all weekend being lazy. I just couldn't motivate myself off the couch for anything except plans I had already committed to. I will pay for this tongiht in grocery shopping and laundry. :(
It looks great. I'm definitely a Beatles fan (well, I'm English, and I think that it's actually illegal to not like them). My kids love watching A Hard Day's Night – I bet Clara would too.
As for our weekend, we're getting the house ready to sell and have been redecorating the kitchen, which included removing the cabinet doors and painting all 19, as well as five drawers, and the cabinets. Inspired by your adventures in ORBing your front door hardware, I broke out the spray paint to paint the cabinet hinges. They turned out great, as did the cabinets and doors but when we rehung the doors, some now won't open and/or close properly. Doh! We labelled every door, and all the hinges are identical, so we don't know what happened. Time to take 'em down and try again, I guess.
That looks incredible! Now I'm kicking myself for all of the artwork I've passed over while out thrifting.
I love the blog, I love you all, but sorry… I hate this project :( now it looks like a cheesy poster from one of those Christian inspiration stores. Still LOVE YOU GUYS especially Miss Clara and the Burgs!
Cool update! I think I'd probably have a harder time settling on a font that I'd love for years than a saying!
I love love love love it… seriously you two are just full of fantastic ideas. Gives me lots of inspiration!
Simple. Beautiful. Personalized. Perfect. Well Done.
Our weekend:
*applying for jobs (yay!)
*discussing Brit Romantic authors (looooove that my husband and I share this mutual interest… and how unique were their -mostly- short lives? :-)
*visiting Cox Honeyland in Logan (http://www.coxhoney.com/)
*enjoying the adventures of our wee one!
Love it!
I did something like this once for a friend. But, an easier trick to getting the letters "traced" is to first print them on paper (like you did), then color the back of them with a very "leady" pencil. Then, you can retrace over the letter on the front side and it leaves a very light line. It may be harder to space them that way, but it saves A LOT of tedious cutting.
Love this idea! It turned out great. I appreciated the full shot of the buffet because I really needed a point of reference with only one lamp. I refurbished an old credenza for my entry way and found a great green glass lamp at Home Goods this weekend. I wanted two but alas it wasn't meant to be. I wasn't feeling it with one lamp but I put 3 recycled glass jars of varying colors and sizes on the other side and I like it much better with the balance. Your lamp with the whale globe made me realize I can pull this off. As for the rest of the weekend…in the midst of a tile project in the bathroom…..doing tile halfway up the walls with a glass mosaic border and a tile chair rail. I am also making some paint chip art for the wall in the entry way but so far it does not look good! :(
I think adding the words adds SO much more than how the painting was before. What a great message for people to see upon entering your home. It's so obvious that your home is filled with love. :) XO
looks great!
we spent our saturday cleaning out the garage! very refreshing to have it decluttered (got rid of 2 huge garbage cans full, plus bulk items that didn't fit in the bins), and we were able to do it while TS Isaac rained on us.
This makes me want to go yardsaling. What a great piece of art you have now. I love projects that are free but cause you to fall even more in love with stuff you already have.
We didn't tackle any projects this past weekend but we did revisit our childhood. My husband and I joined in the fun at my nephew's birthday party by roller skating. Happy to say I didn't fall!
Love, love, love is all you need.
Hanging out with Isaac this weekend in FL.
School was canceled. It's a FL snow day! Perfect weather for some painting & this was just the motivation I needed.
I love it! Such a great idea to make it your own!
I love it! I have been listening to the Beatles all weekend :)
Have been following you for years. LOVE your style, energy and fab ideas, and ALWAYS rooting for you!! But this time I have to say I dont like the set up. The table is SO beautiful, nothing on it or above it is making it the charming focal point it should be, the painting and the urn has taken over. I would put 4 black and white photos in dark wooden frames there, an elegant look that blends rather than pops, and on the actual table, a lovely white orchid with 2-3 pretty bowels or 1-2 pretty boxes Sorry guys. I have always loved what you do, feel so mean to even type this. And as if it has anything to do with me anyway….
I dunno about putting bowels out as decor, no matter how pretty. lol. I'm not usually the grammar police but that one is just too funny.
I love it! Looks really great, and such nice words to live by :)
So glad you decided to take our suggestion! hehe.
I love it! :)
I, too, vote for a do-over of this weekend. Though I did get one project partially completed. I used your iron-on hem tape tutorials to hem my beansie's curtains. They haven't gone up yet, but hey, I'm one step closer…and will hopefully get them up there before she graces us with her arrival in November. :)
Thanks for all the help you didn't even know you gave me. ;)
You've now created your own private beach with your message written in the sand. Dip your toes in any time – heck, go body-surfing!
