53 Sensationally rustic kitchens in mountain homes
Creating a rustic kitchen in a mountain home creates a comfort and coziness that seems to warm up the brisk air from the surrounding outdoor environment. Worn, distressed, and rough-hewn, are not typically the first words that come to mind when we think of kitchens today. While crisp white cabinets, polished nickel hardware and beautiful marble countertops are on trend, a rustic kitchen will always provide the comfort of a piping hot bowl of chili and curling up with a hot chocolate on a cold night. More words that describe the look are well worn, patina, antiqued, homey and reclaimed. We have gathered together a cozy selection of rustic kitchens that will bring warmth and style to any mountain retreat. If you are looking for further inspiration for rustic style, have a look at some of our past articles on, 47 Extremely cozy and rustic cabin style living rooms and 51 Insanely beautiful rustic barn bathrooms.
Rustic retreat with an industrial edge in Big Sky
At one end of the great room in a Tennessee mountain home, the open kitchen is outfitted for a master chef. The pair of French still lifes are 18th century. The oak rack is 19th-century English.

Consider reclaimed wood for your countertops. A couple of coats of polyurethane will keep wood countertops protected from spills and rotting. If you're renovating an older home, look in the attic for beautiful old floorboards to use for countertops.
Light a fire. The number-one cozy element in a kitchen is a toasty hearth. While adding a full fireplace is a big intervention, today's woodstoves and fireboxes don't require a major renovation.

Choose elements that show their age. Rough-hewn timber beams and a slate floor give this kitchen a rustic look from top to bottom. In between, cabinetmakers repurposed the green cabinets from an antique hutch.
A Saint Moritz, Switzerland, kitchen's table and chair are from Switzerland's Engadine Valley; the backsplash tiles are 17th-century Portuguese.
You (almost) cannot have too much wood. You can use wood from floor to cabinets to ceiling, just be sure to break it up a little with countertops and a backsplash of a different material.
Add a cozy spot for gathering and eating meals. Dining in the kitchen is one of the coziest things you can do, no matter what your kitchen's style. It doesn't matter if it's a small table, a large island or a built-in breakfast nook.

47 Absolutely brilliant subway tile kitchen ideas
When it comes to a beautiful classic backsplash, nothing beats decorating with a traditional subway tile, a staple for any kitchen design. Subway tiles can make cleaning up kitchen messes an effortless task, plus there is a such a wide variety to select from, turning an ordinary kitchen and into an extraordinary kitchen. One thing is definitely for certain, subway tile will always stay on trend.
As you may already know, subway tiles have derived their names from the ceramic tiles utilized on the walls of the New York City metro stations in the early twentieth century. For a clean and welcoming appearance, applying one color to your tile backsplash or countertops will do the trick. Tiles can be set vertically, horizontally or even in a chevron pattern to add interest. An extensive assortment of designs are accessible on the market, however it is imperative not to be rushed, as selecting the right shade and texture has an enormous effect in designing a harmonious space. If you are seeking to add a classic touch to your kitchen, we have plenty of ideas for you below!
If you are looking for some additional kitchen design inspiration, you might want to read some of our past articles before starting a decorating project. A while back, we featured these striking industrial style kitchens, a gallery of Scandinavian kitchens, a lineup of 48 space-saving small kitchen islands and we also gave a detailed article on cement tile backsplashes, plenty of ideas for decorating your kitchen!
Reclaimed materials run throughout this Northumberland farmhouse belonging to Paul Priestman. The kitchen sink, for instance, is made from a stone trough.
Proper Proportions
Oversize subway tile is installed in a brick pattern above the lower cabinetry. The size of the tile is similar to the size of the bricks used in the kitchen floor. Dark grout between the subway tiles adds dimension and a feeling of age.
Contemporary Shelves
Simple wooden shelves lend a rustic touch to this modern kitchen corner. Thin metal wires suspend the shelves from the ceiling so they appear to be floating. The shelves' rough, unfinished surface adds another layer of texture to the kitchen's tiled walls, stainless-steel appliances, and stone countertops.
Herringbone Pattern
Gray porcelain subway tiles create drama against pure white cabinetry. Behind the range, a herringbone-pattern inset on the backsplash breaks up the backsplash and adds another focal point to the wall.
Optical Illusion
If you have a small kitchen, consider incorporating shimmering tiles to open the space up. Just like a mirror, the brilliant sheen of these blue subway tiles reflects light and makes the space feel more open. Frosted-glass-front upper cabinets also help to keep the space from feeling too confined and provide display space to show off pretty dishware.
Tile Emphasis
In this kitchen, oversize subway tile with charcoal gray grout emphasizes staggered installation and gives a greater presence to the tilework. The tiles have a certain vintage feel that is juxtaposed by commercial-grade stainless-steel appliances.
Coordinated Countertops
Barely-there gray subway tiles complement the colors in the granite countertop. The off-white cabinetry leaves the space feeling a little bit warmer compared to a stark, white paint job.
Classic and Clean
White subway tile in a cottage-style kitchen looks classic and clean. The white cabinets and mint-color beaded board on the walls combine perfectly with the white backsplash.

