The Loose Threads...
My friend Jane and I have been members of the Piecemakers Quilt Guild in Oxford since about 2003. The Piecemakers meet once a month on Saturday and every week on Wednesday morning.
Jane and I can rarely go to the Wednesday morning "sit and sew" -- Jane has many home and family obligations and I, of course, am working.
We've talked for years now about starting our own "sit and sew" at one of our homes.
One of the major drawbacks to that is that we'd have to clean our houses before we let sewing companions come in!
One of our Piecemaker pals recently left her Tuesday sit and sew because of scheduling conflicts. And she had an absolutely wonderful idea and our intrepid Jane came up with the finishing touch!
"The Loose Threads" now meet every other Thursday in the basement of our church, Free Springs United Methodist!
We already have a wonderful variety (conglomeration?) of "sit and sewers" also.
Sonja Tuttle, who lives in Harmontown, loves to quilt "the old fashioned way." Several of our new group, whom I'm ashamed to say I can't remember names, are hand quilters and hand piecers.
Margie Jones, of Holly Springs, is an extraordinary quilter! She machine paper pieces, among a thousand other talents and has a wonderful sense of fantastic colors. (She and I both like "loud!") She's teaching me to paper piece and I absolutely love it! Naturally, I had to get some new rulers and "stuff" so I'm sure that's part of why I'm so happy to be learning to paper piece.
Virginia, one of our church family, is teaching the brand-new quilters from a sampler "learn to quilt" book. I liked the look of the quilt, so I got a book and will hopefully make the quilt along with them.
I think I'm most delighted with a very brand new quilter, because she and I have corresponded through the newspaper, for years now.
Nancy Patterson, recently retired public relations director at Northwest Community College in Senatobia, in addition to working with horses and free-lance journalism, is learning to quilt with us!
When she sent an email saying that she was retiring, I promptly sent an email back -- hoping she had an interesting and time-consuming hobby.
Turns out she wanted to acquire one -- quilting.
Nancy is now one of Virginia's students every other Thursday.
Wanna come "sit and sew" with us? Call me... 662-252-4261

Michigan students may get more money from the state to help them pay for college.
A plan to increase Michigan's merit award scholarship to $4,000 passed a house appropriations committee Tuesday.
Governor Jennifer Granholm is lobbying hard for the bill, but Republicans are concerned about how the state will pay for the increase.
Right now, the state gives high school students, who do well on standardized tests, up to $3,000.
If approved, the increase would be available to the class of 2007.

R's are problematic letters. But I do find that I cannot think of a single word or a single syllable that really comes out the same in English and American. … Almost everything is alien to me. But I got more comfortable with it.
— Hugh Laurie is British. On today's Fresh Air, he talks about playing an American doctor with an American accent.

Hugh Laurie on his character 'House': "The character is so inherently self-destructive to the point of being virtually suicidal, that a fictional character cannot sustain that suicidal tension indefinitely. You can't have a man on a window ledge threatening to jump forever. At some point, he's got to jump or get back into the building because the crowd below – who are either urging him to jump or not jump – eventually will lose interest. And I think because the tension must dissipate eventually. And I certainly felt – and I think that was a general view – that we should fold up our tent and steal away into the night before the tension had lessened." [full interview here]