All you need is love…and I am in love with this!! That whole wall has really come together!
I've spent all morning at work (yikes!) trying to come up with a quote I love so I can do this at home, too! Thanks for the inspiration!
That is such a great idea! I feel so inspired! And I have that same quote in a frame in my daughter's room.
Also, I saw this and thought of your egg chair:
I really, really do love this idea and your's turned out beautifully.
Love the art! Actually did some word-art myself. Stenciled 'a home is not a home without a dog' on a canvas….and hung it above my dog's bowls. Apparently I think she can read? Oh well, every living thing likes homemade art, right?
ahh! I'm now in love with that painting!!! I wasn't impressed when you first got it, but, meh.. it's not my house… :) haha! But now, I need my own hotel art so that I can make something awesome!!! :)
I work in sales at a hotel and I completely thought your painting/framed art thing was a fire sale item! It looks great and personalized now but I cannot believe Joss & Main are selling it for over $300.00!!!
Congrats on a good find! I am now going to search my hotel for the next big art thing!
I love this! I've seen the projects over at A Beautiful Mess and wanted to do it then, but now I really really really want to make my own! That quote is perfect. And I love the tip about testing it out on Photoshop.
I think I'll have to make a stop at Goodwill or something in the near future. :)
Speaking of art, I saw this posted on ourhumbleabowedblog.com by Amanda and thought it was totally your style:
Keep up the good work! I love watching the transformation from house to home.

Are you sick to death of election coverage? Feeling defeated by major losses in the House? Annoyed with press conferences and pundits? Well, the media has a talent for giving us election fatigue but there is some good news and insightful analysis out there to prepare us for this arduous road to 2012.
Even as the Tea Party heavily pushed their discriminatory platforms, ethnic diversity didn't take a total hit in these elections. As Lori reported earlier, despite the fact there will be no African-American senators for the next two years, Alabama elected their first Black congresswoman. In typical appropriating fashion, the GOP won big with their candidates of color, namely Indian-American Nikki Haley, South Carolina's first female governor, and Susana Martinez of New Mexico, the country's first Latina governor. Nevada also elected their first Latino governor, Brian Sandoval, another Republican.
What's unfortunate is that it reeks of diversity for the sake of diversity. Since the election of President Obama, the GOP has been on a mission to appeal specifically to African-American and Latino communities but were certainly happy to have any black, brown or yellow faces sprinkled throughout the party once we became en vogue. It started with the hiring of GOP chairman Michael Steele but now we are seeing the fruits of their investment. The real problem is that these candidates are often supporting measures that detrimentally affect their communities of the people they most want to "reach." Sigh.
One hot race is for California's Attorney General where Democratic contender, Kamala Harris, is narrowly beating her competitor, Steve Cooley. She leads by one-third of a percentage point and provisional and absentee ballots still need to be counted. Cooley had been the favorite because his career as a prosecutor in Los Angeles County but Harris, who some pundits tout as the next Obama, has given him a run for his money (literally).
In other (more positive) diversity news, there were a record number of LGBT candidates elected to various offices including state legislatures and mayoral positions. Even as Tea Party psycho Rand Paul won the Senate race in Kentucky, Lexington (the second largest city in the state) elected an openly gay mayor, and the fourth openly gay member of Congress, David Cicilline, was elected in Rhode Island. That's a good segue to the future of DADT which is now lays in the hands of "Republican cooperation."
It's also been confirmed that youth are still engaged, involved and interested. The old idea of youth apathy dies hard but it was reported that voter turnout of people under 30 was comparable to the 2006 midterm election numbers, and that many of these young voters are pro-Democrat. This is particularly important to note since many progressives have commented that the majority of Tea Party voters are seniors.
Regarding the Tea Party, it's hard not to be alarmed by all of their rhetoric and to easily believe that they are wielding a large amount of power over voters. Though I don't believe they will go away anytime soon, they are not the major voting block that they sell themselves to be. Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer got more votes than ten of the Tea Party's candidates combined. Granted California is a huge state and the Tea Party folks mostly ran in smaller states, it gives some perspective about the actual significance of the Tea Party's influence on elections…and allows me to breathe a small sigh of relief.
