Harrison, Michigan
Hidden Hill Family Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Quaint, small park, very convenient to US-127 (which you cannot hear). However, there is traffic noise from the business loop road, seems to be worse on weekdays. Owners are very visible and involved in guiding folks in and maintaining the place. Full hook-up sites in the center (#25-39) are huge, probably the largest we've ever camped in. We may return in the future.
Pioneer, Ohio
Funny Farm Campgrounds
[ 5/10 ]
Pool is closed due to damage from extreme winter weather, and I could not receive a WiFi signal. Initial site assigned was much too small for our rig, so make sure to provide your rig length during the reservation process. Not many level sites in this park. It was quiet and relaxing, nice rolling terrain, lots of activities planned for kids. We probably will not return.
Bristol, Indiana
Eby's Pines Campground
[ 7/10 ]
If they would not charge for Wi-Fi, I would rate it higher. The deluxe pull-through sites are large and fairly level. Some highway noise from the Toll Road just to the north. We visited the RV/MH Museum & Hall of Fame on a rainy day. We will probably return for a longer stay, with a 3G smartphone.
Bancroft, Wisconsin
Vista Royalle Campground
[ 6/10 ]
In the pines, there is only sand and no grass. In the open, there is much grass but no shade. There is an airport across the road which had crop dusters flying every morning. Don't stay near the trash compactor aft of the office. It smells. Wi-Fi was very spotty. The pond is nice to swim in with lots of floating structures. Probably would stay elsewhere if in this area again.
Iron Mountain, Michigan
Summer Breeze Campground
[ 10/10 ]
Can't really go wrong here. Escorted to your site, nice grass in most sites, pretty much everything said by others here is true. Additionally, they have a nice walking path loop through the woods, and this used to be a KOA years ago so the facilities are top-notch. We will likely return.
Houghton Lake, Michigan
West Houghton Lake Campground
[ 5/10 ]
Sites were likely laid out several decades ago, so the width is tight now with slideouts. Only 1 section of full hookups. OK for a couple of nights. Access to Houghton Lake across the road for boating, but no beach here. Just your basic northern campground, with majority seasonals, and a couple of large grassy areas for playground/sports.
Waterford, Pennsylvania
Sparrow Pond Family Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Very nicely maintained, excellent grass. The only quibble was the price of firewood ($6 per very small bundle -- find some on your own on Craigslist.com). Swimming pool looked very nice; a good mix of cabins and campsites, lots of places to walk (roads & trails). We will return.
Jackson, Michigan
Hideaway RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
A nice quiet park. A little hum from the nearby freeway, but the trees buffer the noise fairly well. Lots of open space to play and walk pets. It's been a bad year for mosquitos this year in MI, so I can't entirely fault the park, but it is surrounded by woods and there is a lake in the center, and thus they were bad for this trip. The seasonals raved about this place. Recommended.
Butler, Ohio
River Trail Crossing
[ 8/10 ]
Nice small quiet park, excellent paved walking / biking trail nearby on an old railroad grade. Owners helped park us. A nice place to spend a weekend. Nice shady full hookup sites away from the river; very scenic W/E sites right along it.
Petersburg, Michigan
Totem Pole Park
[ 7/10 ]
Decent park with a nice sandy beach and pond. Couldn't access Wi-fi despite being only a short distance from the office. They do let outsiders in for swimming and gatherings. Gravel roads, but not much trouble maneuvering. Camp store offers some basic items. We'll probably stay here again.
Indian River, Michigan
Indian River RV Resort & Campground
[ 10/10 ]
Rate reflects the "super sites." An excellent, excellent campground. Highly recommended. Owners are extremely friendly, every unit checking in gets a personal escort to their site. All streets are paved (a little tight, but never posed a problem with our rig.) Nice balance of shade and sun.
Curtis, Michigan
Log Cabin Resort & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed in one of the full hook-up sites near the lake (not the super deluxe pull-throughs) and are glad we did. They are much sunnier and are deeper, with fire rings in the back (a nice touch). We enjoyed this and would definitely come back. Wi-Fi signal is not a problem near the office. Excellent grass on all of the sites. Ours site was a little un-level, but most are OK.
Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan
Aune-Osborn Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Arrived on a rainy day, and the sites weren't as swamped with water as some earlier had indicated. Rig parking is up on somewhat elevated stony pads. Great view of the river and ships. We were self-contained so didn't sample the showers, but office and laundry were nice. Probably the best place to stay in the Sault area, with very reasonable rates.
Lake Leelanau, Michigan
Wild Cherry Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Spacious, scenic park. But overpriced, should be $10/night less since it needs more amenities. Has no pool, no cable TV, and no restrooms or showers yet. Extremely quiet and lots of places to walk your pets. Liked the large sites. Might stay again if it is "right-priced."
Gibsonburg, Ohio
Eagle Lake Camping Resort
[ 7/10 ]
It is a very relaxing & quiet park, about 80% seasonal, the weekender sites are all pull-through. They do allow for locals to fish in the quarry, so be aware there will be some outsiders (no security or gate). Very nice staff. They need to bring this park up to date to garner a higher rating (no Wi-Fi, website hasn't been updated in 4 yrs, no cable). I would probably return for another weekend.
Wellington, Ohio
Rustic Lakes Campground
[ 3/10 ]
Campground is approx 80% seasonal, lots of families, kids, golf carts. Quieted down pretty well at night. Roads are dirt (dusty) and extremely narrow; you have to pull off the road when other cars pass, thus advanced planning is necessary when towing a rig. This also makes it a challenge to back into a site with the seasonals all around. Most dissatisfied with the bathrooms away from the showerhouse, one of them was disgusting and not at all usable. Plan on a far walk to the clean one if your site is in the outer reaches. I don't see us returning.
Bellaire, Michigan
Chain O' Lakes Campground
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed on one of their "Giant RV" sites which were really ex-mobile home sites. They were large sites but we had some single-wides around us. Labor Day weekend featured some live music, and ice cream for the kids. A hollowed clearing area was nice to play sports. Bathrooms were large and clean. Wi-Fi access wasn't so hot, but we were in the back corner of the grounds.
Paulding, Ohio
Woodbridge Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We really liked this campground. The owners were visible and friendly, very involved with activities they hold. Probably about 60% seasonals, everyone was very friendly. A nice variety of campsites (waterfront, pull through, etc.) The one drawback was the plastic tiling factory across the road, the forklifts outside there were working non-stop during one Saturday overnight with their noisy backup beepers. Hopefully that doesn't occur every weekend. We intend to return for 2010 though.
Newberry, Michigan
Clementz's Northcountry Campground and Cabins
[ 8/10 ]
This park was a good value, close to Newberry but you felt out away from it all. Wi-Fi service wasn't good at our site. They are up-front about it and tell you that moving closer to the office area will improve it, so we had to use a closer picnic table to access. Lots of hiking/nature trails, I almost got lost on them! There is a large playground for kids, nice shower house / bathrooms. A good way to experience the quiet solitude of the Upper Peninsula.
Hillsdale, Michigan
Sugar Bush Campground
[ 6/10 ]
A very quiet park, probably about half seasonal sites. We enjoyed the walking paths. The owners were very pleasant and visible. There are not as many activities as other campgrounds. The athrooms were a little primitive, and could use an update.
Brimley, Michigan
Brimley State Park
[ 9/10 ]
A nice state park right on Lake Superior. When we stayed a cold front had just come through, and the wind really howled off the lake, so weather should be a consideration for your visit. Shower house and bathrooms are very nice, individual showers kept very clean. All paved streets, nice long beach to walk on. Lots of variety on campsites, the website is very descriptive on size and layout.

