For Immediate Release
Date: 03/01/13
House Republican Leader Ken Fredette and Senate Republican Leader Mike Thibodeau met with Governor LePage this afternoon. It was a productive meeting where all three discussed the Democrats' continued delay of the plan to pay Maine's bills and create jobs.
The number one priority of Republicans is to pay Maine's debts to its hospitals while creating jobs and doing something responsible with the liquor revenue.
Republican leadership sought to discuss the Governor's concerns with the delay of the hospital bill. The Governor elaborated on his earlier comments, telling Republican leadership that he would not consider signing legislation that does not have broad, bipartisan support or promote job creation until the hospital debt is paid.
"It's important to remember that the Legislature will continue to do its work," said Rep. Fredette, "We must prioritize paying Maine's hospital debt and putting people back to work."
"It's time for the Democrats to do the responsible thing and help us pay Maine's bills," said Sen. Thibodeau. "The Legislature has been a black hole for money, and that's not the right place for the liquor revenue. We should use it to create jobs and pay off debt, not enable more big-government overspending."
Gov. LePage and Republican leadership call on Democrats to meet with them to find a solution for finally paying Maine's outstanding hospital debt.

Which flavor of tea you like is often subjective, but I would like to briefly walk you through "objective" understanding of tea quality. This is general idea and not necessarily all true in specific applications.
This is mostly visible in loose leaf tea before and after brewing. Take a look at your tea leaf.
Harvest can determine the base quality. Generally young tender leaves are plucked depending on what quality is desired. If the harvest include older leaves, they tend to express more substantial bitterness and astringency, which are generally not preferred for this type of harvest.
Mechanical or machine harvest tend to cause uneven harvest. Some young leaves and some younger leaves. For example, ones at the level of the cutting surface is plucked full size while ones a few inches below the cutting surface is plucked only at the tip and ones flushed early may include slightly older leaves. Often times plucking surface is cut even before harvest so no old leaves are harvested. and younger leaves included in your harvest does not degrade the quality much like older leaves. It could be better. The mechanical harvest does not retain leaf shape completely.
Although hand plucking generally acheive better quality due to more selective plucking, it is also influenced by pluckers' experience level. Inexperienced pluckers do not know subtle balance of hand pressure and tenderness of the harvestable leaves for desired tea quality. Bad plucking tends to damage leaves and cause faster degradation.
Harvest timing also determines the quality. Spring harvest tends to be higher quality since cool whether slows hardening of the tender leaf. Even within spring harvest early harvest generally holds more delicate flavor compare to later harvest.
There are some regions that found a way to take advantage of seasonality to process and express different characteristics. In such case, spring harvest, summer harvest, winter harvest are all interesting to compare, or maybe not compare but enjoy separately.
High altitude tends to have higher quality than low land (sea level) because of lower temperature keeps the young succulent shoots from hardening although low land tea might grow faster because of higher temperature. Elevation too high can be problem due to frost damage. Tea is basically sub-tropical plant and does not like frost very much. Certain varieties are bred to withstand frost, but they may compromise some qualities.

Water is one of the most essential requirements for living. Everyone is aware that in the hot weather, sweat and soaring temperatures cause dehydration and therefore, it is essential to drink water then. But what about when the colder weather approaches? The weather cools down and is conducive to exercising, but you do not feel as thirsty as you used to. It has been found that the cold weather induces more water loss as compared to the hot months. Follow the tips given below for keeping yourself hydrated during the cool months.
- Drink Plenty Of Water – The importance of drinking water even if you are not thirsty cannot be emphasized enough. Drink plenty of water before and after exercising. The recommended 8 glasses of water is for those people whose activity level is not very high. For others, drink more water. To know how much water you should drink check the color of your urine. It should be either pale yellow or clear.
- Eat Food Rich In Water Content – Apart from drinking sufficient water eat foods that are rich in water like cucumbers and watermelons. They help your body to stay hydrated.
- Restore Electrolyte Balance With A Sports Drink – For those who work outdoors or indulge in intensely heavy workouts, they must make it a point to have some sports drink before and after the workout. These sports drinks contain salts and sugars that restore the electrolyte imbalance in the body caused due to water loss.
- Listen To Your Body – Drink water whenever you feel thirsty. Your thirst is your body's way of telling you that it is getting dehydrated. Slow down physical activities at such times and let it recover.
Drinking water is the easiest way to keep your body hydrated. Whenever you notice symptoms like dry and sticky mouth followed by headache, fatigue, increased heartbeat, fever, chills and no urination, consult your physician, as all these are symptoms of dehydration.
It is also advised to reduce intake of tea and coffee as these caffeinated drinks cause more dehydration than any other beverage. Exercise well but be sure to replace the lost liquid in your body. Maintain hydration and you will be healthy.