The lucky septet all work at Gold Star Auto Repair Shop in Queens, including the behind-the-counter sales staff and working stiffs fixing cars. In a way, the most interesting subplot involves one of the mechanics, Antonio (Luis Antonio Ramos), who wound up not contributing to his colleagues' lottery pool, much to the chagrin of his wife (Alex Castillo). (So much for the notion of being thrifty and not throwing one's hard-earned cash away on a pipe dream that amounts to a tax on the poor, but hey, never mind the details.)
"Detroit 1-8-7," and should probably avoid numbers), and directed by Paul McGuigan, the pilot admittedly contains a buoyant moment of exultation when the disparate recipients get the good news, instantly becoming, as one puts it, "like J-Lo rich."
Pretty soon, though, we're into all the attendant complications associated with this sudden windfall, including the ex-con (Stephen Louis Grush) who owes money to the wrong people and his cash-strapped brother (Matt Long), and the overweight sales clerk (Lorraine Bruce) whose husband has been stepping out on her.
For a show like this to work, ultimately, the characters have to take hold and be able to move viewers beyond the initial set-up. But if the pilot is any indication, these folks don't fill the bill. (Notably, "The Nine" -- which also brought a group of people together under extraordinary circumstances -- was a far more accomplished pilot, and even that series quickly spun off the rails.)
ABC has also done the show no favors, seemingly, by scheduling it with three other new series, counting on "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" to lend its power to a wholly revamped Tuesday night with a pair of sitcoms as the bridge.
"Lucky 7" might overcome those challenges and deliver the necessary numbers to justify ABC's big gamble, but taking a page from the mechanic character, don't bet on it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sandie Leigh from Great Cleanser I just purchased this in the last month and I must admit that I found it a little strange at first starting with powder... but you don't need much of the product, add a little water and you have a great, gentle facial cleaner. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Flying Lady from Really nice face cleanser... I just got my order from last week and have a new love. This is the nicest, kindest face cleanser I have ever used. Within the first 4 days my skin looks amazing. I am reordering right now so I don't run out...ever.This is definitely worth every penny. Yep, I'm in love and for a mature lady to see a noticeable difference I just had to share. Have used other brands and they made my skin worse than before I used the product. This, WOW!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mishe from Great Facial Cleanser I love this! I use it daily and it helps my face from breaking out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by guitarwhisperer from The best!! I am very allergic to most facial products and makeup. I have tried everything from drug store brands to more expensive brands to help my oily, aging skin.This is just the best. It takes very little product, is odorless to me, goes on soft and smooth, and more importantly, rinses quickly away. My skin is more balanced and very much improved from what it was. I am thrilled with this product and hope that ELF continues to make it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary444 from Delightful cleanser, will definitely repurchase I wanted a very simple, non-fragrant cleanser and this fits the bill. You wet your hands and face, pour a bit of the powder into your hands and create a lather. The texture is like baking soda and the smell is almost nonexistent, which is nice since so many cleansers tend to be overly fragranced. I love the way this feels as I massage it into my skin and the clean way it rinses off. I will definitely be buying this one when it runs out. Fantastic product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nessfay from Amazing! I just received this in the mail today and tried it right away! Omg this is amazing! After having my first child my skin went from oily combo skin to dry so I'm sensitive to many cleansers. This felt so great on my skin and my skin felt so soft. I felt a tiny bit of dryness but no dry patches and instead of layering on two moisturizers like normal I just spritzed my face with the elf mineral spray. So to conclude great product!

Rated 3 out of 5 by rmihm2 from Face Cleanser I bought this product a couple of weeks ago and haven't been loving it as much as I thought I would. It is not a bad product by any means but there are more cons than pros in my opinion. First of all, it is a powder formula and can be messy. Personally, i don't like the powder formula. Next, it comes half empty due to settling and shipping causing the product to decrease. Lastly, it isn't an outstanding face cleanser. It gets the job done but I feel for $8.00 you can go to Target and by a better face cleanser with more benefits than the e.l.f one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lolitalove from Holy Grail face wash After trying a million face washes I was surprised to find my absolute perfect match from such a cheap brand, but its true!I love this face wash more than any Ive ever used including high end and drugstore. It lasts a long time since it's a powder and yeah, I love it. can't say enough good things about it. leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. I have combo skin, and just for the record I am an esthetician ;)

History of the JCC Maccabi Games
The JCC Maccabi Games have been offering Jewish teens a unique social, cultural, and life shaping experience since 1982. At this Jewish Olympic style event, each athlete participates in one of fourteen sports, social events, and an opportunity to help others during the weeklong experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
The JCC Maccabi Games is an Olympics for Jewish teens, but they serve a larger purpose than athletic competition. The Games also promote community involvement, teamwork, and pride in being Jewish. The Games are the largest Jewish teen event in the world; each summer over 6,000 Jewish teens participate. Over 100,000 teens have benefited from the JCC Maccabi Games since 1982. The energy and excitement makes it a unique and unforgettable experience for every participant, from athlete to volunteers, from coaches to host families.
The JCC Maccabi Games are made possible with the generous help of many volunteers and sponsors who donate time and valuable resources, including our Continental Sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company.
Ages 13-16. Athletes must be 13 or 16 as of July 31, 2014. Sports subject to change and limited by location.

12 June 2014
During the First World War the arrival of the telegram messenger could be a dark omen; a boy on a red bike feared as a portent of the worst possible news.

This talk will look at the changing attitudes and procedures seen in the Home Front Post Office as its workers adapted to change and continued to do their duty. Children under 12 free.