Your new apartment: A minimalist design
You like to keep things simple, especially when it comes to your home decor. Aside from the attractive modern aesthetic, creating a minimalist design in your new place can be beneficial to your sense of well-being: namely stress relief. Minimalist homes also tend to be more charming and inviting – they appear more spacious, and tend to focus on the innate beauty of a single piece of furniture or work of art. It's not bare; it's artistically restrained.
And, as a plus, they are much easier to clean. Think about how easy it is to clean a home without having to maneuver around so many unnecessary objects or pieces of furniture. So how do you create a minimalist style in your new home?
Maybe you've moved with a ton of stuff. Well, if you're unsure of what to keep and get rid of, here are some things that can go: excess magazines and newspapers; unnecessary furniture; unused glassware, hardware, kitchen gadgets, pots and pans; clunky pillows, candle holders, magnets and vases; tired artwork, office supplies, seasonal decorations, sports memorabilia and old mirrors. For a successful modern minimalist design, these items are not necessary. They can be thrown away or donated (after all, there must be someone in your life who can use those old pots and pans).
As you de-clutter your space, you are naturally going to want to keep some items. These should be organized and stored away in a very specific place, which is another perk of the minimalist home: succinct organization.
The mantra here is "A place for everything, and everything in its place." That means, with some exceptions, showing only the bare essentials. Whether it's the bedroom, kitchen or living room, you want to keep things off of the floor and out of sight.
Keep it Simple, Start Small
Focus on one room at a time. For example, start with the bedroom, move to the living room, and so on. If you live in a loft or studio, it's easy to get going because there's only one room to worry about. Though a single room offers new sets of challenges, lofts or studios can benefit greatly from a minimalist design's dedication to openness.
Pay great attention to the furniture choices, as this is what takes up the most space. Keep in mind, when it comes to sofas and couches, sharp lines, narrow construction and smooth curves are a minimalist staple. One way to keep minimalism consistent throughout an apartment is to find a bunch of pieces you like, come up with a plan or theme, think it through and then start to eliminate any unnecessary furniture from those you've picked – without sacrificing comfort, of course.
Flat surfaces, like countertops and coffee tables, should be sparse and clean, aside from maybe a few appliances or art books, respectively. Remember you want to keep only the essentials. You can always add decorative accents later.
Start Furnishing
You only want to keep a few pieces of simple furniture in the room, such as a couch, a comfortable chair or two, and a coffee table. What's more, all of these items should be solid colors – make the hues stark whites and bold blacks for a more dramatic effect.
There should not be a lot of artwork on display – just one or two pieces at most. These works should be very simple as well, with a solid colored frame. For instance, simplistic cubist paintings and designs complement minimalism extraordinarily well. On the other hand, you can certainly keep some walls bare.
As far as window treatments go, windows can be kept bare, or treated with solid color curtains or wooden blinds. Similarly, while natural light provides a minimalist space with subtle accents, the right indoor lighting fixtures – whether strategically placed wall mounts or hanging options – from sites like We Got Lites are integral to a seamless interior design.
Decorations should be kept to a minimum as well, but feel free to add a splash of color with a standing potted plant. The natural greens will liven up the room a bit and contrast nicely with the whites, beiges and tans. Keep in mind, the rest of the room should be filled with solid, neutral colors like these.
On the surface, minimalism seems easy, but if a home is too bare, that's just as noticeable. With these tips in tow, your new apartment will astonish, welcome and relax everyone who walks in.