What's been my silver lining for the day was an important point made (more eloquently than I will here) by Melissa Harris Perry during this morning's live discussion: "Pop and Politics with Farai Chideya." Essentially she said that the results of last night's election signified more of a shift in partisan control than in actual ideology. Many of the Democrats who lost were conservatives who are being replaced by Republican conservatives. While it is troubling considering Republicans are way more apt to vote among party lines when the Democrats don't (remember Stupak?), it does not signify a major departure from politics as usual, particularly the Democrats scrambling around for votes outside of their party.
I think it's easy for progressives to be disillusioned by the results. Yes, we did lose the House. Yes, there are some nutty Tea Party candidates who are actually in office. But it's all more fire for us to fight for candidates that support our interests and issues, not for diversity's sake or photo opps but for the betterment and uplift of our country.

Clare (クレア) No. 47
- What's the meaning of this, Teresa?
- Nothing deep. The reason is extremely simple and easy to understand. I found a reason to live on. For now on, I'm going to live for her.
Rubel: Do you want Priscilla's head? Give it up.
You can't beat her, whatever you do.
Rest in me & I'll comfort you;
I lived & I died for you.
AHHHHHHHHHHH Ireeene
Grupo de Porto Alegre - RS *-*
Clare: "But it does hurt you, Teresa. I know it does because I can
see it on your face all the time. Even when you're smiling, I can
see it's still hurting you inside.
Your eyes. They look just like my eyes do! Like you're scared and
alone and you hurt so much, you can't stand it, but you don't want
anyone to know it. I know, that was why.."Teresa (in her head): So I was the one she was comforting that day. She didn't cling to me because I saved her from that Yoma, but
because she knew we shared the same kind of pain. Everything
she had was taken away from her and she could sense that I had
suffered the same way. She could feel our kinship, even when I
couldn't. She comforted me in a way no one in the village
would do to her. She gave me what she wanted so badly for herself.
Understanding and unconditional love. The same love that Clare has
never known for herself. I kicked this tiny girl over and over, when all she wanted was to be held.
She taught me something I thought I'd never learn. That even silver eyes like these, can still shed tears.(x)

text: And in that moment our eyes met. Wonder filled his eyes of ocean blue like rivers flowing into each other. It wasn't quite wonder, though. It might have been what wonder and the look a shocked animal would make combined, but here was definitely some wonder. He stared at me a moment before we exchanged any words or acknowledgement that each other are actual people standing there. It was if we had been in a John Hughes film, the moment seemed too scripted or something along those lines. Two people sharing a connection over a mutual interest, but yet it was different from classic eighties films. It might have been the mutual interest of a television show that lead to a conversation, but it was so much more that led to my increasing interest with the boy who would soon be the one that fills up my thoughts night and day. With every movement he made, I saw a bit more of him. The way his hand would graze through his hair of golden wheat on a summer's day, making it lay perfectly. The way he would take a quick glance down at his feet every once and a while or let out a quaint chuckle when the moment allowed him to, but the thing that won over my interest wasn't any of those things. It was his smile. This was a smile that could lighten anyone's heart. A smile that makes my stomach flip and my heart pound with the rhythm and tempo of an African drum. A smile that I saw the moment our eyes met and words broke the surface. And though that moment can't be repeated, it is that expression on his face I wish I could see again. It was so full of awe and wonder that would make any girl melt, but intimidation and shock demonstrated a fear of rejection and insecurity. It is an expression that is so vulnerable and inviting that I couldn't turn down. I couldn't turn away.

Sym-Bionic Titan 1.02: Neighbors in Disguise
- Written by Zechs on Thursday, September 30 2010 and posted in Reviews
Our three favorite alien visitors continue to adapt to Earth culture with Princess Ilanna wants to see more of it. That is if her guardian Lance has anything to say about it. Oh and the monster of the week is a giant robotic King Ghidorah homage.
Credits & Solicit Info:
Kevin Thoms as Lance "Lunas"
Tara Strong as llanna "Lunas"
Brian Posehn as Octus/Newton
Don Leslie as General Modula
John DiMaggio as Various Characters
Tim Russ as Solomon
Lance, Ilanna, and Octus continue their hiding into Earth culture to avoid the forces of General Modula by getting a house. We get a new character introduced in the episode, and some background on Lance. Oh did I mention yet the homage to this week's monster reminded me of King Ghidorah?
So yeah last week I complained about characters needing some more depth to them and we sort of get that with this episode with it being a focus on Lance and a bit with everyone else save for Octus, who only gets a new form this episode (and honestly I really prefer the father Luna mode than his geeky Newton one). Here we get some info on Lance as well.