But the coolest part?
"Probably the best thing is not having to do the tarp," Crockett said with a wide smile. "When it rained (in college), pulling it on, pulling it off, was ... kind of miserable."
That Crockett didn't mention his signing bonus, $463,000 according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, or any lavish purchases speaks to a low-key approach, humility even, that has served him well.
"He hasn't really fit in yet," Hibbard said. "You're not going to see him standing up holding court. He's over there tucked in a corner by himself. … Maybe that's just his personality, too. … He kind of leads by example, not by his mouth. That's a very professional way to handle yourself and go about your business."
"That is the young man I coached," Bennett said. "Even-keeled would be an understatement."
The lone run Crockett has yielded came as he pitched for Lake County on July 27 against the Great Lakes Loons. Shortstop Corey Seager hit a home run, the first long ball Crockett had allowed since the lone one he gave up at Virginia, as a freshman.
So over 27-plus months, Crockett pitched 145.1 innings without a home run. That's a remarkable stretch in wiffle ball, softball or good ol' country hardball.
Crockett laughed when I hazed him about finally allowing a homer.
"I knew it was going to happen eventually," he said. "These are good hitters. I got behind in the count and there was a really good hitter at the plate — he hit two more home runs the next day. I just shook it off and went after the next guy."
Akron's season ends Sept. 2, after which the Indians may send Crockett to an instructional league. If not, he'll return to Poquoson and work on bulking up his 175-pound frame, the better to add velocity to his pitches.
The biggest unknown about Crockett: How will he respond to getting cuffed around, when an opponent rocks him for, say, five runs and six hits in an inning?
"It just hasn't happened yet," Bennett said. "He's been throwing so well."
Crockett stays in touch with Bennett and Virginia coach Brian O'Connor, and former Cavaliers teammate Will Roberts, an Aeros starter, has made him more comfortable in Akron. But while appreciating his past, Crockett relishes the future.
"It was tough to leave (Virginia)," he said, "but it really wasn't that tough a decision to take the offer. I was ready to play pro ball."
He most certainly was.

I won the State of the Art Cinema 'design a movie poster' competition. I am overjoyed and excited to be offered a design role for an upcoming film release from Metrodome Distribution. It's an opportunity I have been working towards for over 4 years and a chance for me to further my career into the film industry. You can find the finished poster to the left in my gallery plus here is a link to the project yuyanda.cgsociety.org/portfoli…
The award was for a quad poster design created for new wave indie comedy Frances Ha starring Greta Gerwig and directed by Noah Baumbach. It's not the first film poster based competition I have won but possibly the most significant one so far. In 2009 I won Best Poster in the Odeon Short Film Competition for my work on 'Dummy', check it out yuyanda.deviantart.com/gallery…
Creativity, coffee and a tapestry of ideas!
An old idea myself and a fellow friend/artist of mine were conceptualising before he moved to the states, an idea that I, excuse me, we thought is pretty special...but who knows? We'll just have to wait and see but the potential is definitely!
I'm not gonna give the idea away but instead lead your mind in the right direction with a sort of Idealised Synopsis
"Tapestry of abstract stories told in mixed mixed mediums and styles with spoken verse and subtitled with a musical score and code as an after thought.."

Apple's Notebook Event, Live Coverage details can be found via:
Finally, after struggling for over a week to sync my iPhone to my Mac via MobileMe, I came across a solution on Apple's User Forum. It was a simple fix, but I just didn't know where to start. Woohoo!!!
System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync Tab is grayed out when clicked. Can't sync Address Book, iCal, Mail, iTunes, or iPhone or iPod Touch. Error Message: "…[app name] cannot sync information with the iPhone "iPhone_Name" because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?" (yes or no) After clicking YES, it says "syncing cannot be enabled on this computer." It allows you to cancel or "override" and continue. It will ask you to override every time you try this. There's a conflict with the user account being deactivated thru Apple.
SOLUTION: Below is are the "How To" steps to solve this issue:
After following these steps, it now lets me access the sync panel in the MobileMe System Preferences. Hopefully this will help if you, too, are struggling with the same issue I (and many others) had this past week.
Solution via Apple's Forum http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8049797#8049797
Senduit is a super simple way to share a file via a private link. Step 1: Choose your file to upload. Step 2: Choose expiration time period: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 1 week. Then simply click the Upload button and you're done! A private link will be given to you that you can send to friends or colleagues via email, text, etc. Senduit was created by the developer of Tumblr, David Karp.
Drop.io enables you to create simple, private exchange points, called "drops." The service has no email signup or accounts to join. Each drop is private and only as accessible as you choose to make it. Create multiple drops, add any type of media, and share or subscribe as you want. You can add drops via the web, email, cell phone, widget. This is a great tool for family and friends, schools, businesses, workgroups, meetings, etc. You can even send and receive faxes via Drop.io! No long distance charges…always free. Amazing! This is my new favorite transfer site; It replaces FTP for me!
YouSendIt allows you to send one file (up to 100mb) for FREE…to a central web location where friends or colleagues can download it. There are 3 paid versions; $9.99/mo., $29.99/mo. and $99.99/mo. that each offer up to a 2GB file to be shared, and give other options like control over your file, multiple files via .Zip, tracking, security, etc.
RapidShare is very simple and quick to use and offers unlimited uploads (max of 100 MB per file) and unlimited downloads. Wow! Easy as choosing your file to upload and receiving a download link to share it.
MegaUpload offers Free upload and download manager for fast transfers, plug 50 GB of online storage. Files are ready to download in less than one minute after they've been uploaded, and it offers built-in support for resuming broken uploads and downloads. File folders and reward points are extra included features. Unfortunately you have to sign up for this free membership…kind of a hassle for me.
Final Thoughts
There are many more sites out there that offer file transfer or storage services, but these were among the best or most popular that I have found. My top choice is probably Drop.io because of the flexible control features a that I don't have to create an account. Quick, easy, and FREE. Senduit is #2 on my list.
Until next time…Think Vizual.

