Eames rocking chair would be good or a very cool sheet set :) knick knacks and jewelry are all welcome!
Letterpress calendars or exquisitely packaged chocolates are usually safe. Most designers are so particular about the objects they wear or use to decorate that you are generally better off going with something disposable. Or so I keep trying to explain to my mom :)
All new Marvin windows with prairie style grill & true divided lights. Ha! Maybe I'll win the lottery....
Nisse Strinning's beautifully simply "String" wall-mounted shelves. Hard to find in the States, unavailable in Canada.
Jill Rosenwald Newport Rug, I've been eyeing it all year and it'd go great with my new yellow sectional that I got at a bargain on Craigslist, west elm Blake sectional for $700!! I'm asking for cash since I've saved up for the rug, definitely a splurge for my budget
An additional room in apartment!
Dishwasher drawer or tankless water heater.

The center consoles of 1987 to 1993 Mustangs have inherent design flaws that cause the door to stop functioning after a short time.
This 14 piece kit is a permanent fix for this problem that does not necessitate the need for a new door, spring or center console panel.

Two weeks is an eternity in the NFL.
It's time enough to get healthy; time enough to recommit to the running game; time enough--if you're Josh McDaniels--to regain the faith of an entire city, fan base, and organization.
To say that Josh McDaniels was coaching for his very job is to overstate the importance of today's game.
To say that today's game was just another game, however, is to ignore the obvious. Josh McDaniels--no, the entire Broncos organization--needed today's win.
They needed the win so badly that McDaniels brought in none other than John Elway to give the Broncos a pep talk earlier in the week; despite the disappointing off-field actions of DJ Williams, everyone must have listened.
If today's game is what we'll get from an inspired Broncos team, I say bring in The Duke for the remaining 7 games.
Welcome back to the AFC West, Denver.
Enjoy the games, and Go Broncos!! Plus, some Week 10 humor courtesy of IAOFM friend Joe Howard. Thanks, Joe!
This week we saw both the Country Music and the Latin Grammy Awards.
If only we could only give Peter King an award for word count.
As we usually do, we ask our random number generator (RNG) to makes its picks for the week's NFL games. We then compare these picks to the so-called experts. To make things even more lively, I include my cat, Jesus Quintana, in on the picks, along with Doug Lee and myself (Doc Bear is too smart for this). The RNG is simply armed with the notion that 57% of the time, the home team is a winner in the NFL. Quintana picks between two quarters as I drop them to the floor. Doug Lee uses his Deep-Blue mind.
I use Kahlua and a proprietary mathematical formula. If that doesn't work, I listen to Darrius Rucker and watch telenovelas until the picks come.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! According to Lindsay Jones, any suspension that DJ Williams faces from the NFL in relation to his DUI arrest will not come until next season. This is clearly good news for the Broncos, especially with the continuing absence of Robert Ayers. As for the game, today is basically it for the 2010 Broncos. They can pull themselves within two games of the Chefs with a victory, although they'll remain in last place in the AFC West regardless. Of course, a victory today would also be the first one at home for Josh McDaniels' Broncos against a division rival...
The Broncos have released the following statement:
"The Denver Broncos are extremely disappointed in D.J. Williams' careless and irresponsible actions on Friday morning. This type of behavior is taken very seriously by the organization. The Broncos have levied the heaviest fines possible to him for conduct detrimental to the club under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement due to the disruption and resulting impact on the team. He will not start in Sunday's game against the Chiefs and has been stripped of his captaincy for the season. Any further possible discipline stemming from this incident will be determined by the league's policies and the legal system."
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Well, so much for leadership, huh? All the talk of DJ Williams finding comfort in the familarity of a position and perhaps improving his play just went out the window. Oh, and he's a captain to boot. The speculation is that Williams will eventually face a 2- or 4-game suspension from the league, since this isn't his first rodeo. But that is not likely to come before there is a conviction or some sort of plea on his part. Way to go, DJ. All those millions and you can't get someone to drive you around when you've been overserved? No, you don't have to be a role model for kids or Broncos fans - not that you have any say in that matter. But you are most definitely paid to be one of the better Broncos as a player, and you wear the "C" on your jersey because you're expected to provide leadership and a good example for your teammates - especially the younger ones. Yet you've blown it again, just like the coverage on this debacle. Here's to hoping that if you do in fact suit up tomorrow, there's no longer a "C" there...
As previously announced, Robert Ayers and Andre' Goodman are out for tomorrow's game. Darcel McBath, Kevin Vickerson and Wesley Woodyard were again limited in practice and are listed as questionable.
After looking at a lot of game tape on the Chiefs, one thing strikes you immediately about this team.
Charlie Weis is an excellent offensive coordinator.
After spending hours watching game film on the Chiefs, it was hard to discern many patterns--believe me, I looked.
In one game, Weis opened up out of the shotgun. In the next he ran a lot of two-back sets and play action. Then the next game there was a lot of shifting and motion out of the backfield and with the tight ends. He runs out of power formations and the max-protection shotgun. In short, Weis keeps his opponents off balance.