Again though the douses of character development feels like a tiny sprinkle though. I just keep hungering for more yet feel we're barely still scratching the surface with these characters. Damnit Genndy I want to know more about these three. Don't go all vague on us. Give us more character development with them!
Still, the glimpse of the once mighty kingdom of Galaluna and seeing that the armor form of Lance appears to be a form of elite honor guard (like we didn't know that already but still this episode seals that deal), and that we see more grunts soldiers below Lance's caliber in the now war torn world ruled by Modula. It just these little things that quench just a tiny bit my hunger for wanting more information.
Also I get my other wish with the introduction of the human housewife Barb in this episode. Barb fills the human totally oblivious to the antics of the new strangers. Though actually surprisingly to me was the adult humor and subtext she had throughout the episode. Dang and I thought the Birds of Prey episode from Batman: the Brave and the Bold was hinting on the adult themes here (what the heck am I talking about? Oh yeah stay tuned for a review of said episode in the future). Still, it's a welcome surprise which will be totally oblivious to the young folk, while the older folk such as myself and others can be the ones to giggle at it. So yeah I enjoyed Barb and can't wait to see what nutty happens next with her and Octus.
Another aspect that I'm starting to really enjoy about the show is the continuity. Usually shows of this caliber have the city already repaired from the massive monster damage done to it. Only for of course that yet another monster appears to do more damage. Surprisingly for the moment Sym-Bionic Titan has chosen to go with actual continuity. We see the damage from the previous episode still barely even repaired. Even more at the during the climactic fight with this monster instantly the Titan decides to take this fight elsewhere than continue on in the city. I'm very curious how long they'll keep this up.
For me the best part of the episode was the creature of the week which was an obvious Ghidorah homage mixed in with a little Cerberus. I mean they even did the falling out of the sky meteor homage that was Ghidorah's first appearance. What can I say? When you add the two things I love of giant monsters with them being multi headed robotic harbingers of destruction I cannot say anything bad about it.
The other being of course Solomon. I am really starting to love this bad guy in particular. The dude doesn't even appear for more than fifteen seconds in the episode and the character leaves such a memorable mark on you. Again, I don't know why he strikes me having so much more of a presence than Modula, even if the good General put in a much better showing here. I think it's just the look, voice, and the direction that sinc up so well. I'm really loving the close-up shots of him of him and the reflection of the people he's talking or watching on his glasses.
Even if he still doesn't do much for me in the visual department, General Modula gets to shine in his episode showcasing his brutality and actual distinction. The scene where he dispatches a group of would be assassins reminded me of something out of Gatchamen (aka War of the Planets) and a touch of General Grievous with the movement he displayed in taking them out. Plus his whole talk on why he's doing what he's doing than just not ignoring our heroes makes actual sense. Still, what doesn't to me is why the heck hasn't he sent more than just one monster? However, I'm guessing that eventually he'll do just that since he sent in something with thought and bite in this episode. No doubt he'll learn from his previous two choices and go multiple foes on our heroes soon.
So yeah the episode continues some things, but continues lacking in other departments. It's still nothing overtly perfect, but it's still a fun entertaining thirty minutes. I just wish the main characters would get some more damn characterization that isn't cookie cut thin (oh the irony of that description with this episode). Still, it's better than most stuff on the television and again given what Solomon has in his possession by episodes' end it's got me again for another episode to watch. Plus the villains in this are really starting to come onto their own.

i woke up feeling tired. not in the press snooze for an hour kind of way. no. i had this realization some time in between dreams that i have allowed my mind to become terribly out of shape, exhausted, lazy. maybe its because i am fast approaching thrity. this milestone is forcing me to reevaluate and reflect. today's epiphany is that i have lost what it means to feel passionate. sure, i weep genuine tears when the meth addict on intervention agrees to accept treatment. my heart fills with inexplicable double rainbows when i scroll through images of furry puppies and sleeping kittens. but these are visceral emotions. i need to rebuild that place in myself where i used to hoard the many possibilities i forsaw for myself and the energy to execute however unfocused and haphazard it was. i want to be able to tell someone definitely these are the things i love, these are the things i hate, these are the things i am giving myself the opportunity to explore. i guess i will start here.
this is a short film i co-wrote and directed with my friend sean. another mutual friend, jon d, composed the music for it. this project was for a competition you tube was sponsoring for director, jason reitman. the guidelines were that we include a few key phrases of dialogue like "what is the meaning of these shenanigans!". Also, we had to include a scene where a photograph was passed between two characters. needless to say, we did not win the competition. but i had a lot of fun working on this with a bunch of our mutual friends!