Classic & Contemporary
A careful mix of textures, finishes, and colors allowed these homeowners to find a stunning yet comfortable balance for their classic farmhouse kitchen. Although the original space looked dark and dreary, the footprint blended well with the homeowners' vision for the kitchen. In the end, they were able to create a clean-lined space featuring modern amenities that still pays homage to the home's rich history.
Center of Attention
This kitchen's 10-foot-long island is the home's most popular spot for cooking, conversing, eating, and more. Plus, after the meal is prepared, the island can be converted into a serving buffet that's perfectly suited for a busy family. Nearby, an angled section of cabinetry offers more prep space and houses a pair of convenient refrigerator drawers that allow access without getting in the cook's way.
Key elements: The light fixtures have a Parisian flea market look, and French café stools lend industrial style. Subway tile with gray grout is another vintage classic that blends the vent hood into the wall. Traditional hardware and wood trim finish off the look.
Extended Seating
A table extension off the island differentiates prep space (the island) and dining space (the table) for separate experiences in the same room.

Home renovation rewind: Avoid 6 common pitfalls
Many homeowners take a positive view about home renovation and believe that they can improve the look and value of their property by tackling some projects themselves or getting a contractor in to get the job done.
Unfortunately, a number of these same homeowners who have already gone ahead with their renovation work, would like to rewind the clock and start again or do things differently, if they knew then what they know now.
Try to be a savvy homeowner and avoid these common pitfalls, leaving you with an improved property and no problems to address.
You may need to lodge a development application with your local council for the proposed work, depending on the type and scale of your intended project.
If you are planning on making any significant or structural changes to your property, don't take the risk of falling foul of the law. Failure to submit the necessary paperwork before you start your renovations could be a costly mistake.
It is possible that even relatively minor repairs and renovations like painting the exterior of your home or replacing some or all of your roofing, may require a council permit. Your local council can give you the advice you need on any regulations and requirements that you need to adhere to, so always give them a call and check the situation before you attempt to do any work.
Owner and builder
If you are one of the many homeowners who choose to take on the role of owner-builder, you should be aware that there are obligations that you still have to comply with.
An owner-builder may choose to either do all the renovation work themselves or employ the assistance of sub-contractors to help them with the tasks that they do not have the skills for themselves.
Owner-builders need to be aware that they are subject to their own unique set of legal obligations and rights, depending on the territory that you live in. If you are providing or using your own tools on site and either working by yourself or with others, you will need domestic building insurance and an owner-builder certificate of consent. Make sure your tools are to the right standards and will last a lifetime, check out Hi-Speed Tooling for any engineering tools you may need.
You will need to be aware of occupational health and safety regulations and certain work like electrical and plumbing tasks, need to be carried out by licensed tradespeople.
Accurate estimate of costs
One of the most common pitfalls for home renovation projects beyond the legislative and legal requirements is the failure to budget correctly for the work.
You need to set out a detailed estimated cost of renovations and break down the costs to a detailed level, including things like how many power points you want to add and even how many door handles you need.
Not taking the time to complete a detailed financial feasibility study and create an accurate budget is the downfall of many property owners, who end up running out of money and can sometimes be unable to actually complete the work.
Choose your renovation project carefully
Spending too much money on your property improvements or doing work that fails to add value will result in no financial gain and may even end up putting you in a worse financial position than when you started.
It is vital that a renovation project that is being carried out in order to improve the appearance and value of a property is capable of adding value when it is completed. Even relatively minor decisions, like putting in French doors rather than bi-fold doors which can be roughly twice as expensive, can make all the difference to the outcome of your renovation project.
Think ahead
If you are planning to renovate to suit your personal taste and have no plans to sell the property for some while that would be fine, but if you are renovating to improve its value in a sale, you need to think of your target market.
You should never renovate a property where your personal likes take priority over the general preferences of the type of person who is going to buy your property from you.
Project management
You need to make the time to properly project manage your renovation or you could easily end up paying too much for materials and labor.
A lack of time or preparation will often result in a renovator being unable to shop around and negotiate the best price for their goods and labor costs. Using something like Microsoft Project can really make the task of project management easier and help you to free up more time for the important art of negotiation.
Some home renovators wish they could go back and start over again. Avoid that felling by trying to plan properly and avoid these common pitfalls.