ABC7 News of Denver is reporting that Broncos LB DJ Williams was arrested early this morning on suspicion of driving while under the influence. Williams was arrested under similar circumstances in September of 2005.
Via Twitter, Vic Lombardi says he saw Williams at last night's Nuggets game. Meanwhile, Mike Klis says to eventually expect a league suspension of 2-4 games for Williams.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! No changes on the injury front, as Darcel McBath, Kevin Vickerson and Wesley Woodyard were again limited in practice. For Kansas City, four players were limited but all are expected to play. Meanwhile, the Falcons pulled off a last-minute victory at home on a 33-yard TD pass from Matt Ryan to Roddy White. Interestingly, Ryan is now 18-1 at home during his NFL career. His only loss? Week 11 of the 2008 season, when White dropped a last-minute 45-yard pass in the end zone against our Denver Broncos.
It's Chefs week in Denver, which means one thing. Actually, it means a lot of things - incessant Montana/Elway/MNF replays, talk of the best rivalries in pro sports, comparisons between Josh McDaniels and Todd Haley, and questions of who has the better home-field advantage. Let's test your Broncos/Chefs knowledge with a Thursday edition of Trivia Trough. We've compiled 16 questions regarding some of the most memorable figures in this cherished rivalry. Some will bring up fond recollections, while others will summon nasty demons. As always, last names suffice.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - "I kept thinking, 'I came here with a kidney
stone, and now I'm going to lose all four of my limbs,"' Merlyna
Adams recalled.
That was more than a year ago. Now, with artificial arms and
legs, the veteran St. Charles Parish school administrator is back
at work as principal of St. Rose Elementary School.
Adams, 44, had checked into the hospital because of pain in her
side. She slipped into septic shock, and her dangerously low blood
pressure triggered myriad complications: congestive heart failure,
kidney failure, respiratory failure.
Then they dropped the "A" word.
It's been a long road to recovery for the St. John the Baptist
Parish native. She spent more than 70 days in the hospital in 2007,
hooked up to a respirator in intensive care for weeks at a time.
Teams of doctors, specialists and nurses tried for nine months to
avoid amputation.
After that proved impossible, Adams pushed through a year of
physical therapy, sometimes twice a day, to learn to walk on her
prosthetic legs and control her prosthetic ands. She said she has
come to embrace the change as much as she can, knowing that her
story can help motivate others who may be struggling to get through
hard times.
"I think people need to realize that whenever you're
encountering something that you didn't think you could get through,
you can," she said. "Just like they fought hard to keep me here,
I'm going to fight hard to stay here and make my life better."
Adjusting to quadruple amputation has presented plenty of
challenges. Driving, for now, is out. So is getting dressed on her
own in the morning. Once-routine tasks, from walking up stairs to
holding a pencil or eating popcorn at the movie theater, require
"Everything in life, I had to kind of figure out how to do it
differently, and I still do every day," she said.
That much is clear from a look around her desk. Her computer is
equipped with a trackball instead of a mouse; a book holder keeps
documents in place inside a folder, making page-turning more
manageable; a plastic handle on her telephone lets her pick it up
without grasping the receiver.
Many of her friends and family pitched in to help. Colleagues
sent cards, made photo collages, and even put together a cookbook
as a fundraiser to show their support.
"I had to show them that I was determined and let them know
that I was going to be OK," said Adams, who has been an educator
for 24 years.
It left a lasting impact on her co-workers and her students -
who school officials say have become more understanding and more
aware of accepting people who are different, though it takes a keen
eye to notice the principal's artificial hands.
"Just through her inspiration, it gave me an opportunity to
really tap into my creative side," said Dana Perillo, a literacy
teacher at St. Rose.
Such a strong show of support was no surprise to St. Charles
Parish schools superintendent Rodney Lafon, who described Adams as
"a genuine person and a true professional, with everything she
does and with the way she runs her school."
"Those teachers, they love her and they'd do anything for
her," Lafon said.

The Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society has a new executive director, just the 11th since it was founded in 1862.
Melissa Brown, formerly director of research and interpretation at the museum, succeeds Cynthia Conides, a Buffalo State College professor who will now return to her full-time job after serving as a loaned executive for the past four years.
Brown will transition into the new position as Conides reverts to the college's Museum Studies Program by Dec. 31, though she will stay on part time as curator of special projects. The transition time also gives Brown time to complete work on a major museum initiative, "John Mix Stanley's Trial of Red Jacket," opening in October at the Nottingham Court museum.
Brown helped create the "Buffalo Bills 50th Anniversary Season" exhibit last fall, and has worked closely with Conides on a series of recent initiatives. An expert in managing collections, she has consulted on more than a dozen major exhibits at the society and other Western New York museums.
Joan Bukowski, board president, said in a prepared release the appointment is a logical transition of expert leadership.
"The board of managers is delighted that Melissa can move seamlessly to carry on the work Cynthia initiated to grow and modernize the museum," she said. "We are impressed by her innovation and imagination and look forward to where she will take us."
Brown, who holds a bachelor's degree in history with a museum studies minor from the Oswego State College, joined the staff in 1998 as a collections assistant. She has since earned a master's degree in historical administration from Eastern Illinois University.
Dec. 31 also represents the end of the present four-year agreement between the museum and Buffalo State College. The "memorandum of understanding" allows the college, located across Elmwood Avenue from the museum, to aid the museum, as it did with Dr. Conides' involvement. The board and the college are currently negotiating an extension, which will start Jan. 1, 2011.

The Day Treatment Program provides these students with alternative learning opportunities under the authority of Section 23 of the Education Act. In conjunction with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Delisle helps students stay in school, earn high school credits and succeed.
At the Day Treatment Program, students learn in smaller, more focused classes capped at eight students, with one TDSB teacher and one Delisle youth worker per class. They attend up to three academic classes per day, participate in a life skills group, and meet with their primary workers to build on the strengths they already have and focus on the changes that will help them be successful in life.
This transitional program prepares students to either re-enter mainstream schools, or find employment.
The Day Treatment Program is for teens struggling in mainstream schools who are experiencing: mental health, family or substance use issues. For our students depression or anxiety might be making it difficult to get to school or focus on school work when so much is going on in life.
It all starts with a phone call and intake appointment. Each student who comes to the program receives an assessment of their mental health and academic needs and together with our staff and TDSB teachers develops an action plan for success. Families are involved every step of the way.
The Day Treatment program operates out of George Harvey Collegiate Institute.

Palm Beach residents need to know the facts when they vote Tuesday, March 25th on the PUD-5 ordinance to preserve Royal Poinciana Way. The existing zoning, CTS (Commercial Town Serving), on Royal Poinciana Way encourages a strip-mall style of development that would destroy the Main Street character of the street.
Under the new PUD-5 ordinance approved by the Town Council, existing buildings that contribute to the historic and architectural character of Royal Poinciana Way could not be demolished.
New buildings would not be allowed unless they enhance that character.
The current zoning does nothing to preserve the Main Street character and protects only one existing building from demolition.
The emotional argument by a few that PUD-5 would result in a development with too many apartments similar to CityPlace is simply not supported by the facts.
The 33 apartments that exist now could only increase to 39 apartments (49 with underground parking) if property owners develop under the new ordinance. The maximum lot size for a PUD-5 project is only 1.5 acres with 30 percent of the land required for public open space.
The Town Council is offering a unique opportunity to preserve our historic Main Street on Royal Poinciana Way.
Town Councilman Michael Pucillo and Bob Moore, former Town building official, took interested parties on a successful tour of the Royal Poincana Way area to point out the meaning of the ordinance and the differences between CTS zoning and the optional PUD-5 zoning. See the 12 Min Highlight Video Below:
Civic Association Walking Tour [12 min. highlights]
The tour took an hour and a half and great discussion and questions were posed by the public.

