23 Company Holiday Party Blunders To Avoid
Escape with your dignity and employment status still intact.
Someone always makes a fool of themselves, don't let that fool be you!
1. Remember to dress appropriately
2. Because THIS is not what they meant by "festive attire."
3. Be careful when drinking with the boss.
See what I did there?
4. Because alcohol is not a reason to tell him how you REALLY feel.
5. Don't get handsy with co-workers.
6. This is not a good time to reveal your drug habits.
7. If you CAN'T dance. Don't dance.
If you CAN dance. By all means go to town.
8. Shirts are not optional!
9. Don't compare beer bellies
10. Watch yourself with the drunk toasts.
11. Find the bathroom. Not the stairwell or nearest potted plant.
12. Don't get caught making out in the storage closet.
It's totally cliche.

Most people that have clutter in their homes have it for no other reason than most of us: we donŌĆÖt know what to do with all of our stuff. Hence, it starts to formulate small piles, or, in extreme cases, inter┬¼vention broadcasted to the world on reality TV (A&EŌĆÖs Hoarders, anyone?).
Colville resident Wendy Cook, 58, is an exception to both rules. Yes, she has a lot of stuff and she collects it on purpose, but unlike an actual hoarder, she can easily let it go if she needs to. Not only that, but she has managed to arrange her various d├®cor in a way that is aesthetically pleasing.
ŌĆ£I love my apartment,ŌĆØ Cook says of her five-room residence above HappyŌĆÖs Hallmark. ŌĆ£I like to make something out of nothing; itŌĆÖs a challenge I enjoy.ŌĆØ
The interior decoration in CookŌĆÖs abode may seem perplexingly gaudy, with itŌĆÖs various hues, but upon closer inspection, it all comes together in an organized chaos that is both engaging and personal. Stars, seashells, crosses, Mardi Gras masks, and small, cloth figurines of Indian elephants adorn the walls, each in their own special place. Belly Dance coin skirts have been turned into table toppers and shelf dressing. Interesting t-shirt designs have been stretched, framed and turned into eye-catching pictures.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve done a lot of different jobs throughout my life,ŌĆØ says Cook. ŌĆ£I was a bartender, a heavy machine operator, writing, injection molding--IŌĆÖve done a little bit of everything and have done decent for myself. The way I decorate reflects what I like. Why should I just settle on one thing?ŌĆØ
If Cook had to describe her style herself, she says she would likely choose ŌĆ£Gypsy/Hippy/ Modern Moroccan/Jesus mixture.ŌĆØ
There might be one too many descriptive words in that explanation for those who categorize things in black or white, but thatŌĆÖs okay with Cook. She makes it work. The way she is able to do so by picking through yard sales, estate sales and second hand stores, shows her knack for creativity on a budget.
If she gets tired of an item, or decides she needs to make room for something else, she takes it to The Loft in Colville, or donates it the local Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store or to Goodwill.
ŌĆ£This is me, this is what I like,ŌĆØ Cook says, smiling and offering a shrug. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an ongoing process. My nephew likes to joke that I should charge people to walk through!ŌĆØ

3 Big Mistakes that Hold Men Back
Men love that Love Systems has a step-by-step approach. It makes Love Systems easy to learn and to fix problems. (This is a side benefit. Love Systems is based on female psychology.

ImaginOn is a "green" facility. It's the first public building in Charlotte to be certified by the US Green Building Council. Many parts of ImaginOn were constructed with recycled materials. Recycled wheat, rubber and plastics were used in different parts of the building. You can even go on an ImaginOn Green Scavenger Hunt to find all the green parts of the building.
The Spangler Library
The Spangler Library, located on the first floor of ImaginOn, has books and activities for kids from birth through 5th grade. With shelves and shelves of picture books and chapter books, kids will love spending hours here just flipping pages while chilling in a comfy chair or propped up on big pillows. And there are often a few toys around like perhaps a train table or a giant teddy bear that the kids will love to get their hands on. There are also numerous computers with plenty of educational activities that will just seem like fun games to your little one. And what a great place for the older students to get a jump on homework or summer reading. The Spangler Library often has events such as Family Storytime, Yoga Storytime and many more. With lots of interesting, creative decor, The Spangler Library is an enjoyable way to spend time with your kids while letting them explore their own story interests.