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Set Visit Preview
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted 1 year, 332 days ago
Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are locked in battle atop a snowy cold mountain. Somehow Storm Shadow has gotten the upper hand and he's got Snake Eyes pinned to the ground. Try as he might, Snake Eyes can't escape. While they've battled many times, they're always equally matched, and it's hard for either to get the upper hand. But not this time. On this day, it looks like Strom Shadow is finally going to win. But as he applies even more force with seething anger in his eyes, all of a sudden, Jinx appears from behind and she's got some sort of breathing device that she puts on his nose and mouth, and a second later, Storm Shadow falls unconscious. I then hear director Jon M. Chu call cut.
But let me back up a second.
When G.I. Joe: Retaliation was filming in New Orleans, I got to visit the set with a few other online reporters. While there we got to watch a ton of filming, see some footage, and speak with Chu, Byung-Hun Lee (Storm Shadow), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Elodie Yung (Jinx), Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock), DJ Cotrona (Flint), and Ray Stevenson (Firefly), and producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura. Hit the jump for more.

Rollins College is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which students, faculty, and staff can work together in an atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination. Specifically, every member of the College community should be aware that Rollins is strongly opposed to discrimination, including sexual harassment, and that such behavior is prohibited by College policy (http://www.rollins.edu/hr/policies/docs/general-policies/030000.pdf). It is the intention of the College to take whatever action may be necessary to prevent, correct, and, if necessary, discipline for behavior which violates this policy.

text: ABC posted an interesting article about Social Security today. I've never thought about Social Security as a type of insurance before this article. Our government could sure take a lesson or two about managing risk. When Social Secuirty was founded, the payout was at age 65 at a time when we lived to the average age of 64. Now our average age is much older, and there simply have not been enough adjustments to the payout schedule to make this "insurance policy" work. No wonder I'm paying into an "insurance policy" that likely won't be around when I retire.

The SCORE Girls on Boob Cruise 1995 put on exotic dance shows for excited passengers on the deck of the Windjammer ship The Polynesia. 'After sailing with the SCORE Girls, ordinary women look like men!' passenger B.P. noted. Angelique was just beginning to play around with the thought of becoming a full-time exotic dancer and she wore her sexy native outfits for her show. As a Brazillian, wild, hot dancing is in her blood and she shook her ass and tits like a whirling dervish of sex. This dance number was originally added to the Boob Cruise movie Big Boob Mamathon. 'My English is very bad,' Angelique said. 'I felt embarrassed. All of the...