A Better Way…
According to Warren Buffett, the top 2 investing rules are…
Rule No. 1: Never lose money.
Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1.
What we can take from those rules is that the most important aspect of financial planning is having an investment approach that protects you from large losses and still gives you an opportunity to make money over the long-term. Very few people actually have that.

Tactical Asset Allocation
"The best offense is a great defense."
Are you utilizing the appropriate defensive strategies for your portfolio?
Today's economic and financial climate are extremely dangerous and could lead to a large, fast drop in asset prices. Do you have a strategy to get out of the way quickly should that happen?
"Set it and forget it" methods of investing like mutual funds, do not usually work. So-called "guaranteed" products, like annuities, are expensive, often lock people into low returns forever and aren't always as safe as advertised.
Tactical Asset Allocation using some of America's top financial minds can offer protection that sales driven investment approaches don't. Call today to find out how a tactical investment strategy can protect your retirement nest-egg and secure your lifestyle.
Punch Card Stocks
Warren Buffett has famously said that investing in only twenty stocks, represented by a punch card, could improve your financial welfare. That is the impetus behind my "Punch Card" Stock Portfolio. These are the roughly twenty companies that I believe belong in the long-term growth portion of your portfolio and mine.

On Wednesday night, when the Denver Nuggets roll into the Rose Garden to face the Blazers, there's a pretty good chance that this will be the game with the biggest gap in trajectory between the two teams facing off. The Nuggets have lost seven games in the last two months, they're currently two and a half games from home court advantage in the first round of the Playoffs, and even though they didn't (or at least haven't) lived up to the major hype dumped on them in the pre-season by the likes of John Hollinger, the Nuggets are AT WORST a second-round Playoff out.
We all know where the Blazers are and where they are going. More than that, though, Portland is right on the verge of being well within the rational time frame for shutting down their "Playoff run" rhetoric and handing 20 minutes a night to Meyers Leonard, Victor Claver, Will Barton, and maybe even Joel Freeland. The Nuggets are on the up, heading in exactly the right direction. The Blazers are heading in the right direction too, but they're still on the down-side of the upswing (if that makes any sense).
Blazers Starting 5: PG Damian Lillard, SG Wesley Matthews, SF Nicolas Batum, PF LaMarcus Aldridge, C J.J. Hickson
Nuggets Starting 5: PG Ty Lawson, SG Andre Iguodala, SF Wilson Chandler, PF Kenneth Faried, C Kosta Koufos
Portland has beaten Denver, and they can beat Denver. Those facts aren't up for debate. What is, though, is whether or not on Wednesday night the Blazers will have that same mojo they dug up for their pretty inspiring win last week over the Boston Celtics.
In that win, Portland needed a little bit of everything, 10 rebounds from Victor Claver, five threes from Wesley Matthews, clutch work in the paint from Damian Lillard. If the Blazers can com up with those same kind of plays against the Nuggets, they'll be in good shape.
However, there are some significant differences between the Nuggets and the Celtics, even if both teams get the bulk of their scoring from the wings and rely on speedy ball handlers to penetrate and create space. Boston is a grind-it-out defensive team. By comparison, Denver is totally fine with simply trying to outscore their opponent. Over the course of this month, the Nuggets have only failed to score 100 points one time.
Coincidentally, that one sub 100-point game was a home win by Denver over the Celtics. In all four of their losses in February, the Nuggets scored at least 108 points. Even in losing efforts, this Denver squad can fill it up.
The upside, though, is the Nuggets play fast and loose, with little to no emphasis on shut-down defense. Portland will be able to score, that won't be the issue. If the Blazers want to get a win Wednesday, they'll need to put all of their energy into defense. Denver will give up scores. If Portland can avoid getting caught up in a scoring contest, they'll have a chance Wednesday.
What to Watch For
- Eric Maynor. My prediction is that Maynor will finish his first run of Blazer games (from the Celtics game until the end of the season) averaging between 20 and 25 minutes per. Maynor played 14 minutes and 49 seconds in his debut on Sunday. He wasn't amazing, but to his credit it was his longest run in an NBA game since logging basically 20 minutes with the Thunder in a game way back on the 1st of December. Portland's newest acquisition has played more than 20 minutes only twice this season. He'll go over 20 minutes at least 10 times as the Blazers play out what remains of 2012-13. My guess is he hits that 20 minute mark for the first time Wednesday night. Maynor knows how to run the point, he's a confident ball player, and he's out to prove that OKC made a big mistake by swapping him to an in-division rival for absolutely nothing. Maynor will go head to head with Andre Miller, Wednesday night. That might be the match-up to watch.