Click here to check out the Spangler and peruse the calendar of events.
The Teen Loft
The Teen Loft is located at the top of the ramp and it's for teens only. Don't even think about hanging out there if you are not between 12 and 18 years old.

With plenty of novels, comic books, anime, biographies, DVDs, music and more geared just toward teens, they will feel right at home in the Loft.

With all the equipment you'll need right there in the studio, you can shoot a live action or animated movie, edit it yourself and mix the sound for it as well. Or you can record a song, shoot a video to go with it and put it all together in one day using their Blue Screen technology. Or you could even put on your best meteorologist duds and predict tomorrow's weather with the full-size map of the US behind you to make it official. Completed songs and video can be burned to a disc and are available for purchase at ImaginOn or can be uploaded to You Tube. Check their You Tube site to view videos made by teens in Studio i. The possibilities are endless. If you've ever wondered how film or music recording worked, you should check out Studio i.
The Story Jar
If you've been to ImaginOn, you'll definitely notice the enormous 3-story high Story Jar. With colorful, three-dimensional "things" hanging from it's spirals, the Story Jar is intended to spark ideas and juice up imaginations. The computers surrounding the Jar invite kids to create their own stories and draw their own illustrations and play fun, educational games. Or they can watch videos of behind-the-scenes moments with the Children's Theatre of Charlotte. When you and your kids watch live shows on stage, it's inevitable that someone will ask, "How did they do that?" Well, you can watch these videos with your kids to find out costume and scenery secrets. The Story Jar is a compilation of toys, household items, and costumes that will hopefully encourage kids to bring their own stories to life.
Stage Play
Around the Story Jar, on the first floor on ImaginOn you can experience different aspects of theatre. There is a Puppet Theatre with little curtains and a multitude of colorful puppet characters where you can put on full puppet shows for your friends and family. Or you can explore the Mysteries of the Theatre and how the lights come to life. Using hands-on levers and buttons and dials, you can control the lights by making them flash and twinkle and change colors. Or you can put on a play on the Page Stage. Simply dress up in any number of costumes, from knights and princesses to lions and elephants, and act out the characters on the stage. Designed to look like a giant book, the Page Stage has two different pages with different backgrounds. You can choose a royal castle or turn the giant page for a jungle scene. And don't forget to watch yourself on the TV screen as you act out the scenes.

About Jami Young
My husband (Terry) and I (Jami) are native Marylanders. We have been going to Ocean City since we were kids. We have been married for 13 years and immediately started searching for the 'perfect' Ocean City Condo. We searched for 6 years until we fell in love with the Belmont Towers so much so, we bought a 2nd Belmont Towers condo in 2009. We had always stayed up at the North end of Ocean City until we bought in the Belmont Towers, now I would never stay anywhere other than right on the Boardwalk. The condo is very convenient to all the wonderful things Ocean City has to offer. This is a prefect location for our kids, 21 and 10. We hope you have the same experience and will want to keep coming back. Enjoy, Terry and Jami
Jami Young purchased this condo in 2008
Guestbook comments from the owner
Wonderful stay. The weather was a little rainy, but we still enjoyed our time here. We look forward to coming back in May and staying in your other condo, #804. Thanks for your attention to details!

LOS ANGELES – Lightning struck 13 people at a popular beach in Los Angeles and another man golfing on Catalina Island, killing one person and leaving two critically injured on Sunday, authorities said.
Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Larry Dietz said a 20-year-old man was taken from the beach and pronounced dead at a hospital. Dietz said he could not confirm whether the man was a swimmer who was pulled from the water and given CPR.
A 15-year-old was among those hit by lightning at Venice Beach about 2:30 p.m., city fire spokeswoman Katherine Main said. Four people were treated at the scene and the rest were taken to hospitals, where one was listed in grave condition and another in critical condition, she said.
Stuart Acher said he was struck while playing volleyball on the beach.
We went about our game and then all of a sudden, there was a big flash of light and a boom, and it felt like someone punched me in the back of my head, he told KABC-TV. It went down my whole side of my right body, and my calves sort of locked up, and I fell over. And I looked up and everybody else was, you know, falling over.
Paramedics examined Acher, but he felt fine and went back to playing volleyball.
On Santa Catalina Island, often called Catalina Island, off the coast, a 57-year-old man was struck by lightning on a golf course and was hospitalized in stable condition, said Steve Denning, a law enforcement technician with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

How To Paint Your Cabinets (aka: Hallelujah!)