5 Home office design tips for the remote worker
In today's fast-paced world, it's not difficult to imagine the appeal of working from home in a remote office. But certain issues arise from that dream, such as where in your home to locate the office, how to minimize distractions, and the ever so difficult task of staying motivated.
In this article, we'll explore various options to maximize efficiency. You may be looking for a new job because your current employer frowns on working from home: Check on Randstad, Jobsearch or similar sites to see if home-working is mentioned before applying, it is not really a question you can ask if it is not mentioned.
Location, Location, Location
Your employer permits working from home, and you've obtained permission to do so. You are lucky because not every employer allows this; some tasks just cannot be done away from your colleagues. If you work in the construction industry you are unlikely to be allowed to work from home. The next step is to decide where to locate your home office. The obvious location would be in the basement, away from the rest of the house, right? Wrong. The best location would be one with windows that open, allowing some fresh outdoor air to come indoors.
Fifty shades of colors other than grey
Believe it or not, color plays a major role in productivity. According to Angela Wright, color expert, what type of work you'll be doing should influence your palette choices. Blue is good for the mind, Red stimulates the body, Green promotes balance, and Yellow is good for emotional health. For example, if you do mind-work all day, Angela would probably recommend blue to keep you focused, with red accents to keep your energy level from dropping through the day. If you are a designer and you want to be creative, blue will not be the color for you. Yellow would be a better color since it stimulates your ego and spirits, making you more optimistic.
I can have exercise?
Just as important as the physical properties of the office itself, is how you comport yourself in it. The biggest killer of effectiveness is to allow your office to become more than an office. In a world where work is boring, and funny cat videos are only a few clicks away, it is exceptionally important to stay focused on work. Gloria M. Miele, Ph.D. suggests the biggest distraction in a home office is a television. Avoiding your favorite programs may seem an arduous task, but is the easiest way to avoid distractions. Regular breaks to walk around and exercise are also vital.
Socially antisocial?
According to Sciencedaily.com, the biggest drawback to working from home is one you wouldn't expect: Lonliness. That's right; as much as you may enjoy working from home, the social part of your brain still longs to be part of the team in the office, so the way around this is to get the best of both worlds into your office. A simple application called iDoneThis allows just that. IDoneThis tracks your progress and achievements, and sends that report to the office, so you can share with your team.
Balance is Key
Lastly, finding balance to your home/home office is essential. Letting other members of your household know your office is off limits is a good first step. You need to always remember that working from home is a bit of a misnomer. You're not working from home, you're working from your office, which just so happens to be inside your home. As long as you keep this in mind, you're on the path to success. But there is a flip side to this as well; remember that you are at home. It is recommended that you allow yourself a short break every couple hours to relax, and keep your mind sharp.