Niiicee hotel!! The staff is really cool, which is the one thing that always sticks to your mind long after you have departed. Two instances of staff help:
a. We were staying at this hotel at 2 different points on our trip of South America. We asked to leave our bags forr a week at the hotel after our first stay and they were glad to do it.
b. We wanted to do a specific tour in Santiago. We realized at 7:30PM and the tour was from 9PM. The concierge worked with me (because I don't speak Spanish - Anonymous
We chose this hotel as we had stayed here before and it's excellent location just a short walk from the main terminal building was ideal after a long overnight flight from Auckland. The receptionist was very welcoming and did her best to get as a room as we arrived quite early. We were given a room at the back where they are doing some building work and they willingly changed it straight away as we wanted to sleep. We had a meal in the restaurant which was very nice. Our room was clean and comf - Anonymous
Very spacious, GREAT views of the surrounding mountains. The main living area has windows on two sides and unobstructed view of great city and mountain scenery. Very clean, friendly and helpful staff. - Anonymous
Nice rooms. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Esteban (the concierge) is wonderful - super helpful, spoke perfect English, and is really nice. Great location in a nice neighborhood. Close to metro, park and nice restaurants. Free wi-fi in rooms and lobby. - Anonymous
This is the 4th time I have stayed at the Kennedy and find the staff very friendly and willing to help. Also, location is excellent and thus I shall continue to use the hotel in the future……has everything I require and the staff make it a pleasure for me to stay there. - Anonymous
Excellent hotel - beautiful pool area. Club facilities were very good and all staff were attentive and helpful. - Anonymous
We found the room very comfortable. Bed sheets, mattress pillows best
quality out of all hotels in Sth America. Sound proof. Shower head
excellent. Front desk staff member was on his own and handled the
situation professionally but it did mean waiting to check in for 10
minutes. It was 9.30 pm. - Anonymous
Everything, great service, great upmarket location, the hop on hop off bus was just around the corner. The room was huge, 2 large beds, laptop desk, dining table, chairs, 3 seater couch. walk in robe, nice bathroom. Excellent outdoor area, plenty of comfortable seating in and around hotel. Staff excellent. Was also able to organize a car to the port of Valparaiso to meet cruise ship.
Would highly recommend. - Anonymous
The room was very clean and modern. Staff was friendly. Meals were delicious. Free use of internet. Located near the town center. - Anonymous
The hotel is comfortable, well-located (bus, subway, shops, restaurants, city bus tours, parks/open spaces).

Good pricing. Seating area in lobby is attractive. - Anonymous
I'm very satisfied with the letsbookhotel.com service, besides this is
the first time I contracted its services. The Radisson Plaza Santiago

(specially the muchachos Cláudio e Daniel), good rooms (they provided
us one with Andes view), reasonable breakfest and perfect location
(Costanera Mall is very close of the hotel and the Tobalada metro
station is only 5 minutes of walk). Next time I visit Santiago, for
sure i'll stay again at - Anonymous

Rossi on KING 5's Up Front
Posted by David Postman
KING 5's Allen Schauffler and I interviewed Dino Rossi for this Sunday's Up Front program. The show airs at 9:30 a.m. on KING 5 and at 8 p.m. on Northwest Cable News. In the interview, Rossi talks about his backers at the Building Industry Association of Washington, what he would have done with tribal gambling compacts, and other issues.
We also continued the discussion for an interview you can watch now on-line. In that portion of the interview, I ask Rossi why he refuses to answer questions about issues he says aren't part of his campaign. Here's part of what he said:
I only have so much time to talk to the voters in the state of Washington. ... This is my campaign. I'll talk about the issues I want to. When people have the guts enough to run for office they can actually talk about whatever issues they want to talk about.
Watch the on-line extra here and be sure to watch the program Sunday.

Thanks for the link, David.
Interesting non-answers.
I'm crurious ... he talks about change being needed in state agencies but he has repeatedly declined to say what kinds of changes he would make. Instead, he says he would appoint directors who would assess the agencies and make recommendations to him for changes. So has he given any indication WHO he would appoint? I haven't seen anything about it.

What a jerk. This isn't about what issues matter to Dino Rossi, this is about the issues the matter to the voters of Washington state. Heaven forbid that he would ever actually respond on issues that matter to the people in this state.

"This is my campaign. Ill talk about the issues I want to"
really? would this be his attitude as governor too? he seems to completely disregard that the governor's job is to serve the public and answer to voter's interests. i can just see him saying: i know the voters want such and such but i'm the gov and i'll adress the issues that i want to.

Postman: I know you and your fellow liberal media members are trying to do everything to help get Gregiore re elected but why not trying to ask Rossi about the issues that matter instead of meaningless crap. Is the above quote really a fair representation of what he said during his whole interview?
Rossi is a disciplined campaigner and will not answer your constant attempts at turning to campaign into a circus.
No Rossi will not hand over his tax return, he earns money in the private sector and it is none of your business. The Gregoire's have lived off the taxpayer all there lives, but this is not relevant to the campaign.
Rossi is pro life but who cares he is not running for the supreme court or President.
If you like what Rossi has to say on the issues great if you want nothing to get done for 4 more years vote for Gregoire. I know Rossi is the first Republican not to play your game but get over it!!! Ask Gregoire some hard questions for a change. Like what the hell have you done the last 4 years other then pay off the unions?

jk said, "If you like what Rossi has to say on the issues great".
That's the thing jk, it's kind of hard to know if one likes what Rossi has to say on the issues when he refuses to say anything on the issues!
Rossi talks about having the "guts" to run for office, but he's shying away from open disclosure about his business dealings and finances and talking about issues, much as a coward would do.