It's finally here. The day that we get to wake up and pad into a kitchen that used to look like this…
And see this…
So here's how we did it from soup to nuts. Wait, first let me gush a little more. Seriously, it doesn't even feel like the same room. Scroll back up and picture yourself standing next to the fridge in the "before" shot. The cabinets felt about two feet away from you on all sides. I can't explain it, but it was like the room didn't respect my personal space and was always inching towards me. It was all up in my area. Now when I stand at the sink or pantry, I literally feel like I could perform a small musical number (with a minimum of six Glee backup dancers). It just feels so much roomier. Plus no weird cabinet knob-eyes are looking over my shoulder anymore. Bonus.
But let's get back to the present. Ahh, much better.
Our big cabinet-painting victory hardly happened overnight. We've been slowly working up to this sucker for a while now. First we painted the paneling, the fireplace, and the beams. Then we rearranged our cabinets a bit, got new appliances and, oh yeah, got a big beautiful hole busted in the wall. Then some cabinets came in, others came down, and eventually new counters made their way to us. Finally, the painting project was upon us. So first came the primer…
… and, at long last, the paint. Speaking of the paint, we used Benjamin Moore's Advance paint in Cloud Cover in a satin finish (it's a soft tonal taupey-gray color, so it's not quite as bright as our glacier white counters for a subtle layered look). Benjamin Moore Advance paint actually came recommended by a few pro cabinet painters that we know. We went with the satin finish because it's specially formulated for cabinets (they actually came out with satin first and only added semi-gloss later to help folks who wanted more shine). We used it on our office cabinets a few months back (which still look great after Clara has beat on them relentlessly with wooden fruit) so it's safe to say that we've been extremely happy with it. The fact that it's low-VOC, self-leveling, and amazingly durable is pretty much the best thing ever.
Since a bunch of you have asked, here's a rough timeline of the cabinet painting process (we just worked on nights after Clara went to bed and weekends during her naps, so it's a good indication of what anyone with a day job might be able to follow):
- Day 1: We removed the cabinet doors (including drawerfronts) and hardware (including hinges), applied wood filler to cracks and hardware holes, let everything dry for a few hours, lightly sanded the putty spots by hand, and refilled them with a second layer of wood filler wherever necessary. We did the same to the cabinet frames. Our wood filler of choice was Elmer's ProBond Professional Strength Wood Filler.
- Day 2: With the wood filler completely dry, we used a palm sander to smooth any putty spots and rough up all cabinet doors in the sealed off sunroom (it's a dusty job). We then emptied out all the kitchen cabinets and covered appliances with drop cloths so we could also use the sander on our cabinet frames (roughing everything up = better adhesion). After everything was sanded, we wiped it down with a liquid deglosser (we like Next from Home Depot because it's low-VOC and biodegradable). Read a lot more on the puttying, sanding, and deglossing steps of this process here (there are lots of pics too!).
- Day 3: Cabinet door backs and cabinet frames were primed (we love Zinsser Smart Prime which is high-quality, stain-blocking, and low-VOC – the primer trifecta). We applied it with a high quality 2″ angled brush to get into all the cracks and a small foam roller to smooth everything out and ensure that we were applying super thin and even coats (there's a video of the application process a bit further down in this post)
- Day 4: We flipped the cabinet doors over and primed the fronts, leaving them to dry another 24 hours, just like the backs. Read more about the priming steps of this process here (there are extra pics too!).
- Day 5: With the primer all done and dry (be sure to read the can – ours said not to over-prime, so one coat did the trick), during Clara's nap we flipped the cabinet doors over again and painted one coat of paint on the backs (we used Benjamin Moore's Advance paint in Cloud Cover). We applied it with a high quality 2″ angled brush to get into all the cracks and a small foam roller to smooth everything out and ensure that we were applying super thin and even coats (there's a video of the application process a bit further down in this post). Clara woke up before we could paint the frames, so after she went to bed that night we put a first coat on the cabinet frames.
- Day 6: We applied a second coat of paint on the back of the cabinet doors and the frames after Clara went to bed. As for applying any sealer or topcoat, the general pro recommendation for cabinet painting is to use high quality stain blocking primer and 2-3 thin and even coats of super high quality paint with ample drying time between coats (Benjamin Moore's Advance paint is meant for cabinets without any top coat, since sealers can drip, yellow, and even cause things to stick/crack since they thicken the application).