48 Amazing space-saving small kitchen island designs
Small kitchen layouts can present some difficult design challenges, but regardless of the size of your kitchen, the kitchen island is a practical feature for function and storage. Even the smallest island can pack a punch with creative storage solutions. For urbanites, apartment dwellers and small-home owners, the heart of the home can become the bane of your existence when space is at a premium. If you have a small kitchen, a small kitchen island can add an effective solution for cooking, storage and even pulling double duty as a dining table. If the island is on casters then it can be stored out of the way after use to make your small kitchen feel more spacious. A small island can also be a strategic option in larger kitchens if the objective is to maintain an airy and spacious design aesthetic. By maximizing every inch of precious space, and you and your kitchen will be able to work wonders together. We have some creative images below with some ideas of how to pull off a small island in various kitchen sizes and styles.
Island with Open Storage {image above}
Visually expand the look of your small kitchen with a combination of open and closed storage options. This tiny island packs a punch with a trio of closed doors — used to hold items such as dish towels and silverware — and two open shelves to stow away frequently used cookbooks. A solid island design would have overwhelmed this small kitchen layout, but open shelving keeps the space looking light and airy.
This wall-mounted bar-height table made from reclaimed wood doubles as a kitchen island chopping area and eat-in dining space. It was attached directly into the wall studs rather than taking up more space with additional legs.
Rugged and Simple
Even a narrow island can make a big difference in the style and function of a kitchen. A French antique, this small table offers extra prep space in a kitchen where space is too tight for a full-size island. It also contributes to the old-world theme set by the stone range hood, tile floor, and distressed cabinetry.
A tall, narrow English cabinet dating back to the 1890s is repurposed as an island in the newly remodeled galley-style kitchen.
Simple Surfaces
Worn paint suits cottage furniture. In the kitchen, paint furniture that won't be used for food prep, then rough it up with sandpaper for a timeworn finish.
Rolling Kitchen Island
Rolling island has extra workspace and storage, and hides your wastebasket, and even has a genuine hardwood butcher block surface for food prep.
Great idea – use a dresser on casters as both a small island and a table for a banquette seat.
Save some space in your kitchen and keep your working area well regulated by creating a slide-out cutting board on wheels on your own! You'll be proud by the end result!
Space Smart
There was no room to add an island to this small kitchen so the homeowners got creative and added a rolling cabinet that can easily be moved into the space when needed for meal preparation.
Mobile Metal
Make the most of limited kitchen space with a mobile kitchen island. This moveable unit provides additional prep space when needed, but can be tucked away in a pantry or an empty corner to promote efficient traffic flow while entertaining. The island's sleek surface blends seamlessly with the kitchen's stainless-steel appliances and brilliant chrome fixtures.
Rustic Revival
In a newly renovated kitchen, rustic elements such as this authentic chop block create a strong visual moment in the room. The wood accent adds a warm touch to a room with modern finishes and sleek, stainless-steel appliances.
Fully Portable
When space is tight, a rolling cart is a smart alternative to a stationary island. The metal cart matches the kitchen's vintage-industrial feel and feels integrated into the space, thanks to the same wooden top as the kitchen countertops.
Just the Right Size
Measuring just 3×4 feet, this small island is still roomy enough to gather around without crowding the modest-size kitchen. On the other side, cabinets and drawers offer extra storage. Here's a tip: An ideal island is proportioned and shaped to fit the room. If a kitchen is long and narrow, the island should typically be the same.
Cottage Calm
Long abandoned in the home's basement, this small island inspired the kitchen's entire look. The vintage table's weathered surface adds cottage character to this sunny kitchen. The original tabletop was replaced with a new slab of black soapstone to transform the piece into a stunning focal point.
Furniture-Style Island
Furniture-inspired details create a classic farmhouse vibe in this small kitchen. Similar to the surrounding cabinetry, the petite island is outfitted with exposed feet, a characteristic typically found in kitchens of the past. A stainless-steel countertop echoes the finish of nearby appliances and adds an unexpected touch of modern flair to the traditional space.
Store-It-All Small Island
Even the smallest island can pack a punch with creative storage solutions. This slender, furniture-style island is outfitted with three narrow cabinets, providing convenient storage for items such as cake pans and cookie sheets. A large drawer on one side of the island offers a handy stowaway space for a recycling bin.
Slim and Stylish
Purchased from a flea market, a slender island easily integrates with the kitchen's vintage vibe. The aged wooden surface feels at home with the room's handcrafted cherry countertops, beaded-board walls, and classic polished-nickel fixtures. The table's soft blue color adds subtle contrast to warm off-white walls and cabinetry without stealing focus away from decorative elements scattered throughout the kitchen.
Small kitchens, especially those with U- or L-shape layouts, can accommodate an island, if it is the right size. Measure your kitchen and keep in mind that walkways around the islands should be 36 inches wide. Determine what size of island your kitchen could handle and start looking. A rustic worktable suits this kitchen's cottage style. Consider an island on wheels to make it easy to move as necessary, such as when you're serving a buffet.
Carting Convenience
A moveable cart extends counter space and storage in this bright room without interrupting its efficient traffic flow. The island's wood finish plays off of the wood flooring to warm up this white kitchen. A small rug placed under the cart prevents it from sliding while in use.
Vintage Butcher-Block Island
Cast off from an old butcher shop, a butcher-block table works as a small island to complement this kitchen's quirky flea market aesthetic. As a hint to the table's lengthy history, the countertop dips slightly lower in the middle. A painted chair placed on one side of the island provides a casual dining spot in the heart of the kitchen.
Slender Solution
A long, slender island ensures efficient traffic flow in this boxy kitchen. The island's slim stature allows multiple cooks to work simultaneously in the kitchen and also offers a convenient buffet area for casual entertaining. Drawers on one side of the island provide storage for kitchen essentials, while a built-in microwave on the other side of the structure conserves counter space.
Tip: Store seating
If there's enough room for an island, go for it. Not only do they provide plenty of much-needed workspace, they also work as a place to eat, should you need one. If you do, go for an island with room underneath for stools to be stashed when not in use.
Mobile Work Station
In a kitchen of this stature, even the smallest built-in island would have gobbled up needed floor space. Instead, the homeowners elected to incorporate a moveable butcher-block table, outfitted with slim storage and big style. The narrow table can slide into the center of the room to provide additional prep or food-staging space, but can be tucked into a nearby niche when it's no longer needed.
Beachy Wooden Island
A tiny wooden table provides convenient staging and storage space in this sunny cottage kitchen. The table's weathered wooden surface hints at the home's coastal location and adds contrast to break up simple white cabinetry and beaded-board walls. An open shelf below the island offers storage space for kitchen accessories.
Hidden Assets
This seemingly normal kitchen island has hidden wheels which allow it to serve as additional counter space or as a small dining spot. It's easy to tuck a pair of stools next to the mobile island for a simple meal for two.
Rustic Charm
A wooden island adds rustic character and accessible prep space to this tiny kitchen. A large drawer offers space to stow away bulky kitchen essentials, while an open shelf below displays mixing bowls and trays. A handful of scratches and knots add a vintage patina to the petite island design.
Tip: Roll with it
A rolling cart is the small kitchen's bff. Wheel it out when you need some more counter space, slide it to the side when you don't.
Country Chic Charm
A furniture-style kitchen island is topped with a rustic chop block in this country chic kitchen. The look of this island makes it feel integrated into the kitchen while still getting the attention it deserves.
Roll-Out Carts for Additional Work Space
Extend your work space and storage by tucking roll-out carts beneath the kitchen island. They're out of sight yet easily accessible. Choose a laminate top for the carts to provide a work surface and extra-deep drawers to accommodate dry goods, cookware, and other kitchen essentials.
All in the Details
Narrow kitchen layouts can present some difficult design challenges. This homeowner made the most of her limited space with a long, slender island, outfitted with both style and function. Curved brackets dress up the island's boxy structure, while a bit of extended countertop creates a casual dining spot for one.