It really bugs me to watch how her hair is still there since December 2013 treatments. Its been 2 1/2 months and unless she glues her wig onto her scalp , I do believe she still has her hair and that bugs me. The hair around her ears is attached to her scalp and wigs are not like that. Within a month the hair is falling out at an unbelievable rate that you must buzz it off. Its the most devastating feeling. Interested in seeing if it changes.2
My wig looked so good nobody could tell it was a wig. So many people never knew I had BC. Now that I have curly short post chemo hair people don't recognize me ;) Could be the same for her.1
I started losing mine at day #13 but everyone is different. My hairdresser didn't think I'd lose any more than I did but I elected to have her take the rest off as it was becoming a nuisance. I'm with Sharon even though I haven't seen Amy, TV can do lots of things to make people look good.0
She did cut her hair shorter though.0
My hair didnt start to fall out for 5-6 weeks on Taxol. Dont know what chemo drug she is having right now.0
My wigs were so close to my hair color and even had highlights!0
Hi I was on A/C dense dose then Taxol dense dose, every other week. They said my hair would fall out by day 16. On day 27 I rubbed my head innocently and out it came.
On day 7 at thanksgiving weekend, I had my kids and grandkids cut 16 ponies from my hair and then let them buzz it via #2 length, it was pretty short... kept waiting for it to fall out.
Found few hairs here and there.. but day 27, it all came out when I rubbed my head. Not sure if I could have gone another day if I did not rub it. :)
Also few days before I lost it , it felt like my hair was in a tight pony... too tight...
I was on the same treatment as you and my hair started coming out day 14. Had hairdresser buzz it. I have 2 more doses of taxol left.7 months ago • Flag
I am also on same treatment as above. My hair started following out on day 13. I had it buzzed and I am glad I did as before the second treatment (2 weeks apart) I was completely bald skin head. I do not believe Amy is wearing a wig and I am...
I am also on same treatment as above. My hair started following out on day 13. I had it buzzed and I am glad I did as before the second treatment (2 weeks apart) I was completely bald skin head. I do not believe Amy is wearing a wig and I am curious to know if she was using the ice cap right after chemo that there has been some success with in trials. Not sure, just don't understand . Good luck Joan on your two other treatments. I have 1 more of A/C and then 4 Taxol's then I will be scheduled for surgery and then radiation.
I been following her was thinking the same thing.. She looks amazing.0
I have had 2 rounds of CMF, the same chemo that Amy had, and I still have most of my hair. My oncologist said it would thin out, that I would not lose it all. Shame on whoever suggested that she is lying about having chemo- why would anyone in their right mind lie about that?0
I just don't get it!
After the 8th and last round, she said she lost "1/4 of her hair" so she kept 3/4 of her hair with chemo for Stage 2 that spread to the lymph node???
Right after she cut it short (after 2 rounds) she said the Dr told her any hair she kept would be dry and brittle yet it looks ticker after 6 more rounds than it did at 2 rounds.
Her eyebrows look like makeup, so I think something is up with her hair.0
I read article about Amy her docs told her it would be good for her to go for mental reasons, you just things to be normal. She will do het 3 rd round when she returns home.0
Her Twitter page says she had " 8 rounds of CMF".
Who keeps 3/4 of their hair after that?0
Mine was gone 15 day of first treatment.0
Amy Robach is now finished with her 8 treatments and like the others here are blogging, I, too, am perplexed at how it looks like she still has retained her hair. Like anonymous wrote, the hair above her ears looks real. I guess after finishing only 4 treatments of T/C I am SLOWLY growing back my hair...it's like waiting for a garden to grow!
Cold caps are widely discouraged because doctors are not positive whether or not if the chemo reaches the scalp with them.
Sorry, but I am envious...she makes it look too easy,,,the 99.9% of us do not have this cold cap resource at our treatment facility, nor do our doctors recommend it. .0
My hair feel out like clockwork both times I underwent chemo for primary and recurrence. There are no chemo regimes for node positive breast cancer where hair does not occur. Personally I don't believe she underwent chemo. There are too many inconsistencies between what chemo does to a person and how she looks, especially her hair. I believe she is sending a false message to the world that cancer and treatment isn't really all that bad. The worst part she has shown the world is her boo-hoo haircut.
Her chemo, cmf, does not cause total hair loss, and has fewer side effects, according to patient information sheets. This explains her work schedule and full head if hair. I wish she would be upfront about this, as I am quite sure she choose this little used combo because it would allow her to remain at work, in the public eye. Most people have a harsher experience, and it unmixed that reality.0
I agree that TV can pull off a lot of magic, but I really feel like it's still her own hair. My guess is she is probably using a cold cap. I remember reading about them before starting chemo, but I couldn't afford them, insurance wouldn't pay. I would think she can probably afford it :-) Because regardless of what drugs she is receiving, most every breast cancer treatment (chemotheraphy) causes hair loss, and she definitely should have lost her hair by now. I remember she started treatment in late Nov/early Dec, almost 2 years to the date from when I started my chemo. At first, I was a little frustrated that she wasn't losing her hair. Mine started falling out on day 15 from my first AC treatment. So by February of this year, I was like "why has she not lost her hair?!" But then, I think how terrible of me that I am waiting for another survivor to lose her hair. So now, I say good for her if she has found a way around it, because I know how devastating it is.
I have breast cancer and I also work for Oncologist. I have been trying to find a treatment that will give me a chance to save my hair. My doctors tell me that CMF is not common any more but it is still an approved therapy and the chances of hair loss are reduced.
All drugs have different results. I was AC/taxol and my hair was coming out in my fingers day 11. I had a friend shave my head the day after treatment 2 (and a mahawk)0
I wonder if she's using cold caps, but keeping it quiet (not sure why she would be quiet about it, but you never know). I just had my second treatment of Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin, and Perjeta - and I'm using Penguin Cold Caps - and I still have all of my hair with minimal shedding (my leg, underarm, pubic and facial hair have all stopped growing). I should have lost it all by day 15-20. My profile picture was taken only a few days ago, so you can see what I look like right now. I'm 2+ weeks out from treatment #2 (4 more to go).0
Hey, its the magic of TV and the make-up department. Don't believe everything you see.... smoke and mirrors. My hair started to drop on day 14.0