- Day 7: We gave the doors a full day to dry before flipping them over and applying a first coat to the fronts (the reason we did the backs first was that just in case the backs got marked up while we painted the front, at least the front would remain pristine). The day of drying time did the trick though, so the backs look as good as the fronts.
- Days 8 & 9: We applied the first and second coat of paint to the front of the doors over these two days. Read a lot more on the puttying, sanding, and deglossing steps of this process here (there are lots of pics too!).
- Days 10 – 13: We let the doors dry and cure for the recommended time on the can (always read the can!).
- Day 14: We drilled for and installed the hardware on all of the doors (more on that in a sec). We also hung the doors but ran out of time before getting to the drawer fronts.
- Day 15: We installed hardware on the drawer fronts, put the drawers back in, and restocked the kitchen. A droopy but spirited happy dance also ensued.
All that info above (and those three bolded links to the previous posts on puttying/sanding/deglossing, priming, & painting) should be enough to get you going on any cabinet-painting project – but just because I always think a video is worth a thousand pics, here's a quick one that runs through the process for you. Although at some points I'm so delirious that I make up words (putty brush?) and refer to primer as paint about a dozen times. But it definitely can be helpful to see exactly how to putty a hardware hole or how to prime and paint a cabinet door. Enjoy!
As for the hardware installation details that we promised in our timeline above, we bought these handy Liberty Hardware guides at Home Depot for $7 to help us place everything evenly (centered side to side, and consistently at the same height so all the doors match up). Let's call it the best seven beans we've ever spent (it's incredibly nerve-wracking to drill through your freshly painted cabinet doors, to say the least – so any tool to make it more of a science is a friend of mine). My only tip is to double check everything ten times before drilling. And see those white blobs on the template on the left? Those are small pieces of masking tape that we used to surround "the good holes" (the ones we were using) so we didn't accidentally drill into the one to the left or the right.
We also realized that using a small piece of scrap wood would shift all of the handles a smidge closer to the edge of the door, which we realized we liked best (after holding the handle in various places on the template). So we used this scrap wood piece…
… for marking each door with a pencil…
Then John drilled a small pilot hole first (to make sure he was going straight into our marked dot and ensure the wood wouldn't crack or splinter). Then we went back through with a larger drill bit that would allow the screw that was provided with our hardware to slide right on through.
By some miracle, everything ended up looking nice and even. Whew. You know how sometimes when you reuse something (ex: our oak cabinets from the early 80's) you think it'll somehow be wonky or look cheap after something like a paint job? I'm happy to report that they look so solid and amazing. We had completely new cabinets in our first house's kitchen (to the tune of 7K – ouch!) and we're just as happy with these. I guess sometimes solid oak from 30 years ago is just as good as solid oak from today. Haha.
Oh and our new hardware is from here for $3.24 per handle. We love the way the satin nickel looks with our stainless appliances (and we think the soft gray backsplash will only add to the fun. We got all the same hardware for every door and drawer, but just placed them horizontally on drawers and vertically on doors. Speaking of money, here's our entire budget breakdown:
- Wood filler (Elmer's ProBond Professional Strength Wood Filler from Home Depot): $7
- Primer (we used Zinsser's Smart Prime from a local Benjamin Moore store: $22
- Benjamin Moore's Advance paint (in Cloud Cover in a satin finish): $40 (thanks to a coupon)
- All new hardware (see that link above): $84
- All new hinges (from a local hardware store here called Pleasant's): $89
- Hardware templates (by Liberty Hardware from Home Depot): $7
- Total cabinet makeover total: $249
Not bad when you compare that to the 7K total of the new white cabs that we selected for our first house's much smaller kitchen. Le yikes. And we love that we added an entire peninsula with secondhand cabinets for under $95 (one of them was even free) – which is definitely one of those DIY coups that makes ya proud. All that storage and extra workspace is already coming in handy.
Anyway, to get back the whole putting-the-room-back-together thing, after we added the hardware, we just needed to reattach the hinges…
… and enjoy the view (don't mind the clashy dishwasher- we'll install our stainless one after we lay the cork floors so they'll run underneath it).