plant pots made out of wood do not last well and if treated have to wait to use.They do look nice but they need a liner as you will need to perserve the wood .
its a tree year cycle with strawberries so you ditch the three year old plant on the new plantlets and the second year ones provide the fruit .
how about Percy thrower or geoff hamilton.
I clear the water butts at least twice a year.
leigionnaires is found in showers and taps and in nice moist enviroment thats warm.In the hospital we had to run the taps and showers for 2mins each week to clear the pipes of this threat among many.With anything it is wise to take procautions by wearing gloves and a mask .I have worked in many situations where the threat was very real (including swine flu)and to be sure good protection is a must .So with anything even gardening you would be silly not to.
I think climate change is a big factor in gardening these last few years and also the increase vegetable prices due to this and of course population explosion.I also think people could do more to grow their own fruit and veg(keep Hens) even in a small garden.I have saved a lot by growing my own and eggs from my daughters hens.It is sad to see so many apple and pear trees laden with fruit that is wasted .
they do a bit mouldy,I cut off the offending bits and they grow back but now they will beginning to die back.I have mine in pots and keep in shed where they seem to like and dont die right back.
make sure you clear it out once in awhile as soil ,muck and midges will settle in it.So once in awhile at the beginning and end of season clean out .dont let the water stagnant.
thats ok,I have too! and they will come up.what they dont like is soggy soil.
its good that it does fly off as to keep it alert.The young ones are very vunerable because of their need to follow you when digging or poking about in the garden as this is what they use to do or what they do in the wilder places,following pigs or any annimal that is turning the soil so as they can take advantage of getting those worms.They are fearless rather than friendly!