Rossi has every right as a candidate to be arrogant, self-absorbed...and even blow-off the legitimate interest the public has in his opinions and policies regarding everything from abortion to green house gases.
He's made it very clear - he will not discuss anything he does not want to discuss, won't disclose his financial associations....and basically says, "take me or leave me."
I doubt he'll even get the 50% he got last time...
I actually wish we had a more viable republican candidate for governor.
The democratic monopoly in Olympia makes me a little nervous.
But Rossi has no specific plan to reduce government spending or the projected deficit - the one issue many are willing to overlook other faults for - and sure seems to have a higher opinion of himself than the people he not-so-humbly wants to represent.
No way.

jk, forget the current "debate" on this blog. but i have to say i'm really sick of you yahoos who talk about state employees "living off the taxpayer." you get services from those employees, from roads to public health protection to enough controls that people aren't dumping paint thinner into your water supply. (or in your case, maybe there are). and the fact is most of public employees earn every penny. what you are is jealous (unless of course you's an R state employee misusing state equipment). I've worked both public and private, mostly the former, and i can tell you, i've seen more bureaucracy in the private sector than public. By the way, public employees pay taxes too.

Rossi's right.....he's going to talk about the issues he thinks are important....he's trying to lead on those issues.
It's not arrogant....it's leadership Daniel K. ....Who said Allen Shaufler or David Postman decide what issues are important to the voters?
If the voters disagree with Rossi...he won't get elected.

So, David, when I watch Up Front on Sunday, I'll be curious to see whether what I come away from the show with is anything like the representation you've given us here.
You've shown yourself to be no fan of Dino Rossi, so I suspect you may have cherry picked a few unflattering tidbits to scintillate the blogosphere.
I don't care about Mr. Rossi's tax returns. Do you have to fill out F-1's for the PDC? It can feel somewhat invasive. If and when he's elected, we can ask him for a more full disclosure. In the meantime, I imagine he's just protecting himself and his family from the media's disparagement of him for earning a good living.
Let us decide what we think of his performance after we see it. So far, I'm impressed by the guy. If Christine Gregoire has done such a fantastic job, then why can't she think of anything more clever to say than that Dino Rossi is just like George Bush. THIS JUST IN . . . George Bush isn't running for Governor of Washington state. Get a better ad writer, please.

1:23 AM, Jul 19, 2008
Independent Girl,
The only grief Postman has given Rossi on this blog is over Rossi's stubborn refusal to answer relevant policy questions?
Please reference any other opinion regarding Rossi posted by David to support you attack on his journalistic credibility, okay?
Sorry folks, but the press DOES ask the questions on our behalf.
That's their job.
When Rossi says things like, "...I only have so much time...I'll talk about the things I want to talk about.." during a PRESS interview no less, he's refusing to answer MY questions through my agent, the press.
That lack of forthrightness is virtually unprecedented with any candidate for any position -- at least any actually interested in getting elected.
And although it's perhaps none of our business exactly how much money he makes (althouth his skill as a businessman is touted by his supporters as a supposed qualification), it's CERTAINLY our business who he has financial dealings with - something he clearly wants to continue hiding from the public.
An employer doesn't wait to check a new-hires' references until after he's handed the cash register keys.
Rossi needs to come clean to prove he DOESN'T have anything to hide, just like everyone else.
If Rossi refuses to be accountable, forthright and truthful during his campaign, why would you expect him be accountable, forthright and truthful on the job?
Wait till he's elected before checking if he's fit for office?
You've got to be kidding?
It's frankly inexplicable to me why anyone would give ANY politician that much trust, particularly one with Rossi's shady past and a contempt for the honest truth to match.

In the overtime clip you linked in your story, Rossi's refusal to speculate where he'd cut the budget without having his attorney's present was stunning.
Hope its saved for the bloopers reel.
So was his response to the fact that his transportation numbers do not match DOT's like he claims, at which point seems to start explaining how he wants to build a cheaper bridge than DOT forecasts -- thin quickly segues into how Gregoire tells different stories to folks on either side of the bridge, without answering the question...?
Say what?
You two let him off too easy on that one.
He was obviously nervous and uncomfortable addressing isssues not of his choosing - as if accountability to the citizens is a big pain in the azz.
I'd expect his "none of your business" attitude from someone in private business.
Good haircut, nice suit, but hardly executive-level public servant material from what I saw.

After watching that interview I wouldn't count on Rossi to get anything done in transportation. His own transportation plan appears to be billions over budget and will obviously be years behind schedule before he figures it out.
His plan on the 520 bridge would basically have the state start over. We can't afford that.
Rossi complains about companies not locating in Bellevue even as that town experiences the biggest building and job boom in the state's history. Huh?
When it comes to transportation, it appears that Dino Rossi doesn't know what he's talking about. Either that, or he's clueless and actually believes his rhetoric.
He's offering the same types of avoidance answers that stalled the state legislature for most all of the 1990s when he was in the Senate.
Cha. Cha. Cha.
No thanks.
How about some straight talk?
Posted by JimD
11:17 AM, Jul 19, 2008
...and the sad part it, his transportation plan is the only real plan he offers.
His whole campaign seems to be, "Gregoire is so insane I don't need to offer any viable proposals....just give me the damn job and let me wing-it once I get there...pay no attention to the developers behind the green curtain...."

Will, JimD, you've finally hit on the truth.
Queen Chrissy has been such an unbelievable disaster as governor (I bet you and your fellow fringers are proud of a governor who's managed to drop us into a $2.7 billion outhouse) on so many issues that yeah, anyone not blinded by their BDS would pretty much settle for ANY other individual for governor.
After all, so MANY morons are all about CHANGE, right? Well, if any leader needed to be replaced, it's the one responsible for the largest deficit in this state's history.
As much as I despise Rossi for his pseudo-conservatism (as opposed to the real thing) ABC is the plan: ANYONE but Chrissy.