I've totally been doing that thing where you spend way more time in a room than necessary, just staring at things. I keep gravitating towards the kitchen (ex: Clara, let's go read this book on the floor next to the refrigerator!).
Oh and here's a shot of how things look with the natural oak color inside the cabinets while the doors and fronts are painted. We don't mind the two tone look at all, and this way we can toss things in there and pull them out without worrying about scratching or peeling paint (we did the same thing in our first kitchen and in our office built-in cabinets, and they really hold up nicely). Our tip would be to just keep a nice clean line around the frames when you prime/paint them (using a small foam roller sort of does that for you). That way it looks intentionally two-toned and not crazy-sloppy when you open the door. And yes, that is a slide out cutting board. Our cabinets may be old, but they still have their tricks. Haha.
For those who can't watch the video above to see my shot of the painted cabinets up close, the picture below might shed a little light on the whole oak-grain thing. Using high quality primer and good self-leveling paint helps hide a lot although it doesn't guarantee 100% invisible grain (we don't see any evidence of grain on the oak cabinets in the office but do see a hint of it on the kitchen cabinets, so it probably just depends how much grain your cabinets have to begin with). We don't mind painted wood that looks like painted wood though, so a little grain is ok with us, as long as the paint is nice and even and glossy.
Words can't express how much additional function/workspace our little peninsula added to the kitchen. It's amazing to think that none of these cabinets were here before our makeover! And the fact that we gained a 3 x 5′ counter on that peninsula already makes eating/baking/spreading out and doing crafts there a regular occurrence.
We mentioned in this post that two of the retrofitted cabinets were 100% seamless, and it's these babies in the corner. We don't think Sherlock Holmes himself could tell, even with his nose an inch away from them. Hurrah!
As I mentioned here, the three other retrofitted doors are tad less than perfect. By this I mean if you look at them from an inch away for five minutes (bobbing your head back and forth to catch the light bouncing off of them) two out of ten people might notice a tiny seam. The cabinet hanging above the cereal jars in the photo below is one of them. See how it's almost impossible to pick up from far away…
But when you get super close and the light hits it just the right way you might be able to catch a super subtle horizontal line? In person it's so unnoticeable that we can't decide if it's worth doing anything about, but we'll keep you posted if we decide to sand them one more time and use some sort of buildable primer and a few more coats of paint to hopefully make them as perfect as the two corner cabinet doors are.
I don't know why I love this shot but I do. John's totally my hero for figuring out how to build in the fridge like that. Mah man.
Oh my gosh, can you even believe that room looked like this last December when we moved in? In case you can't tell, it's hard for me to wrap my brain around that.
The doorway to the dining room definitely helps bring the light in – and the glossier cabinets and bright white counters definitely brighten things up too.
Here's the other side of Dark City:
And the same view now that I'm the Mayor of BrightVille!
Of course there's still tons to do, like…
- hang our backsplash tile
- add floating shelves & a range hood
- redo all the lighting (two pendant lights over the peninsula + inset lights in the cooking area)
- install our mocha cork floors (can't wait to balance out the brightness with some rich contrast!)
- install the new dishwasher
- add quarter-round and crown molding
- possibly tweak our stools (we're waiting for the room to take shape a bit more)
…but it's definitely progress. Hooray, progress. So who's about to embark on a cabinet painting adventure of their very own? I hope this post full of details (and especially that little video we whipped up) come in handy! Have fun and don't forget to make up words (might I recommend putty brush?).
PS: We're over on BabyCenter sharing a tearful little announcement. More on that here.

Love all three of your kitchen redos~ so fresh and fun!! My daughter and I will be painting her cabinets before she puts her house on the market. Our dilemma- with white appliances (not replacing) should cabinet color be a neutral or white that won't fight with appliances?? Can't wait until your 'bun' is done!! Good luck!!
We actually just finished a complete kitchen renovation and we able to salvage the original cabinetry by cleaning them up and painting them. The end result came out even better then we had anticipated!! Here's our before and after photos! http://thetinyprofessional.blogspot.com/2014/02/kitchen-before-after.html
The Tiny Professional
Sherry and John,
My kitchen cabinets are already white, but they were spray painted white – not painted with regular white paint. Should I still sand and degloss? Also, should I use spray paint (like the cabinet makers did before), or use regular paint like you did? Thanks so much!