- Can Portland get some contributions from unexpected places. Victor Claver is coming off his very best run of the season. Hopefully he'll be able to follow it up. Will Barton plays well when the other team plays no defense. Joel Freeland still has a ton of potential. If one of those guys can put together a big night, the Blazers will put themselves in position to get a win.
- Shooting. Portland has become a knock-down shooting team. When they make their shots they win. Last time the Nuggets and the Blazers played in the Rose Garden, Denver couldn't make a shot outside of the painted area. The Nuggets aren't going to miss all 22 of their three-point attempts again, and the Blazers aren't going to win if they once again give up 74 points in the paint, however, if Portland can knock down a decent number of jump shots, they can win on Wednesday.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Joel email@example.com Thanksgiving is a memorable time for many, filled with food, fun, and family socializing. For those who aren't careful, however, the festive holiday can become highly flammable. The fire departments in Henry County and Clayton County say they want residents in the Southern Crescent to have the safest weekend possible, and they've offered tips on how to eliminate holiday hazards. Sabrina Puckett, Henry County fire department captain, said that every year, more than 4,000 Americans die in fires, 1,200 of which occur during the holiday season. She warned that deep-fried turkey, while increasingly popular, poses a significant fire risk. "They need to read the owner's manual before they use [a turkey deep fryer,] " said Puckett. "They need to use all of the proper precautions, because it's very flammable and it doesn't take much for it to flip over." Puckett said most turkey fryers have no temperature controls and can boil over very easily. She said turkey frying should only be done on a flat, concrete surface, a good distance from the home, and that only smaller turkeys, no more than 12 pounds, should be used. Landry Merkison, Clayton County fire department battalion chief, said cooking-related fires are very common during Thanksgiving and turkey fryers add an extra element of danger to Thanksgiving. He said one of the most dangerous things to do is fry an unthawed turkey. "The turkey fryers add a little extra fuel to the fire, so to speak," said Merkison. "When you put ice crystals in hot grease, it overflows and it causes a really bad reaction." Merkison said oils with a high fat content, such as vegetable oil, ignite at low temperatures, so low fat oils such as peanut, Canola, or safflower oil should be used. He said the fryer should "be a good 20 feet away from the house if possible." Merkison said many fires can be avoided if people stop and take time to remember what they are doing. "With a lot of people around, things can slip your mind," said Merkison. "The best thing people can do during the holidays is slow down, take that extra walk through the house, and make sure everything is done. Make sure that all the eyes on the stove are off. Make sure all the candles are blown out." Merkison said extra precautions should be taken for small children, such as making sure pot handles face inward on the stove and small sharp objects aren't left around for children to stick in their mouths. Puckett said the time after Thanksgiving is a common time for people to start putting up their Christmas decorations. She said Christmas trees present a variety of dangers, particularly live trees which have not been watered. "During the holiday season, there are over 1,200 fires and 190 fire injuries associated with improper holiday tree and candle care," said Puckett. She said live trees should be constantly watered and never kept near a heat source, as they can easily dry out and become combustible. Puckett added that frayed or broken Christmas lights also present a hazard. She said to avoid using strings of lights with insulation gaps and to never leave lit Christmas lights unattended. In addition to fires, Merkison said firefighters respond to a number of calls related to out-of-town travelers leaving their medications at home. He said those going out of town for Thanksgiving should take stock of their medications before they leave. He said that if a fire does occur, having an escape plan and making sure everybody knows that plan is paramount to saving lives. "If you do have an incident at your house, know how to get out of your house and know where to meet," said Merkison. "If you have people over there, you should talk to them and discuss with them where to meet. If everybody is standing there and can say, 'we're all accounted for,' then we can get down to business. That is the No. 1 way that people can make our jobs easier."