12:23 PM, Jul 19, 2008
I appreciate your frank honesty about why you support Rossi.
I'm not so inclined to jump to just "anyone" - especially someone funded by developers who's best interests are under-regulated, short-sighted growth matched with a precipitous panic to balance the budget at any cost to our northwest aesthetic and carefully crafted quality of life.
The country is in a highly dynamic economic situation right now.
This is not the time to slap-up any old thing in any old place to create jobs and additional tax revenue.
We'll have to live with the effects of Rossi's and his funder's agenda long after this temporary budget condition is resolved in a more deliberate, thoughtful manner.
If you haven't been to Texas or other extraordinarily business-friendly states, you may not realize what Rossi and his funders represent, or what a perfect storm of danger they represent to the state with the added excuse that it's necessary to balance the budget.
Better we pay more to maintain our quality of life, than make it more affordable for those who do not value our unique, northwest attributes anyway.

Wow that's rich to hear liberals talk about openness and such, especially when they have done everything they could to keep the workings of state government from the people.
The people have had to repeatedly take the Gregoire government to court in order to get them to allow the public access to the workings of state governmment.

Postman you ignorant moron! Perhaps in journalism school they didn't teach you about how government works. There was this SUPREME COURT case called ROE v WADE. In that case they decided abortion was legal.
Now pleas tell me how the governor of the state of Washington is going to overturn a SUPREME COURT decision? HINT: The name SUPREME kind of clues you in to the fact that the decision is enduring, e.g. SUPREME.
Why would any SANE voter, especially one who commutes over the Alaskan Way Viaduct daily that is about to collapse due to the 7 years of inaction of Democrat governors, why would such a person give a rat's ass about abortion?
Rossi already made very clear to you his personal convictions on the matter, you even acknowledged it on camera. So why do you persist in meaningless questions when there are pressing issues that a governor can actually address??
I would no more want my governor wasting public time jawboning on abortion as I would want the state legislature wasting time with meaningless resoultions on presidential impeachment. WAIT! The Democrats already did that!
Here is an idea. How about we stick to those issue that the governor DOES have control over? Maybe, just maybe, the State of Washington might get something done other that wasting $2.7 BILLION of the tax payers money.

You may not be aware that once the U.S. Supreme Court is sufficiently filled with enough justices to likely overturn Roe-vs-Wade, that's exactly what will happen when it's petitioned with a new precedent-setting case.
EVERY anti-choice politician who gets closer to a future U.S. Senate or House position, may have a hand in approving those appointed to the court.
Governors are an active pool of future Senators, Congressmen, department heads....and even presidential candidates.
Heard of Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush?
Did you know they are ex-governors?
Do you not also think the people of Washington have a right to know to what extent the applicant to our job of governor intends to realize his convictions as Governor?
The state indirectly facilitates abortion access and service.
Will Rossi try to change that?
Rossi not only refused to say - he spent several minutes explaining why he doesn't have enough time during the next 100 day to give concise, straight answers to citizen's questions...
Posted by UpFrontViewer
3:59 PM, Jul 19, 2008
Exactly how many US Supreme Court justices are appointed by currently sitting STATE governors as part of their STATE duties?
Did Carter, Reagan or Bush appoint ANY supreme court justices as governor?
Are we now to vet every potential job candidate based upon what they might do in the future when they are no longer in that job based upon what other past people who left that job did? That's insane.
When Rossi runs for president, then you may have a point. I don't want the dog catcher spending his days with grand proposals on mid east peace while feral dogs roam the streets, I don't want the city mayor contemplating presidential impeachment resolutions when the streets are crumbling and I sure as heck don't want lectures on abortion from the governor when the Alaskan Way Viaduct is about to collapse and has been that way for 7 years.
If I am flattened by the collapsing viaduct, as happened in San Francisco, my last thought assuredly will NOT be "but thank god the governor is for abortion".

"Rossi not only refused to say - he spent several minutes explaining why he doesn't have enough time during the next 100 day to give concise, straight answers to citizen's questions..."
In fact, Rossi did say and even Postman acknowledged he did say. He stated his core belief is that every soul has a value. He also stated that he will not talk about issues in which the position for which he is running has no impact.
Asking the governor to talk about abortion while the state is projecting a $2.7 BILLION defiict, the viaduct is near collapse, our transportation infrastructure is in ruins and the state agencies are running amok is simply ignorant, willful or not - you decide.

Near collapse? Run amok? In ruins?
Not the last time I checked.
Gregoire did a heavy lift on the Viaduct and got the fix funded. That work is underway. Even with the mediation underway downtown, the project is on schedule. Rossi hasn't offered anything on the topic except an opinion (a tunnel) and everybody knows there are a lot of opinions on this topic.
I know we here about stupid things, but this state is generally regarded as having one of the best run state governments in the country.
Last time I checked the state's infrastructure was not in ruins and was safely carrying millions of us every day. This state's highways move people more safely than almost any other state.
It is perfectly reasonable for any candidate for Governor to expect questions about positions on abortion and answer them. It is not reasonable to expect a contorted civics lesson to cover a dodge.

The last time you checked was 30 years ago you and her are living in denial.
Obviously, you must walk to work or live within 10 miles of work.
We have the same roads 2 lanes as we did 30 years ago; the population was less than 2 million in the whole state.

"...Are we now to vet every potential job candidate based upon what they might do in the future when they are no longer in that job based upon what other past people who left that job did?..."
I prefer that no anti-choice politicians hold any offices at any level.
However, as I explained earlier - it's not a deal breaker and I'm certainly not a single issue voter on this or most other policy positions - the same pragmatism by most mainstream, centrist voters.
There are obviously many instances where a candidate's anti-choice position is outweighed by other factors - especially at the local level.
But the press has every right to ask Rossi about his beliefs as many times and in as many ways as they want.
This includes asking Rossi to elaborate on whether he intends to fully facilitate the reproductive rights of Washington women, despite his personal convictions against abortion.
He has NOT answered that question.
He refuses to discuss it, period, end of story.
At the same time, he touts himself as a pro-life Catholic to social conservatives who WANT a governor to use his office to not only speak out against abortion, but actively work to distance state government from any connection to endorsing reproductive choice in its many social services.
In the absence of any effort by Rossi to explain exactly how he would reflect his convictions in his official duties, his intentions remain an open question.
I frankly think the reason so many of you call this a red herring is because you either don't care if he intends to be an anti-abortion activist - or hope he does.
Since when did the right decide it's irrelevant unless you're running for President?
The program is a televised job interview.
I'll save my final judgment till Sunday's broadcast of the full thing.
But from the last few minutes (linked above), it appears Rossi flunked his employment interview by refusing to answer questions that many of his potential employers want answers to.