Molly :)
I can't believe there's almost 1000 comments on this! Yowza! Okay, here's my question…how/where did you get a coupon for BM advance paint? :) I'm "this close" to convincing my hubby to paint our maple kitchen cabinets white. (wish me luck on the convincing part–ha!) I plan on using BM Advance paint and the same primer you used (zinsser smart prime) The only thing is that our appliances are white, so I'm not sure which color paint to go with. I want something that will match the appliances. I was thinking "simply white" but I'm not sure. Also, have you heard anything (good or bad) about using Krud Kutter to clean grease off the cabs before priming? Any advice you can offer is very much appreciated! Oh, and sorry about writing you a book here. :)
Great job, looks so fresh.
I was wondering what you did to the countertops, did you change them?
I hate to ask if you've already addressed this but 13 pages of comments is way too many to go through! :-) What do you feel about bonding primer to be able to skip sanding? I have kind of glossy, fake looking, wood cabinets that I'd really love to take from honey blond to gorgeous white. Feeling nervous. I've never done a project like this. Thanks for any wisdom you can pass along!! :-)
This is such a great tutorial! I do have one question-do you have any experience painting thermofoil cabinets? We are looking for a solution to our peeling, cracking gross cabinets (without buying new ones) and I've done some research on peeling off the thermofoil and painting. Ever done that? Any tips on it? Thanks!!! And hope Sherry is feeling well!
My husband and I are moving in to my grandfather's 1980's ranch home. Brick, paneled walls, oak cabinets. The whole shebang. He has kept bisque appliances all these years and we just cant afford to replace them. We have black granite countertops and those oak cabinets. I wanted to paint them, but I have no idea what to do since we've got the bisque appliances. Ideas? We kept our wall color pretty neutral. Bermuda sand by valspar–a very light creamy yellow. I currently have avocado, teal, and mustard colors going on in the towels and kitchen curtains. I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks! We thought about appliance paint, but I'm worried about the heat factor on our in-wall oven unit and the stove top. I think we'll try the cream; maybe continue the wheat color we painted the paneling with. It's a start. :-)
Hello, what is the green paint colour in the 'after' kitchen picture??? Thanks:)
LOVED the tutorial ~ Your cabinets look AMAZING! Thanks for the inspiration & the tips.
Thank you so much for sharing the specifics of how you painted your cabinets! I painted mine several years ago but didn't really know what I was doing. I just redid them using your tutorial and it was SO much easier! Your video was especially helpful. Thank you! :-)
I found your "Painting kitchen cabinets" on pinterest..love the remodel…Thanks for the help.
Love this post! We modeled our cabinet project off of yours–thank you!
We also used Benjamin Moore Advance and I'm wondering how it's holding up for you over time? Are you using any specific products to clean the cabinets? I'm wary of scrubbing too hard when the occasional foodstuff flings itself onto a cabinet…
Thanks so much!
I apologize if this has already been answered, but…no poly? No sealer at all? Ben Moore's Advance must be one amaze balls paint! I know you guys have moved out of this house since, but I'm curious to know how those held up.
I'm using your tutorial to redo my kitchen cabinets. I NEED to find the cabinet hinges you used in this post. Is there ANYWAY you can send me a link to the exact ones you bought? I attached the hardware's website below. Please help, finding ones that work (we have the same cabinet frames you did) is driving me crazy!!
Wow! The kitchen looks so much bigger! You guys have inspired me to repaint my kitchen as well :) I don't think I'll be ripping out any cabinets though!
Man, I love before and after pictures.
HOKAY. I just hauled all the supplies home to start on my cabinets TOMORROW. I've been looking at your time/day by day breakdown, and mine will be roughly the same, give or take a few things. (I don't need to patch any old hardware holes! Hooray!!)
I did have a question on curing. I don't have a nice sunroom to work in like you guys did in your last house, so I'll be painting all the doors and drawer fronts in the garage. While it is an insulated garage, I'll definitely need the door open for some light & ventilation, and it's turning into a typical July here in North Carolina, so you know where I'm going with this. Should I allow more than the 3 days of cure time to fight the heat & humidity in my garage, or should I forget that entirely and bring them inside to cure after they're dry to the touch? And do you think I should wait longer than a day between coats of primer and paint? It's the one thing I'm stressing over.