Good Questions: Cheap DIY Soundproofing Solution?
Reader Beau asks:
I'm moving into a studio loft next weekend n a building that is notorious for its thin walls. I don't have much by way of furniture but will eventually be furnishing the apartment, yet I don't want to do so until I've got a solution to the sound issues.
Since I'm renting, what are some relatively inexpensive, non-permanent but aesthetically pleasing solutions to soundproofing that I can DIY install?
Whether it's keeping the noise in or out of your home, soundproofing is important when it comes keeping the neighbors happy. Especially if you're a proud parent of a child that enjoys playing the drums or an owner of a 1000 watt, window-rattling subwoofer.
We liked the "green" DIY soundproofing method suggested by Wired.com a while back, using nothing but a pack of Green Glue and a piece of custom-cut sheet rock:
"Home theater aficionados and soundproofing geeks are all atwitter over the latest in soundproofing technology: a gooey compound called Green Glue that converts sound energy into heat.
Green Glue compares favorably with conventional methods of soundproofing walls and ceilings, like factory-damped drywall. But it's much cheaper: A case of 12 tubes costs only $175, and is enough to cover a decent sized wall."
Other suggestions for ceilings include lining it with Green Glue, a few wood panels, and then nailing a piece of sheet rock (but also making sure the ceiling can support the weight). We wouldn't want anyone to get crushed by their own sheet rock now.
As for soundproof flooring, you can look into high-density vinyl flooring to keep the noise echoing and penetration to a minimum.
Anyone out there have any other ideas? Please let us know in the comments!

I've got a wall of these in my listening room, make the room sound much better. Not sure how great they are for keeping sound out of your place, that wasn't an issue for me. Might be worth a shot though.
You could hang some heavy fabric type panels on the offending wall.
book shelves filled with books may help as well.
Cork flooring panels. Use them on the floor or on a wall or two.
This stuff is pretty good, comes in 1" and 2" thicknesses and you can use it as a tack board. Compared to some of the "real" acoustical solutions, it's also pretty cheap.
Rather or not it's aesthetically pleasing, well that's up to you. I've seen the stuff in person and think the charcoal color is actually pretty nice, has a nice texture, and could be a cool backdrop to some nice art.
having as many soft surfaces as you can will help, even if it's not directly blocking the noise from coming in. the noise will get absorbed instead of bouncing around the room.
I dig the cork wall idea.
I should print this out and slip it under the door of the woman who lives above me and walks in High Heels at 2 AM on hardwood floors.... which happen to be right over my bed.
it's not clear if you are trying to keep sound out or in. some of the suggestions above may help with keeping your sound in, but not with your neighbors' sound out. it seems like acoustical engineers agree that sound travels through joists and empty cavities and not just through the wall, so before investing any money to caulk or add sheet rock to an existing wall, you should do some research or get an estimate from a contractor. good luck.
Thirding the cork idea- it's a huge sound absorber. You want a material that will absorb sound waves instead of reflect or transmit them. Some DIY home recording studios use pegboard from home improvement stores for a similar effect. Fabric drapings also help.
Watched an episode of Holmes on Homes. He installed some drywall (QuietRock QR-525) that was equal to 8 layers of standard drywall. Here's a clip that I found online:
People make great sound-absorbers. We're basically just bags of water, and suck up all the energy from the vibrations.
So always have friends over for drinks.
Or go to wally's.
So far, not a single response directly addresses the original concern.
The solution should be
1) able to keep neighbor sounds out
2) temporary, since it is a rental
3) essentially DIY
(and considering 2 & 3...)
4) cheap
I would love to hear easy, temporary solutions as obviously installing new drywall or windows in my rental apartment is not an option...
QuietGlue is 20% cheaper than GreenGlue. It will be a better option.
I'm sure you think it's a better option. After all, you work for them...
Your most cost effective solution will be to find another place to rent.
Soundproofing Company sites offers some good insight to this type of noise problem. To get remarkable results you will need to go to some extreme lengths, but if your apartment is in the right place at the right cost, then it might be worth putting a months worth of rent into it. I read this post
Soundproofing solutions for walls. There are a bunch of stuff I didn't even think about on their site. I learned to think of my room as a fish tank. Look for the leaks. There are a ton. The question is how far do you want to go.
I decided to installed Green Glue in my rental and it was worth doing. The landlord still doesn't know but I did all the drywall work myself. I wasn't that hard. Well worth the money for feeling like I finally have some privacy!! Side note: I'm on year two of my lease.