"That work is underway."
It has been SEVEN YEARS and the only thing that has been done is to patch the thing to prop it up. No work to replace it has been done other than waste a lot of money with nothing to show for it.
Gregoire showed such a lack of leadership she even threw the question back to the voters. Seattle's lacksidasical decision making style is no excuse for Gregoire's incompetence on the matter. It is a STATE highway not a city highway.
Work isn't even scheduled to begin on replacement until 2012. That will be 11 years since the quake damaged the thing and 24 years after the safety issue of i viaduct collapse, as demonstrated by the San Francisco Cypress Way viaduct, proved those type of antiquated structures were vulnerable to pancaking on people.
Now it didn't take 11 years for work to begin on the Cypress viaduct because obviously they had leadership on the issue. The people of the state should be outraged that this unsafe structure hasn't even been torn down yet.
"Run amok?"
YES, the Gregoire Department of Corrections IS runnning amok. According to a KOMO NEWS special investigation several DOC insiders had this to say regarding the deaths of three police officers at the hands of inmates the Gregoire DOC let out on the streets prematurely:
"They're hiding everything. Everything's under a cloud," the source said.
"I am angry, because they didn't have to die," our source said. "We are the Department of Corrections. That's what we do. We protect the public, and we are not doing it."

Wow. That explains a LOT about you JimD. That explains why you will tolerate a do-nothing governor. You prioritize abortion actual issues a governor can have an impact on. So for you it is all about the ideology. That is fine for extremists like yourself but the rest of the voters care more about actually getting things done rather than idealogical screening for things outside the job duties of the position for which the candidate is applying.
And you open a whole can of worms when you do so. What is Rossi's opinion on the space program? After all, he might be president one day and some may want to know about anti-space program politicians at ALL levels of government. What about his position on broccoli? After all, I wouldn't want to further in any way the political ambitions of a broccoli bigot.
If you don't see how ridiculous this is, especially while our infrastructure crumbles and we are projecting $2.7 BILLION deficits where once we had surplus, then you are simply a left wing idealogue for which there is zero hope of reasonable conversation. And you know darn well you would be saying the exact same thing if the situation were reversed and the reporter were hounding Gregoire because she was for abortion. And you'd be right.

What in the world are you babbling about?
Broccoli....the space program...?
Rossi has no viable plan to reduce the deficit.
Rossi refuses to discuss the specifics of how he'd supposedly cut spending.
Rossi's transportation plan is under-funded by billions and involves abandoning investments already spent for projects currently in progress.
He refuses to explain why he thinks this makes sense.
He refuses to explain much of anything...
He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
There are plenty reasons not to vote for Rossi.
It's YOU guys who wanted an answer to why one's abortion policy is relative to being a governor.
But Rossi's anti-choice position is hardly the main reason why he's absolutely the wrong candidate for governor.
The best reason to vote for Rossi is that he's isn't Gregoire?
That's it?
That's Rossi's best asset?
That's just embarrassing, dude.
This "anyone but Gregoire" thing is grossly irresponsible.
She's been a very effective governor overall, and most citizens are relatively happy with her overall performance given the problems dumped in her lap.
The reason you have to over-state how dire our financial situation is because it's all you've got to justify supporting this idiot the republicans put up to go against Gregoire in a year when they knew they couldn't win anyway.
Gregoire isn't just the best candidate for governor because of her overall performance to date, but because Rossi's empty campaign and pretend proposals are simply unacceptable.

Broccoli and the space program are as relevant to the job of governor as is abortion.
"Rossi has no viable plan to reduce the deficit."
Yes he does. How about NOT giving $1 million to the Clearwater Casino for tribal monuments? They are already raking it in tax free thank to Gregoire.
How about cutting the money wasted on pet massage?
Dino HAS balanced a budget. He has a HISTORY of balancing budgets. Gregoire has a history of busting them.
"Rossi refuses to discuss the specifics of how he'd supposedly cut spending."
No he hasn't. He has already said the approach he would take. Unlike the non-credible Gregoire who promised not to raise taxes in 2004 and then weeks later raised them, Rossi has actually balanced a budget.
"Rossi's transportation plan is under-funded by billions and involves abandoning investments already spent for projects currently in progress."
No it doesn't. Rossi's plan recognizes inefficiencies and specifically addresses them. They are common sense really. Not taxing materials the state uses for constructing bridges and other infrastructure is just one common sense way of reducing the cost of those projects. Contrast this with Gregoire, whose DOT wasted over millions on the failed Port Angeles graving project and her failure to address the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
He has explained it over and over but you refuse to listen because he isn't a Democrat. The pragmatic people of Washington want problem solvers, not idealogue apparatchiks that waste their hard earned money.
"It's YOU guys who wanted an answer to why one's abortion policy is relative to being a governor."
And WE GUYS are STILL waiting for an answer that isn't nonsensical.
"The best reason to vote for Rossi is that he's isn't Gregoire? That's it?"
That is what YOU GUYS always tell us about barack Obama - he isn't Bush. Thanks for pointing out the nonsense of that position.
But I never said the only reason to vote for Rossi is that he isn't Gregoire. The main reason to vote for Rossi is fiscal responsibility.
Everyday working stiffs have to live under a budget. They have to prioritize their spending. Dino understands this and has demonstrated results, Gregoire does not and has demonstrated failure.
Earlier you likened Gregoire to a disease, and you were right. Like a fundamentalist Christian Scientist, you don't even want to try the medicine even though for four years the state has been fiscally ill under Gregoire. You said so yourself when you likened her to a disease.
Failed transportation projects, out of control state agencies, crumbling infrastructure that threatens the lives of Washingtonians. If that is what you call success, then by all means vote for Gregoire.
We know the result of Gregoire's four years is turning a billion dollar SURPLUS into a $2.7 billion dollar DEFICIT. But this shouldn't be a surprise to any voter really. Gregoire had a previous history of mismanagement as AG where she lost the state $10 million in a lawsuit for not filing paperwork in time. On the viaduct, she refused to show any leadership and threw it back to the voters.
She has done a MISERABLE job as governor. And yes, just about ANYONE would be a better bet than Gregoire. But we are lucky that we have not just anyone, but SOMEONE who has DEMONSTRATED he CAN balance a budget.
In the end, that is what mainstream voters want, not some incompetent anointed idealogue like Gregoire.