I'm looking to paint my 80's oak cabinets as well. I'm wondering about the prep order. Some tutorials I read recommended deglossing before sanding but I noticed that you sanded before deglossing. Which is better?
Also have you heard of brushing putty to eliminate wood grain? It is said to give the painted cabinets an almost glass-like finish. Do you think it is necessary?

It's been several months since we last discussed the topic of an all wheel drive M5. The last update we posted was news from Autocar claiming that an AWD version of the M5 had been approved.
Speaking at the new M5′s press launch in Spain, the F10 M5′s project leader, Max Ahme, touched on this subject. Although he did not confirm the approval of a AWD M5 already, he did let on about its very real possibility.
As M cars' power figures continue to climb generation after generation … CONTINUED
Here is the first sighting of a production F10 M5 in Singapore Gray, looking great with a Sakhir Orange interior. Despite all the different colors of F10 M5 prototypes we spied, this is the first look ever at the 2012 M5 in Singapore Grey. Singapore Gray is among the standard factory F10 M5 colors, the full list which are listed below.
Alpine White
Black Sapphire Metallic
Imperial Blue
Here's a preview of an upcoming Top Gear magazine feature where James May with the help of The Stig thrashes the F10 M5 thoroughly, while comparing it to its top competition – the E63 AMG sedan. Check out some preview words and some Stig driving footage inside.
Autocar is the first to come in with a direct head to head comparison of the F10 M5 against its competitors, in this case the E63 AMG and the Jaguar XF-R. They make their pick, although for very specific reasons which may not matter to those looking to make a decision for a daily driver. See the review inside.
The rumored F11 M5 is previewed by rendering artist Theopilus Chin.
The first drive acclaims for the 2012 M5 continue as Motor Trend posts their first take on the F10 M5. Calling it improved with age, like a bottle of fine wine, Motor Trend believes that the F10 M5 is better than the E60 M5 in every way. How's that? See some excerpts inside.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris' video review of the BMW F10 M5 has now been posted, following his initial print review.
After his initial drive, Harris called the 2012 BMW M5 "mostly awe-inspiring" and said that there is no other powertrain like this in a series production car. He called the F10 M5′s performance outrageous and gave it a full 5 star rating.
In this video, Harris posts and addresses the following main questions:
- Has it got any range (fuel)?
- Has it got torque?
- Can you not … CONTINUED
Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe reviews the 2012 BMW F10 M5 on video, giving us some excellent visual and audio of the F10 M5 experience. He's overall impressed and sums up by calling the new M5 still a proper lunatic's car. We like that!
Autoblog posts their review of the F10 M5 with a lofty summary – that it sets the holy standard for mixing performance with luxury. How does it do so? Read on.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris takes a first drive crack at the production F10 M5 and comes away impressed, as all the others have. He calls it a compelling package which takes the usable hyper sedan to new levels of all-around ability.
Top Gear's online magazine doesn't mince words in its verdict of the 2012 BMW M5, beginning their review by calling the F10 M5 chuffing excellent. So what made it chuffing excellent for Top Gear's reviewer? Take a look inside.
Automobile, who brought us their very entertaining 1M coupe review, now comes in with their F10 M5 review.

Slovaks to vote for local deputies on November 15
8 Jul 2014 Flash News
THE LAST in the series of elections taking place this year in Slovakia, the elections of mayors and deputies in municipal councils, will be held on November 15
Pavol Paška announced the date of the municipal elections on July 7.
According to the law, the parliamentary chairman should announce the date of the vote at least 90 days in advance. Political parties are subsequently invited to submit their slates. This must be done by 55 days prior to election day. Also invited to run are non-partisan candidates under the condition that they present a petition signed by a minimum number of people, which varies according to the size of the given municipality.
In order to be elected as a mayor or councillor, the candidates need to garner most of the vote.
Voters are obliged to go to the polls in the municipalities in which they are registered as permanent residents.
Some of the candidates have objected to the decision to schedule the municipal elections to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, November 17, which is also a national holiday in Slovakia.
Failed presidential candidate Milan Kňažko, who is now running for the mayoral post in the capital, criticised the chosen date in an interview with the Sme daily. He rejected the idea that his frequent appearances in the media prior to the November 17 anniversary, due to his involvement in the Velvet Revolution, would put him at an advantage.