Review: Capital One® Quicksilver® Cash Rewards Credit Card – Easy Cash Back
Credit Karma advertising partner Capital One has launched two new credit cards—Quicksilver and QuicksilverOne Rewards.
These cards replace the Capital One Cash Card and aim to make earning cash back simpler and more straightforward. In this post, we'll discuss the new Capital One cards and some related cards from our advertising partners.
What's the benefit?
Most cash back credit cards use a calendar of rotating categories to give you higher cash back earnings on certain items or in certain stores quarterly. But the Quicksilver keeps it simple. Here's what you get:
Edging out the competition?
The competitors in this space aim at category-specific cash back earnings:
Discover It: This card has a goal of being more consumer-friendly by offering more flexibility in the form of waiving the first late fee, eliminating several other fees, and letting cardholders choose their due date. Like other cards on this list, Discover It has a 1% cash back on all purchases along with 5% on revolving categories. You can read our Discover It review on the blog. Apply for the Discover It.
Chase Freedom: This tried-and-true card gives you 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in combined purchases between July 1 and September 30, 2014. That's a nice benefit, unless you neglect to enroll. Then your spending will default to unlimited 1% cash back that the Chase Freedom offers on other categories. Apply for the Chase Freedom Visa.
Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard: This cash back card for average credit consumers works on a points system. You earn 2 points per $1 spent on gas, groceries and utilities and 1 point per $1 spent on other purchases. The points can be used like cash to pay for purchases on the card. Apply for the Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard.
What should I consider before applying?
The Quicksilver Rewards Card isn't for everyone. You'll need excellent credit to get this card. If your credit's less-than-perfect, you might qualify for the QuicksilverOne Rewards Card. The difference between the two is that the QuicksilverOne Rewards Card has a $39 annual fee. But that can be quickly offset by the cash back earned, if you spend wisely and pay off your balance each month.
As always, make sure to check your current credit standing on Credit Karma before you apply. And avoid applying for several cards at once, as the multiple hard inquiries will ding your credit.

|I love your 'Replikated' posts! Please keep doing them! :)
Seriously, thank you so much. I am so happy that you enjoy them! I'll keep doing them if you keep reading them!
For this week's replikated post, I thought we'd go back in time a little bit to around a year ago when the royals were enjoying the 2012 Olympic Games. Most of you will remember Kate's effortlessly chic casual wear throughout the games, and this week's post celebrates my personal favorite look.
The Duchess joined much of the rest of the family to cheer on cousin-in-law Zara Phillips as she strove for a medal at the Equestrian Dressage event. The royal family looked fantastic in all of their dressed-down splendor, but it was Kate who stole the show. Her wavy hair was made even more voluminous than normal by the humidity and she spent much of the afternoon laughing and looking quite happy and relaxed with her husband, Prince William and brother-in-law, Prince Harry.
Though the jeans, blazer, and wedges look was quickly becoming her uniform for all of her appearances, this particular version of the outfit managed to look fresh and even a little bit luxurious. Her Smythe blazer, a favorite of hers, was paired with a classic breton stripe tank and thrifty Zara slim fit jeans. Simple pearl studs, Stuart Weitzman 'Corkswoon' wedges, and a Russel & Bromley navy blue clutch finished off the look. The Duchess managed to pull off a casual ensemble that still very much retained a 'royal' quality. It also, however, had a royally large price tag. As you can see in the picture below, it cost quite a bit to put this whole look together.
Luckily, getting a similar look doesn't have to break the bank. This look is classic and can work for a ton of different occasions. You could even swap out the jeans with trousers to create an ensemble that would be perfect for the office. A navy blazer is a staple for your wardrobe and can be worn with so many other items, that it will pay for itself in no time.
Thanks for reading! As always, if you ever have a request for a specific Kate look, all you have to do is ask! Hopefully, we will have new pictures of the Duchess next week, along with a new outfit to replikate!