Although its true that the governor of a state has little influence over who is appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, that he or she cannot dramatically impact the reproductive rights of woman in a state is simply not the case.
Roe v. Wade simply sets the boundary within which state laws on abortion must stay. Within that boundary, the states have a lot of leeway. Thats why, even with Roe v. Wade, the reproductive rights of women vary substantially from state to state. Washingtons current laws are among the more protective of those rights, and it certainly seems fair for Mr. Rossi to indicate before asking the people of this state to vote for him whether he supports changing those laws.
Some examples of why it matters to the reproductive rights of women in Washington who is elected Governor:
State law can push right up to the bounds of Roe v. Wade, without going over. Does Mr. Rossi support changing Washington law to do so?
A state law going beyond the bounds of Roe v. Wade can be passed strategically, with the hope that it will be used to overturn, or substantially erode, the holding in that case. Of course, unless and until a court rules it unconstitutional, the women of Washington would be bound by such a law. Would Mr. Rossi support such a law, and the taxpayer dollars necessary to defend it?
Roe v. Wade does not require states to pay for abortions. However, consistent with Initiative 120 (passed by Washington voters in 1991), they are covered in our state health care programs for low income women. Would Mr. Rossi eliminate such funding, or otherwise support repealing Initiative 120, which is intended to protect the reproductive rights of Washington women regardless of what happens to Roe v. Wade?
Reproductive rights are not simply about abortion. Affordable access to effective birth control and scientifically sound sex education are also important. President Bush has consistently supported policies and programs to limit access to these. Would Mr. Rossi support changing policies and programs in Washington to more closely align with the position of the President?
Of course, the views of a states Governor on transportation are important. As are his or her views on the environment, and education, and myriad of other things. But his or her views on a womans reproductive rights are important as well, and its ridiculous for Mr. Rossi to suggest otherwise. Why cant he simply state his views, and let the voters decide if it matters? What is he afraid of?
I want to know what he thinks, and short of being able to ask him myself, will rely on the likes of Mr. Postman and others in a position to do so to continue to ask until he gives a straight answer.
Posted by YourRedHerring

Rossi has stated his views. Over and over. Roe v Wade is a Supreme court issue, not a state issue.
A governor cannot simply enact a law by himself, it requires the house and senate to go along as well. So basically, Democrats have skepticism that the Democrat majority in both the state house and senate will pass anti abortion legislation and Rossi will go along with it.
That is pure fantasy. Talk about your red herring.

"So Mr. Rossi would do nothing as Governor to interfere with a woman's reproductive rights, including those things I've mentioned above? Then why doesn't he just come out and say that?"
Has anyone asked this of the Democrat majority? It is a moot point if they don't go along. And as has been pointed out, it is covered under the state health plan.
Really, these distractions are designed to bring our focus away from the bread and butter issues of transportation and fiscal responsibility in order to spare the incumbent from having to answer uneasy questions about why the state has been so mismanaged under her tenure.

The governor is supposed to work for us- not tribal gambling interests. She has NOT been accountable and has shown she cannot be trusted to manage our state.

In lighten us Jimd , a surplus is not a problem she had dumped into her lap. What the hell are you ranting about? She made her own problems by expanding employment by 30% giving the tribes money for votes, giving state agencies a blank check.

I agree that how a Governor would address any projected deficit in the state budget is important, and will be wary of any candidate who refuses to talk about it -- especially if the reason given is "This is my campaign. I'll talk about the issues I want to."

And what would be the point trying.
The fanatical Rossi crowd has their minds made up - anybody but Gregoire, using any inflated excuse to get there - from the projected deficit to the absurdly inaccurate characterization of her handling of the flood relief.
Rossi supporters just want a chain saw taken to state government.
It doesn't matter what gets cut or who's affected - a sentiment they've repeatedly expressed on this blog until the projected state deficit became the attack issue de jur.
And who do they offer-up as a prospective employee?
A guy without a specific or viable proposal on any issue, who refuses to explain how his supposed "transportation plan" contradicts DOT's own numbers, refuses to answer questions important to his prospective employers, has the builders association financing his campaign, carries a chip on his shoulder over losing the last election....and now, the preposterous claim that his anti-choice stand is irrelevant to the people of Washington...?
Try telling Washington's pro-life movement that a politicians position on life doesn't matter unless they're the president of the United States.
I'm no big fan of Gregoire, but I'm not so fanatical about rushing to solve the current projected state deficit that I'd consider choosing an obvious wolf in sheep's clothing who's campaign centers around, "trust me"..

That's simply untrue.
She virtually lived there after declaring it a disaster area.
The fact that she did this without turning it into a continuous press event is commendable - although she's now paying the price with those who assume she's only working when they see her in the media.
It's just another distortion of her record from folks who will stop at nothing to tear-apart state government, get rid of as many state projects and workers "living off the tax dollars" as possible regardless of the consequences, the value of their work or the services affected, and have no concern for the specific details on how we'll get there as evidenced by a candidate who brings none to the table.
Just my opinion of course - and that of half the voters Rossi clearly resents for "stealing" what he considers his political entitlement.

What I would like to learn more about is Governor Chrissy and her Indian bribes. The state is running a deficit, because of her secret deal with the tribes we abandon revenue sharing on gambling and she get a $600,000 campaign donation. Why isn't the media covering this? She has created a deficit with her increased spending of $8,000,000,000 more than her predecessor. Finally the press makes that public. Washington voters are drinking too much Democratic Kool Aid and are not digging for facts, demanding accountability and insisting on fiscal responsibility. But then again this is Washington State!

Well, I happen to know one of the faith-based volunteers who donated hundreds of hours helping rebuild down there - and he says he saw and met with the governor on a regular basis for weeks after.

Have you ever heard of state employees being sent down here to actually work not just looking?
Throw more state money at it?
Yeah, think of it money for public schools.
Whats your spin on the 90 million that never got here after 1996 flood that would have prevented this tragedy?

First and foremost, we realize that a lot of people are still recovering, Gregoire said. Even though we are making progress on recovery and taking steps to prevent future harm, we are still concerned for those who are suffering and will continue to work to help them.
It has been 8 months where still waiting.

"...I viewed it by helicopter, looking down on it, Gregoire said. Trust me, it was devastating...."
Well, I sure it looked particularly bad by air.
That doesn't even IMPLY she wasn't on the ground.
Fred - you still haven't said what Gregoire DIDN'T do.
How did she "abandon" you?
Seems to me like the governor, the full force of our state government, certainly the tax payers, the feds, and hundreds of volunteers dropped everything to come down and help.
I remember conservative Rossi supporters on this blog bitterly complaining that she was getting in the way, should stay in Olympia, and would probably spend too much of THEIR tax dollars helping you out.
How much more of our tax dollars and state resources do you want?
What COULD the governor do, that she DIDN'T do?
Can you answer that?
Or is your charge that we abandoned you without merit after all?
Which is it, Fred?