- Real profiles with 100% accurate photos
- Advanced anti-scam and privacy protection
Hey everyone, just got here to taste the waters, but after a while I found out that it's quite ok here, so I sent a couple of messages, chatted a bit, one thing led to another and I met Julia. I never thought that it would actually work... I mean all this online dating, but despite everything I gave it a try. Our messaging was fun and made me feel cosy as we were talking for real. I can't say that it was love at first sight, but after a month I was already adamant that one cannot succeed without running a risk, so I ordered a trip to her.
Lviv is a wonderful city, it's like a portal to the Middle Ages, it's full of romance and maybe that is why everything was that great. After a trip I came back and we continued messaging but already as a couple, I can't fully express all my feelings here, I was in love.... and that is all about.
As for now, Julia has just came to me and I'm spluttering with delight when she's next to me... hope my next post here will be about our wedding, I promise to attach a photo!!! Good luck everyone, and thank you, Foreigngirlfriend!!!
We are so so happy! It's a miracle! Yes, this is OUR story!
Let's start from the very beginning. I was 32 and single, not actually too old for a guy, but still single without any girlfriends around… I spent all my spare time at work, so the only way to find someone was the Internet or a miracle. I googled different sites, registered on several, but ultimately I stopped at Foreigngirlfriend. I have been messaging for a while and almost gave up, but there was one lady who conquered my heart even via online chatting. Her name is Anne and I'm proud to say that she's now my wife! But let the story flow in the right order. After a month of daily messaging I finally decided to visit her in Saint Petersburg, you never know... But things turned to be much faster so I stayed there for an entire month, the brilliant month, and the best month in my life! She was so shy, mysterious, and alluring; no man could resist such charisma. I hardly could believe that it was for real, so I decided to propose her, like now or never! And she said YES!! And now she's right next to me, commenting my post =)) Thank you God and thank you, Foreigngirlfriend, You're doing great job, god bless.
Dreams come true — it's more than just an expression, it's a proven fact! But let me introduce myself first. My name is Alyona. I'm in my early 30s and was born in Rovno, now I live in Coventry with my beloved husband Arthur. At first I was skeptic about all this online dating, I was disappointed in guys I met in Ukraine, maybe my luck or my fate led me to my happiness... anyhow I joined Foreigngirlfriend just to see what it's all about. I barely knew English, but it wasn't an obstacle, when you like someone, you understand each other without words. So I chatted with many men and finally met Arthur, he dropped me a line and everything began... I'm a challenging kind of person so when things came to real meeting, Arthur wanted to come to me on his vacation. I was so excited about it, and I decided to come to his place first! He was waiting for me…In fact the ticket that he presented me was the ticket to our happiness!
Nothing can do more for people in love than England, it's soooo romantic, Arthur behaved like a real gentleman and real knight! No one treated me that way! I love him so much! I'm the happiest person on earth! He proposed me!!! But before we become a married couple, we shall visit my parents and do everything according to our traditions! Oh god, we are sooo excited and happy!!
We all know that words will never express what love really is, so it's just my story I'd like to share with all of you. I'll try to make a long story short: I'm 51 years old man from Omaha, divorced. So I wasn't really optimistic to meet someone online, but a friend of mine told me that we only live once and we have to try everything. So I joined and was surprised - so many letters, so many ladies!
I replied only to those who were over 30, age means a lot for me. At the end of month I received a message from Tatyana, we chatted, exchanged some photos... and here I am, a man who is planning a wedding with his beloved and charming woman! Go ahead, be optimistic and believe in love – that is all you need to find happiness with that special someone!

The Middle East and Africa saw strong growth in phone handset shipments, which were up 20% year on year. The U.S. saw 11% growth. Europe saw only single-digit growth.
ABI said Nokia's market-share was 34%, followed by:

Future Ted: Kids, I'm gonna tell you an incredible story — the story of how I met your mother.In the year 2030, Ted Mosby recounts to his kids the story of how he and their mother met and fell in love. Although each episode is ostensibly an important step on the way to Ted meeting "The Mother," it seems Ted is the kind of person who uses this basic premise as an excuse to ramble off onto hundreds of other, completely unrelated anecdotes. For nine seasons' worth of episodes, Ted discusses the modern day in a nostalgic way and describes the strong bond between Ted and his group of friends.In the year 2005, Ted (Josh Radnor) is an architect living in New York with his best friend, aspiring lawyer Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel). When Marshall announces that he is getting engaged to his college sweetheart, Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), it prompts Ted to take an introspective look at his life and decide that he is finally ready to settle down and start searching for "The One", much to the disgust of his "best friend" and serial womanizer Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris).Enter Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), a TV news reporter from Canada with whom Ted falls in love at first sight and manages to scare off just as quickly. Though she is affirmatively not the destined Mother of Ted's future children, she befriends Lily and goes on to become an integral part of the group. Over the next decade, the five friends struggle with romance, careers, lost dreams and lives that did not turn out the way they expected, but in retrospect led them all to the ending they hoped for.This sitcom uses its Framing Device and narrator (Bob Saget, uncredited) to surprisingly good effect, admitting to parts where the narrator honestly had no first-hand recollection of the events, doing very swift flashbacks to build up to a punchline or events are recalled out-of-order in order to create twists and surprises that achieve maximum impact (every method can be seen in the memorable episode "The Pineapple Incident"). In other episodes, the framing device allows Ted to retell stories involving foul curse words or drugs by substituting each with an Unusual Euphemism for his children's benefit.The show at first feels very similar to a regular sitcom but is actually a mixture of both single camera and three cameras. There is extensive outdoor location filming in addition to the regular sitcom-style sets. The narrative gimmick gives the show an edge in allowing them to portray a fairly complex universe of seemingly unimportant events and myriad callbacks. The show went 9 seasons, covering the years 2005-2013. The first eight seasons were contemporary and in approximate Real Time. The last season centered around the weekend Ted and the Mother met, although utilizing plenty of the shows standard Anachronic Order of events.A spinoff named How I Met Your Dad was announced as a gender-flipped version of the show fall of 2013, following unrelated characters and produced by the same people. A pilot was shot, but was not picked up.Now with a Ho Yay, Hey, It's That Guy!, and recap pages (which could use some Wiki Magic right about now). You can also vote for best episodes here.
Future Son: Are we being punished for something?
Future Ted: (confused) No.
Future Daughter: Yeah, is this gonna take a while?
Future Ted: Yes.
Get ready for the series' tropes cause they're LEGEN—wait for it...

You see, I haven't seen my father since I was around 3 or 4 and know nothing of his family. Finding my father's genetic fingerprint using my DNA was the real reason I got involved with 23andme in the first place, and that was nearly 4 years ago. I've found many clues over the years, and testing my mother was key to teasing my father out, but I've never been closer to 'knowing' my father than I am right now. So, let me introduce you to my dad, or at least my genetic dad. That's him, on the bottom:
Anyway, if you've been curious but waiting on the sidelines because of cost, maybe now is the time to jump in? It's been a wonderful journey for me: I've met a lot of great people from all over the world and have learned so much since I got my results in April 2009. Come and join me and find your genetic roots:

Climate change is worsening an already unprecedented scarcity of resources, including water and arable land in some of the world's most volatile and impoverished regions. Environmental degradation most strongly impacts vulnerable communities, primarily because these places lack the coping mechanisms that normally protect lives and livelihoods.
Mercy Corps is committed to helping these communities address and adapt to environmental changes. Our programs increase access to clean energy, manage limited water supplies, and teach farmers to protect their land.

The Emancipator Bubble
Even though I'm not very proficient in Spanish, I'm pretty sure that the Emancipator Bubble is a hoax. According to the machine translation, the Emancipator Bubble "is an inflatable cockpit, with bubble form, that allows you independent living without leaving the familiarity of your house." In other words, it's a large inflatable bubble that you live in, instead of just living in your room. It comes in various models, such as the Sexmancipator. This racy model is "Made with a plastic similar to the latex and with an interior permanently lubricated. It incorporates a small vibrating motor. It is totally soundproof towards the outside." I think the concept of the Emancipator Bubble is a marketing concept dreamed up by a bubble gum company. (via We Make Money Not Art)

Hoax indeed. The basic instructions have some fake Japanese. It's in katakana, but it makes no sense at all.Posted by Kentaro Mori on Fri Jan 21, 2005 at 01:15 PM
Drat. I could have used that for my husbands "dog house" when he gets on my last nerve!Posted by Myst on Fri Jan 21, 2005 at 05:56 PM
and now for something completely different...(would have gone on the forums except they're not working with me today):Posted by surreal8 on Sat Jan 22, 2005 at 06:08 AM
Wow. I am definately buying that!!!!Posted by davetolomy on Sun Jan 23, 2005 at 05:19 AM
I'm not really sure I understand what it does. You can live in a small bubble, instead of just your room. You are still dependent upone your parents for the water, phone, etc...Posted by Maegan in Tampa, FL - USA on Sun Jan 23, 2005 at 12:21 PM
So, it doesn't really make you feel emancipated. Plus, this space is a hell of a lot smaller than your room & if your parents were smart, they'd figure out a way to tape you in, so you'd quit bugging them.
It's totally a hoax.