The Judge believes everything that the Opposing Party says. Always finds fault. Ignores the law. Is he just siding with his Law School buddies? If I hire a Lawyer, they are afraid to call the Judge on it.
Aren't there some areas where the Judge has to do what the law and the Appeals court says?
bias Pro se litigants commonly mistake collateral matters of no significance for important issues, and vice-versa. Pro se litigants often take personally things that are impersonal. In no circumstance does a pro se litigant have a handle on a proceeding that may be described as "objective" or at least "disinterested." In my experience, significant, detectable bias on a judge's part is somewhat rare. Usually judges bend over backwards to give an appearance of impartiality. Not always, though. And where there is a failure to follow the law, there is usually a right of appeal.
Enlist counsel to help you sort this out.
I agree with both counsel, i would only add that when you step into the ocean it doesn't hurt to have friends with you who know the sharks.
Gender bias on the bench exists; it is outside a judge's "discretion"; it is unlawful; and there are ways of handling it when it appears.
with that out of the way, welcome to the world of litigation. Once you step foot into a lawsuit, you are inviting the judge to do two basic things: decide who is more likely telling the truth; and interpret and apply the law to the factual conclusions. One side wins (although not always what they hoped for) ; the other side loses (although sometimes not as bad as it could have been).
It is therefore within a trial judge's discretion to believe one side over another, and to apply the law as he or she sees it. A Court of Appeal will not disturb the trial judge's findings on credibility or other facts, but it will make sure that the correct law was applied correctly. But please also remember that most laws give the trial judge a range of options, and exercising those options is what is called exercising permissible discretion. Gender bias is not one of those permissible options, but proving that bias was the motivating factor is difficult to do - it requires more than a hunch.
I join with my colleagues in recommending that you retain an attorney to help you navigate these waters. That is why we are here.
There are some subjects on which the law makes a clear call, but many others in which it is only possible to state general principles, and within those principles there is a fairly wide range of acceptable resolutions. That range is the realm of judicial discretion, and reviewing courts in general will not reverse for any reasonable decision within the exercise of that discretion.
Over the years I have seen a number of cranky, ill-tempered and non-learned judges but I have never once seen a pro-se litigatnt who was able to handle anything harder more complicated than a traffic ticket with skill, insight and efficiency. Judges in my experience try to be fair to pro se litigants, but they can be a drain on anybody's patience and, by definition, they lack the objectivity essential to the proper handling of litigatin.
Judicial discretion may have little to do with what you describe. It appears more like you do not properly present your side of the case - whatever the case is, since you did not mention that. Just because you have received negative responses from the judge does not mean he is abusing his discretion. Hire a lawyer. You are in over your head.
Gender should be irrelevant to judicial discretion. A judge cannot favor one gender over the other.
I cannot provide any further advice to you, without reviewing your matter in detail. If you are dissatisfied with your lawyer, you are free to termination your relationship with him or her and to hire someone new.

Comments about LiteRider Classic Connect Stroller - Little Hoot:
I use this stroller every day and have not had any problems with it.
I read that some people had close calls with the front wheels getting stuck, but perhaps they got a faulty one ( just exchange it because it works wonderfully on the sidewalk). The space in the bottom is pretty good, I fit the diaper bag, my bag and bags when I go shopping as well. It has 3 compartments to put drinks and snacks for the parent and a cup/bottle holder for the child. There is room for dangling their feet, which they love doing and also room to have toys with them in their seats.
The reclining system is super easy, only 2 positions though, it would be nice to have another, but that's just being picky. The owl design is super cute and it works for both girls and boys.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

HARRISONBURG -- Billions of dollars worth of budget cuts went into effect after Pres. Barack Obama and Congress failed to reach a deal.
One of these cuts means thousands of kids will get dropped from their Head Start programs.
Congressman Bob Goodlatte discussed the impact these budget cuts would have on the students. He told a WHSV reporter these cuts will ultimately benefit students in the long term.
"Those same children who are being educated all of the money being borrowed to pay for all of this, would be on their shoulders in their future. Their future to have good jobs and good opportunities and not huge debt put on their shoulders is dependent in our government having control over government spending," said Congressman Goodlatte.
Congressman Goodlatte said Pres. Obama and members of Congress agreed on the $85 billion cuts a year and a half ago. He said it's important that agreement is honored to get spending under control.