You did not read her words:

Gregoire recalled last winters disaster area, to which she made several visits and held press conferences.
When the cameras rolled she came down.
Waiting for your answers, be truthful for once.
Why are the victims still homeless, why is the State charging more for the permits than the worth of the repairs?
Why has the media stopped coverage of the hardship our people are enduring?
Why hasnt the Gov. returned since she proclaimed it a disaster?
Why didnt the news media investigate what happen to the 90 million to repair the dikes after the 1996 flood?

"Dated may 2008

Look Fred - I'm not un-sympathetic to your plight.
It was a horrible act of God compounded by questionable land-use in the first place.
I even contributed $500 to the Red Cross with a $500 match from my employer.
I don't know if that helped you personally, but everyone seems to have done everything they could.
You say the governor never came down after declaring it a disaster, but the news story you quote says she made multiple visits.
You say it isn't getting enough press coverage, but the news story you quoted says she drew press attention with news conferences.
I'm not saying things couldn't have been handled better.
There's always room for improvement, especially when the government's involved.
But complaining that the Governor and the State Of Washington "abandoned" you is simply not true.
And collectively, all levels of government, corporate, non-profits and private citizens, the assistance was commendable by any standard.
By all accounts - including the story referenced above - the county was pleased with the response and assistance they were given.
The government can only do so much to reduce the risk from natural disaster you choose by living there,

Karl N.,
Well thank you..I think...?
But so far no one has posted exactly what Gregoire did to "abandon" the flood damaged area, or what she should have done instead.
I think that's pretty good evidence that some anti-Gregoire folks here have nothing substantial to complain about, and would rather appear ungrateful for all the assistance they received from the state, than admit it.

Immediately after the Civil War, white women across the South organized to retrieve the remains of Confederate soldiers. In Virginia alone, these Ladies' Memorial Associations (LMAs) relocated and reinterred the remains of more than 72,000 soldiers. Challenging the notion that southern white women were peripheral to the Lost Cause movement until the 1890s, Caroline Janney restores these women as the earliest creators and purveyors of Confederate tradition.

Book Still The book investigates the concept of information overconsumption. In the 21st century, we are bombarded with vast amounts of information each day as a consequence of the ever-growing digital age. Prior to the introduction of the web, material was harder to source; therefore individuals were more selective over what information they choose to read. This contrast in how we read information today as apposed to pre-digital times inspired me into investigating the processes of navigation and filtering through information on-screen. This book is therefore an outcome of my research and development shown in a publication that represents the day-to-day journey of information consumption that an average person may encounter while browsing online. It expresses how a quick look on Facebook or a browse on YouTube can turn into hours of procrastination or overconsumption of immaterial knowledge.

Standing against big government and for the people!
Grassfire Nation Update
Dear Patriot,
As of this writing, Grassfire Nation has delivered more than
180,000 CITIZEN MANDATES to the new House leaders Rep. John
Boehner and Rep. Eric Cantor.
The impact on these representatives was monumental!
After receiving the Mandates Rep. Boehner sent us a follow-up
letter citing the effect this type of citizen action has
on the decisions of Congress, and the importance of hearing
from their constituents.
Click here to read John Boehner's letter:
+ + Sending Citizen Mandates to the entire Senate and House
Patriot, sending our Mandates and findings to the new House
leadership was just the start...
Tomorrow the 112th Congress will be sworn in - but will your
lawmakers know where you stand on the key issues of the day?
Too much is at stake and conservatives are up against too
much to leave that to chance. That's precisely why Grassfire
Nation launched our CITIZEN MANDATE initiative giving
Americans from coast-to-coast a unique opportunity to
communicate their heart DIRECTLY TO THEIR LAWMAKERS!
That means with a simple click we will deliver YOUR CITIZEN
MANDATE directly to your Senators, and

believe are the important issues that need to be addressed
as they are setting their agenda for the year!
Click here right now to fill-out and schedule your CITIZEN
MANDATE for immediate delivery beginning on January 17:
We cannot allow members of the new Congress to forget -- even
for a moment why they got elected, and who put them there.
That's why these CITIZEN MANDATES are so important, and why
we are asking all members of our team to take a few minutes
to communicate how you feel about today's top issues, from
the repealing of ObamaCare to controlling federal spending,
takeovers, taxes and more.
Through this next delivery to Capitol Hill Grassfire Nation
is putting the collective eyes of our million-plus strong team
on EVERY member in Congress. We want them to feel that
pressure. We want them knowing that we are watching their
every move! We want them to know that we are their conscience!
Click here now to complete your CITIZEN MANDATE for delivery
beginning January 17:
Even if you already filled out and sent a CITIZEN MANDATE
to the new House leaders, we need you to communicate your
feelings to your two Senators and Representative.
After completing your CITIZEN MANDATE, please forward this
alert to 20-30 conservative friends and family members.
Encourage them to first read Rep. Boehner's response to
our initial CITIZEN MANDATES, and then urge them to fill-out
their own for delivery to their lawmakers by clicking below:
Click here to read Rep. Boehner's response and to fill-out
your CITIZEN MANDATE to your lawmakers:
As always, thank you for taking action with Grassfire Nation and