Looking for Soup to fit with Barbeque
I'm having trouble coming up with a soup for our family barbeque. we always smoke some pork loins and slow cook ribs. i usually make a chili but i would like to do something different this time something that would somewhat fit with our meats maybe like a southwest kinda soup. I don't care for beans so would prefer non-bean soup.
Chicken tortilla soup sounds like it might work. Very flexible dish and not too heavy. If you let people do their own condiment add-ins like avocado, radishes, etc they may also enjoy them just to munch along with the lovely porky stuff.
re: roxhills
I've smoked corn lightly before using it in a corn chowder. Worked really well
re: foodie06
I'm going to third the corn chowder recommendation.
Taco Soup
2 pounds ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
1 envelope dry taco seasoning mix
1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can whole kernel corn with liquid
1 can (28oz) stewed tomatoes with liquid
1-1/2 cup tomato, V8 or Bloody Mary mix
Brown chopped onions and remove. Brown ground beef and mix in the onion. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until so favors meld and ready to serve.
Serve with tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream or avocado slices.
From: Cooks Forum
This soup is really delicious and has flavors I think would go well with barbeque, without being redundant with what you're already cooking. I can't remember why I have it rationed for 15 people, but I'm sure you could easily alter it for however many you are.
Potato Soup with Roasted Garlic and Red Peppers for 15
4 whole heads garlic
2 TB canola oil
1 large white onion, finely chopped
15 medium potatoes, well washed and diced – the recipe originally requested Yukon gold. so that's what it means by "medium." if using baking potatoes or new potatoes, make adjustments accordingly.
2 peeled, diced apples
1 cup dry white wine
8 thinly sliced scallions
14 oz jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained and cut into ½ inch squares
1+ cup sour cream
1 cup low-fat milk
salt and pepper to taste
1- preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2- place the whole heads of garlic on a baking sheet and bake 40 minutes
3- heat oil in a soup pot, add onion
4- when browned, add potatoes, apple and wine, and just enough water to cover
5- simmer gently, 40 minutes
6- add garlic pulps (squeeze in, discard skins)
7- mash potatoes a little to achieve right texture
8- add scallions, red bell peppers, sour cream, milk and salt and pepper
9- stir well and LET SIT ONE HOUR
serving ideas: serve with fresh bread, sprinklings of cheese, sour cream, chives…or barbeque :)
re: Adrienne
I was thinking some kind of potato soup as well...
re: jeanmarieok
I would change up the concept of slow-cooked greens, like collards and kale, and turn them into a soup like callaloo.
Emeril's Portuguese kale soup - incorporates the greens like a substitute for collards, has spice and a fine kick. the potatoes and chorizo don't hurt either.

Jay Ratliff ruled out for opener
Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff will not play in Wednesday's season opener against the New York Giants.
More on the Cowboys
Tim MacMahon, Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Top 50 Cowboys
Ratliff, a four-time Pro Bowler, officially was ruled out while tight end Jason Witten was listed as doubtful Tuesday.
Ratliff has not practiced since suffering a high ankle sprain in an Aug. 25 preseason game against the St. Louis Rams.
Witten underwent a CT scan Tuesday on his lacerated spleen, but the results were not immediately available. If the spleen is completely healed, the seven-time Pro Bowler could be cleared to play against the Giants. Team doctors also could elect to sideline Witten until Week 2 against Seattle. Witten was a limited participant in practice this week but has not been cleared for contact.
Safety Danny McCray, the Cowboys' best special-teams player, also is doubtful because of a neck injury.
Cornerback Mike Jenkins, who missed all of the offseason workouts, training camp and the preseason while rehabilitating from shoulder surgery, is listed as questionable. Jenkins was a limited participant in the Cowboys' last two practices.
Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (foot) is listed as questionable, but he has said he expects to start and play his normal amount of snaps.
The defending Super Bowl champion Giants will be without cornerback Prince Amukamara (ankle), defensive tackle Marvin Austin (back) and tackle James Brewer (back).
Left tackle Will Beatty (back) is listed as questionable, but Sean Locklear is expected to start at left tackle, which means he'll be matched up against All-Pro outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware.
Other Giants listed as questionable are linebacker Michael Boley (hamstring), rookie cornerback Jayron Hosley (toe), linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka (groin), running back Da'Rel Scott (knee) and defensive end Adrian Tracy (hamstring).