I don't quite understand the point either. Probobly would be easier to understand if it was in English, but then again, maybe not. Seems a bit silly.Posted by Glamcat on Wed Jan 26, 2005 at 05:50 PM
As far as I know, the Emancipator Bubble is some kind of art project, more than an actual product. It's been conceived by a group of artists from Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) as a sarcastic response to the high prices of flats here, which make very difficult to emancipate from one's parents. They've had plenty of press coverage, although, so I don't know if they'll eventually sell actual bubbles.Posted by Enfisema in Spain on Thu Jan 27, 2005 at 06:48 AM

Tsvangirai's Botswana connection
So what was Morgan Tsvangirai doing in Botswana? Mmegi's Zimbabwean correspondent BILLY MAGEDI looks at the Movement for Democratic Change-T (MDC-T) leader's close relationship with Gaborone and its implications for Botswana-Zimbabwe relations and Zimbabwean politics.
HARARE – Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe shares a strained relationship with Botswana's Ian Khama. What upsets Mugabe and his party is that Khama has warmed up to Mugabe's rival in that country's power sharing government, Tsvangirai.Botswana, a close ally of Zimbabwe during the country's liberation struggle, shared a cordial working relationship with ZAPU, which in the post independence politics of Zimbabwe became the opposition.
When Zimbabwe plunged into a civil war that resulted in more than 20 000 defenseless civilians being maimed by a Zanu PF military wing in the 1980s known as the Fifth Brigade for allegedly being ZAPU followers, Botswana gave refuge to ZAPU leader, the late Joshua Nkomo.Decades later in 2008 when Mugabe lost an election for the first time in his political career, violent scenes reminiscent of the 1982-7 civil war resurfaced. The state machinery was used to suppress Tsvangirai's supporters ahead of the presidential election runoff. At that point, when MDC-T supporters were being persecuted, Tsvangirai also fled to Botswana just like Nkomo – hence proving how much Botswana's ruling party despised Mugabe's tactics.
President Khama has been outspoken over the Zimbabwean situation and in most cases finding Mugabe at fault to an extent that the Harare leader at one time said he respects Khama's father, Seretse and not the son.But acrimony at this point in time does not do Mugabe any good, especially since the two major rivals in the Zimbabwean political landscape are looking for regional support as Harare wrestles to put a new constitution in place to usher elections that would lay the foundation for a legitimate government.
In June this year, Mugabe dispatched his Vice President John Nkomo to lead a 10 men delegation on a charm offensive to Gaborone ahead of a SADC troika meeting on peace, defence and security affairs. But the team did not succeed in luring Botswana to its corner. Thus Mugabe remains with Zambian leader Michael Sata as his only steadfast ally in the region.
However, on the other hand, the MDC-T has been registering success with the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).At the MDC-T's 13th anniversary celebrations, BDP sent a delegation comprising of deputy secretary general Malebogo Kruger and executive secretary Thabo Fanu Masalila. The delegation re-assured its support to the MDC-T's fight for democracy in Zimbabwe.
"We deeply recognise the role played by the MDC in the political landscape of Zimbabwe over the last decade and commend you for your inspiring and emphatic growth. The BDP has followed and has been encouraged by the outstanding achievements of the MDC," read part of the message from Khama.
Last week Tsvangirai was on a weeklong visit to Botswana much to the disgust of Zanu PF. It was reported in the state media – which is the mouthpiece of Zanu PF that Tsvangirai had gone to Botswana to ask for funding for his party, an allegation that the MDC-T violently refutes. Under Zimbabwe's Political Parties Finance Act, foreign funding for political parties is illegal. In other words, the propaganda being pushed is that the MDC-T seeks the assistance of Botswana to get rid of Mugabe.
It is not a new trick. In 2008, there were allegations that the MDC-T was training bandits in Botswana for purposes of overthrowing Mugabe. The allegations did not stick at the time. Zimbabwean political analyst Zama Mkhwanazi believes Botswana stands to benefit economically if Tsvangirai beats Mugabe in the next elections.
"It is strategic for Khama to support Tsvangirai because in an event that he takes over in Zimbabwe there would be a lot of business opportunities for Botswana because Zimbabwe is a sleeping economic giant," he said.It is not a secret that the relationship between Khama and Tsvangirai goes beyond government business. On his last visit to Botswana, it was reported that Tsvangirai briefed Khama on progress being made and challenges faced in Zimbabwe's constitution making process. This issue is of interest in the region for economic and political stability.As one of Zimbabwe's neighbours, Botswana has a role to play willing or unwilling.