This is a hidden gem off the main street of downtown Geneva. It was an old stucco house with many rooms that adds to its charm. There is outdoor seating & a martini bar upstairs. I always get great service here & the food is delicious!
Went back to Villa Verone, after being disappointed a couple of years ago. I thought the food was very good and will be going back in the future. It is nice to sit outside in the summer.
The atmosphere looks very good but the dishes served are definitely not anything special.
No flavor to the entrees, overcooked pasta and all with the same taste. Apart from the name on the menu, the dishes do not seem to be part of Italian cuisine. Good cheese cake.
The service quite poor and rude.
Love the atmosphere. Love that it is privately owned. Love the homey feeling. Love sitting outside on the patio having a glass of wine. Food is great. Try the appetizer of eggplant with ricotta cheese with marinara sauce-even if you do not like egg plant or ricotta cheese(like me) . You will still love it--and it is healthy. Food is...
We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night with about 10 couples. Service was pretty good although the food took a long time to get. I had the tilapia special-it was pretty flavorless. My husband also had a special-veal, chicken, and sausage which he really enjoyed. Nice evening but very long.
The service we received was great. We sat outside on a beautiful night and the restaurants bug zappers did their work. No bites for anyone! The food was delicious and filling. No room for desert! They were very accommodating to our friend who can't eat gluten. She was told to order what she wanted and they would make it gluten...
Worst Italian food I've had in the Chicagoland area, EVER. For starters, the fried calamari was rubbery and had a slight scent of ammonia. The bruschetta was uneventful.
I didn't want to be the first to say, but it didn't take long before one member of our party said his drink tasted watered down. Everyone else concurred except for the...
This restaurant is easily missed as it is not off the main road in Geneva. However, while set back from the curb, this restaurant offers excellent Italian food in a very beautiful and casual setting. On a nice, pleasant evening you can enjoy eating outside - or dine upstairs or downstairs - each room offers a very different environment from...
Everything about this place was great!! The drinks were kept full, the bread was fresh and warm, the food was great and everything was modestly priced! Best of all was the atmosphere! Loved it!
We met dear friends at Villa Verone in January 2014 for dinner. None of us had been to this restaurant, but it was central to all of our houses and received decent reviews on TripAdvisor. We made Saturday night reservations in the upstairs room where the live music takes place. The whole night was a nice experience, food, service and...

Nike Air PR1 – Black – Anthracite | Available
September 28th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 7 comments
Reebok filed suit against Nike a couple years back for patent infringement over the flexible Free sole, and though the suit failed, the Zig Tech line has emerged with its own blend of bendability and smooth cushioning. Every sneaker brand can be seen using each others ideas and this wasn't the first time the Swoosh borrowed a concept from the Vector. The Nike Air Pressure released back in 1989 to compete with RBK's legendary Pump lineup, and its back in spirit with the new Nike Air PR1. A tighter, non-pressurized take on the original, these go down route RT1 by combining the slimmed-down '80s basketball aesthetic with the familiar Air Jordan III midsole tooling from around that same time. The first pair features an all-black colorway, with hints of primary color on the tongue tag. Check out more shots after the jump and grab yours today from JBseller on eBay.

Project Morpheus seems to be lagging behind Oculus Rift a bit
by Brett Makedonski
As the virtual reality races wages on, different prototypes keep coming out for Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift. I had yet another chance to play two new titles on Project Morpheus at Tokyo Game Show. While they were certainly unique in their own right, it's tough not to feel as if Oculus is a bit ahead of Sony's project.
The first game that we played was The Deep – a shark attack simulator. Ascending from the depths of the ocean in a deep sea cage, I had a first-person view of an angry shark as he tried relentlessly to rip the vessel apart and feast. I'm sure I'm delicious, but I didn't want it to find out.
I was equipped with a gun that fired flare-like projectiles, which could be aimed based on the positioning of the DualShock 4. Unfortunately, I don't think these shots were actually effective in any way, and were only included to make the experience interactive. Still, it was fairly incredible to watch the shark lurk, circling the cage and slowly ripping it apart.
By the end of the ride, I made it to the surface intact. The finale held one last, grand attack in which I was sure the demo would end grimly. It didn't, as the shark gave up and went back to the deep unknown to terrorize other unlucky creatures.view full story + comments
SoundSelf with Oculus Rift is the ultimate trip
by Alessandro Fillari
It's no secret that gaming conventions are fertile ground for developers to try out their new creations. Back in April, Jonathan Holmes got the chance to check out SoundSelf with Robin Arnott, the creator of the unorthodox horror title Deep Sea, and saw first hand the impression it had on players. Utilizing virtual reality, players are taken for a ride through their own personal odyssey of light and sound.
During the hustle and bustle of PAX Prime, I got the chance to go on a special trip of my own, and it was clear that SoundSelf made quite a name for itself on the show floor. I also got some time to speak with Robin Arnott about his creation and the desire to create an existential experience that brings players to a state of zen and wonder.view full story + comments