My brother and I went Christmas shopping together on the day after Thanksgiving. We each purchased a gift for our families that promoted fitness and well-being. During our conversation, he commented that his goal for the next month was just to maintain his weight and that he would focus on weight loss come January. I disagreed. I said every year I think of the holidays as "time-off" from any diet I am on. But, every year I have failed. I am going to continue during this month to watch my calorie intake, make healthy eating choices, and workout daily. I will lose weight this holiday season. That is the choice I choose to make.
Now, one would argue I didn't model this declaration of Healthy Holidays during Thanksgiving. While I would concede that I did overindulge on turkey and wine and had two Rice Krispy treats in two days, I also made a lot of good choices during the festivities. I skipped the stuffing and pie, for instance. I did not butter my roll and I put low-fat Laughing Cow on my turkey sandwich rather than mayo or regular cheese. I ate lots of veggies and drank a lot of water. And, I did a 4-mile walk on Thanksgiving. While not perfect, I made plenty of good choices.
In the end, that is what I am thankful for. I live in a place and time where I have choices. In the past, I made excuses. Today, I make choices. Today, I choose to make healthy decisions for my body and lose weight during a time I traditionally have packed it on. I choose to lose weight this holiday season and I am thankful for this choice.
This Duh! moment was brought to me by my nutrition tracker and the decision to--and this is a mind-blower--be honest with myself about what I was putting in my mouth. Since I am consistently (4-5 days out of 7) eating about 500 calories more than I should to lose weight, it is no wonder the scale is not budging. Now, I have continued to workout, so I am getting leaner and I have noticed clothing fitting better as I reshape my body (the good news). But I won't see the scale move, even as I increase my moving, if I don't decrease my intake. Now that I have all the facts, I need to make a change. Starting today.

"She should apologize to Dora!"

Someone said the word "condom" in Elisabeth Hasselbeck's presence and her head did not explode! (We cannot speak for Sherri Shepherd, though.) Thank you, Joy Behar, for asking tough questions of the "Jersey Shore" cast when they visited "The View."
P.S. I apologize for any painful mental images that may have resulted from reading that headline. Keep reading »
Who else is sad that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is taking the next few months off from "The View" for maternity leave? (She had her third child this month.) I am, mainly because Lizzie helps instigate some of the show's most entertaining brawls, and it wouldn't be fair to expect Sherri Shepherd to up the crazy in her absence. Thank goodness "View" producers have hired Meghan McCain to cover for Hasselbeck. She's going to do a three-day guest spot starting September 9. Also on board is former Fox News anchor E.D. Hill, who called Barack and Michelle Obama's infamous fist bump a "terrorist fist jab." Wait, should Hasselbeck be worried that "The View" might find a permanent replacement?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck's new book The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide is supposed to help people with Celiac disease, like herself, eat well. Too bad she may have ripped the idea from someone else. Massachusetts-based author Susan Hasset is suing the "View" co-host for copyright infringement. Apparently Hasset, who can't digest wheat either, sent Hasselbeck a copy of her book Living With Celiac Disease last April, along with a cooking video, a note, a business card, and a nice bundle of info. So is it just a coincidence that Hasselbeck's book hit the shelves last month? [Fox News] Keep reading »
On yesterday's episode of "The View," Elisabeth Hasselbeck responded to the Playboy.com article written by Guy Cimbalo that listed her as one of the conservative women he'd like to "hate f**k." I don't blame her for being offended — I would pitch a fit if, say, Rush Limbaugh said he wanted to hate f**k me — but her annoyance that the National Organization for Women didn't immediately respond (in fact, they didn't know) is misplaced. After all, they have bigger fish to fry right now, like the murder of doctors like Dr. George Tiller.

Could someone recommend me a USB ethernet extender that will run USB 2.0 at a distance of 10 metres between a PC and a Hitachi Starboard. An oversight in room design has left us with a flakey connection at the moment!
I can't promise it'll work with the Starboard but we're using this:
USB Superbooster Extender Kit - C2G
on all of our Promethean whiteboards (110 or so) and it works nicely.

To be one of the top footballers, it takes more than just skill. As peculiar as it may sound, it also makes a difference when you're born. Take, for example, the eleven Manchester United players who started against Chelsea on … Continue reading