What is Chalk Paint®?
You may have noticed that there has been some confusion recently about what Chalk Paint® is. I would like to help make things clearer.
So what is Chalk Paint®?
Chalk Paint® is the brand name for the decorative paint that I (Annie Sloan) developed over 20 years ago. Back in 1990, there was no paint available with the properties I was looking for, so I decided to develop my own. I chose the name "Chalk Paint" because it was suggestive of its very matt—almost chalky—finish. There had never been a paint called by this name or made in the same way as mine before.
There are paints that contain whiting ('whiting' is the equivalent of chalk in the paint-making world), such as gesso and calcimine or distemper. There are also paints made with lime, such as whitewash.
Chalk Paint® is different. It is not paint with chalk added to it. It is not chalkboard paint. It is not made by adding plaster of Paris or grout or even baking soda to an existing paint. Chalk Paint® is the unique decorative paint I developed for furniture, floors and walls, drawing on a lifetime of research and experience in working with paint and colour.
There are many paint products out there with different things to offer and I think it's wonderful that there are so many choices available to consumers. I'm also very happy that so many people have such an interest in paint making. I have written several books about making paint and traditional paint recipes – I love making paint too!
But just to be clear: there is only one Chalk Paint®.
Chalk Paint® is Annie Sloan paint.
Yours, Annie

I am thrilled to have (so late in the game) discovered Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!!!!ReplyDelete
You go girl! I love this post, a powerful woman, in charge, with a vision and drive. You're an inspiration. Thanks.ReplyDelete
And that is why I love it!ReplyDelete
I have, for the first time purchased your paint. I am so excited to try it! Hopefully I will be able to do as beautiful a job as all the Annie Sloan painters out there. Perhaps I will be brave enough to post a picture!!ReplyDelete
You'll see that just by using ASCP painting becomes ready and fun!Delete
Through a lifetime I've painted many miles of surfaces using all sorts of applications. But I can't wait to use your paints which, to my delight, I've discovered can be found locally here in the U. S. Northwest.ReplyDelete
Just wish it was more readily available here in the northeast usa. Its a shame Lowes or Home Depot don't carry it. I have to travel 25 miles to get it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Trudy, I live in the Northeast too, on the seacoast in New Hampshire. I know of a few places. Where are you? If you'd like, you can respond to me by email, email@example.com - Let's chat! KathyDelete