RANSON – Healthcare leaders gathered Monday to announce a new name for the Eastern Panhandle's growing health system and its hospitals here and in Martinsburg.
[cleeng_content id="869415959" description="Read it now!" price="0.15" t="article"]In Ranson, new, temporary signage already is in place christening Jefferson Memorial Hospital as Jefferson Medical Center. City Hospital's new name is Berkeley Medical Center.
At the news conference at Martinsburg's Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center, Robert F. Baronner Jr. – the Bank of Charles Town president who leads the WVUH-East board of directors – also revealed University Healthcare as the new name for West Virginia University Hospitals-East.
The change, according to Baronner, hospital leaders and others involved, is needed to reflect the progress that's taken place since the 1990s when the WVU School of Medicine first established a presence in the Panhandle.
"The next big step in this journey was accomplished in 2005 when a new regional health system, WVUH-East, was created to bring City Hospital and Jefferson Memorial Hospital under one management," explained Bruce McClymonds, president and CEO of WVU Hospitals in Morgantown.
At the time, McClymonds said it made sense to keep the long-established names and simply to tack on "WVUH-East" to each to highlight the partnership with the university.
But in recent months as hospital leaders and others reflected on how much has changed at both hospitals – some $100 million put into improvements, beefed-up physician recruitment, new services and more – McClymonds said a new consensus emerged. "We reached the conclusion that it was time to rebrand," he said at the news conference.
According to Baronner, research showed many in the Panhandle didn't fully recognize the changes made at City and Jefferson Memorial and that they also found the "WVUH-East" moniker "both confusing and awkward."
Said Baronner: "The new name continues to reflect our strong bond with the university and WVU Healthcare, the state's leading teaching medical center. It also more accurately represents us as the premier health system in our region."
Christina DeRosa, the chief administrative officer at the Ranson hospital, told those in attendance at the news conference about how much has happened at the facility since the merger.
"Our strategy has paid off in better technology, more physician specialists, improved facilities and a strong affiliation with a leading teaching medical institution," she said. "We have successfully elevated the care and experience that our patients receive. As medical centers, our names now reflect our commitment to improving access to needed health services."
Anthony Zelenka, DeRosa's counterpart in Martinsburg, hailed the rebranding as much more than just the creation of a new name, website or logo.
"Rebranding should capture the essence of all that an organization is and aims to be," he said. "It should represent what the institution means to its leaders, employees and customers, while capturing both the organization's history and the excitement of new possibilities.
"Careful deliberation went into our rebrand strategy and evaluation, including significant research and branding expertise. We feel confident that the (new) names align with the monumental improvements that have taken place within our health system over the past eight years."[/cleeng_content]

Go get this stuff guys, especially since the price is very affordable!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Berbear from Having trouble blending it out? Read here! So I saw this in corrective yellow, and I couldn't pass it up for the $2. When I first applied it, I was disappointed on how bad it blended out. HOWEVER, I found a couple of little tricks that have completely changed the application! The first thing I do is apply some sort of smoothing primer (I use Maybelline Baby Skin) under my eyes where I apply this, eyeshadow primer works, the elf face primer works. Then the next trick is to not use too much! I've found it applied best when you used thin layers to apply it until you get the coverage you want.If you didn't like it because it was cakey, give it another chance! I really enjoy using this now that I figured it out. And honestly, it will take me forever to get through the amount they give you. Great value!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eljay from Very happy with the coverage and the consistency. I bought the Tan & Medium - just right for my olive medium tone. The secret to applying this is : use your ring finger. warm it with same finger. dab. no need for concealer brush. use 2 layers only. very light powder application so it won't move.
Date published: 2014-08-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by StoryOnPaigeOne from My Go-To Concealer I was apprehensive about buying this product after reading reviews stating that this concealer was too thick. I bought it anyways. Turns out this concealer is my favorite from e.l.f. It is perfect for covering up my blemishes. This product stays put but is easily blendable. I bought it in the shade 'light' and it matches my skin color perfectly! I first tried applying this product with a concealer brush; it got the job done, but wasn't exactly looking up to my standards. Then, one day I decided to use my finger instead, which gave me the look I was wanting. I recommend skipping the brush and using one of your fingers to gently blend out the edges. Yes, this product can be cakey when applied under the eyes, so I would be cautious if you plan to use as an under-eye concealer. I will be repurchasing after the three have are empty.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tatianna from Not even wort the $2! Just looking at the packaging and the price, I wasn't expecting this concealer to be the best and that was definitely true! The?consistency was too thick, it looked cakey even without powder, and there isn't enough color selections! I bought the shade Light and it seemed just a little too light.
Date published: 2014-08-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by thatnerdtori from creamy and effective! Bought this in yellow for under eye concealing and it works great! Good coverage and consistency! I wish it came in corrective green too for redness.
Date published: 2014-07-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by lmr4524 from One of my favorite E.L.F. finds! Creamy and blends well, great coverage without being too too opaque. Like the pan format as it makes it easy to apply with just a dab of the finger. I purchased the yellow as an undereye concealer. I am partial to a mineral concealer on my face but because this has such a nice consistency may try one of the 'flesh' tones.

Both Patriots Nation and Broncos Country are looking forward to Brady/Manning XV. The rest of the planet will probably enjoy the game, too.
Patriots Achieve Historic Comeback Against Broncos
Whenever a regular season NFL game receives as much hype as Sunday night's Broncos/Patriots game did, it often seems as if the actual game is anti-climatic. This one, however, may have exceeded the hype.

Graham & Green Autumn 2009
The Graham & Green catalogue came floating through my door last week. Oh, what a joy! The above pics are on my wish list. I know they are expensive but I convince myself each season that some things I just have to have and for others I will look for cheaper alternatives.
From the website:
Graham & Green is a family run business, born in Notting Hill in the 70's it is now in its 34th year. For Antonia, Jamie and Louise a passion for design and buying allows them to offer a unique sense of style through their successful lifestyle stores and website.
Their other specialty is traveling the world together finding and designing exotic pieces to sell in their stores. Providing exceptional interiors their mix is one of contemporary products that sit comfortably alongside more original pieces from afar.
I found a cheaper deer head - in Marks and Spencer for £25.00.
I would like to make a version of the baroque shelves by scouting vintage stores for old frames that I could mount onto boxes on the wall. I am in two minds about the dog draught excluder as I love the one here but know making my own one will save me a few pounds.
The rest I am still contemplating!
Have a sweet day! x

the frames that are for books are awesome, i bet you could do that, i forgot where i saw it, but there was a tutorial on faux mercury, using spray paintReplyDelete
lovely photos as always!!!ReplyDelete
But who could polish all that metal? I love the door stop but i'm convinced children would run off with it since they run off with even the normal door snakesReplyDelete
+ I have been dieing to find a glass lid for my cake stand FOREVER, so pretty
+Give is a bash if you have time and if the hand made version of whatever you want sucks, spring for the shop items. At that point you know it's worth the cash :)
What awesome images! I love all the mirrors! Have a great day!ReplyDelete
So pretty! Those deer heads aren't scary looking so I wouldn't mind having them in my house, heheReplyDelete

My boyfriend is the outdoorsy type who actually wants real deer heads gracing our walls. No. But I'd be willing to compromise with the silver ones. And I really like the bookends.ReplyDelete

I've just adored G&G forever! Damn lucky for MOTH they don't ship to Australia, or we'd be living in a packing container, nonetheless surrounded by gorgeous G&G pieces & my maxed out credit card statements!ReplyDelete