I've been in the business of decorative painting for more than 35 years. I've NEVER used a paint so user friendly and so versatile for finishing furniture and cabinetry. Although it's easy enough for a DIYer...as a professional finisher, Chalk Paint® has revolutionized by business! Thank you, Annie Sloan.ReplyDelete
Annie, I recently purchased some of your paints now available in Australia, and I love them! They are so easy to use and create with. I am so impressed that they do not have any odour either as I am unable to use paints that do.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on creating a wonderful product!
I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to connect with your product, Chalk Paint®. Finally, a paint that works for me. So many doors have been opened with the ability to create amazing finishes with this user friendly product. Thank you AnnieReplyDelete
Are you the one hassling small businesses and Etsy stores over the use of 2 common everyday words?ReplyDelete
Chalk....and paint?Replies
Yes she is the one, had a lot of facebook pages shut down and hurt a lot of small business. Annie Sloan can't own the words chalk paint. Been around long before her.Delete
Chalk paint is a brand name like Orange or Apple.. All registered brand names.Delete
I lost any respect for Annie Sloan when she began creating trouble for small businesses. Next thing we know, she will sue the regular people like me for mixing the home made stuff and calling it 'chalk paint'! Or she will sue anyone who uses round brushes if they aren't bought from her. She is ridiculously full of herself!Delete
Its been around for 20 years and South Africa is only getting it now, Can't wait to try it! Thank youReplyDelete
I want to see your paints in Turkey. When, when, when???ReplyDelete
To say it has changed my life is an understatement!ReplyDelete
Dear Annie,ReplyDelete
Your friendship and quality Chalk Paint® has changed my life. I have met so many new creative people, advanced my knowledge of paint and pigment and feel blessed to have you as a business mentor. You have been and still are always there to answer my many questions and listen to my ideas. My little shop is growing by leaps and bounds and word is getting out about that little shop in Old Town Warrenton, Va. I am becoming known as "The Paint Lady" and I love it!
So Thank You Annie Sloan for being the sensitive and kind lady I know you to be. My high regard for you is carved in stone.
Love you,

Cheeky promoting your latex paint on Annie's blog.Delete
We have many more stockists selling my paint in Ontario than a year ago. Here's a link.Delete
I have been refurbishing furniture since I was 12 years old. Two college degrees and many, many years later, it is still what I love to do most. But it wasn't until I discovered your paint and watched the excitement it caused that I thought I could afford to open a small shop. I am eternally grateful for your dedication to small businesses like mine. My shop feels like my living room. I greet everyone personally and I can regularly talk to customers for 30 minutes or more about their projects and plans. I can't tell you how many times a day I get to scroll through "before" and "after" photos on my customer's cell phones. None of this could happen in a big box store. Thank you, thank you for believing in the power of small businesses.
Molly Mansker
Annie, you are right, there is only one Chalk Paint®. Thank you for bringing this quality, easy to use, paint to North America. Thank you for giving so many people, mostly women, the opportunity to live their dream, directly or indirectly, of owning their own business. Hundreds of small businesses, some online, some home based and many brick-and-mortar stores started because of you. They would not exist today if they hadn't discovered Chalk Paint™. Many brands of paint started because of you and wouldn't be in existence or be able to survive if it wasn't for Chalk Paint™. We should celebrate what you have done for small businesses not only in North America but Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and now South Africa. You have given women all the world a chance to start that dream of owning their own business and to be able to control their own destiny. I am one of those and ever so thankful.ReplyDelete
Today I discovered your blog. I want to learn with you. I've never tried your paintings but my hobby is to change the look of furniture and accessories why I'm here.ReplyDelete
A big hug from Spain.
Dear AnnieReplyDelete
I was sent e-mail to email@example.com before yesterday. Please check and reply to me ASAP.
This is wonderful. I think that this is an awesome post because now I feel like I understand this product a little bit better now. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Please visit My Website: PhD Jobs

I tried your paint last month in Barbara Musselli's shop in Malibu and loved it. I live in Argentina and there is no Annie Sloan Chalk Paint here ...from BsAs, Argentina, Julia C.ReplyDelete
So its mean it has no chalk inside or its a brand or marketing name.ReplyDelete

I love your Chalk paint, Annie! I use it all the time.ReplyDelete
I just want to say that I understand why people are making their own- at least up here in Alaska. There is no where here in the state to buy it and $38 plus shipping is a lot to pay for a quart of paint (even though I pay it anyway- a lot of people will not.)
I would buy so much more of it if I could find it here in town. I even looked into becoming a stockiest myself, but I don't have a store so I was told I could not.
Seriously, I think the "vintage" stores here don't want to sell it because their furniture is so overpriced and they don't want to help people to DIY.
So if there is any way to get it up here, please do! Myself and many of my friends would be so grateful!Replies

I love chalk paint and have painted quite a few pieces of furniture. I have an old buffet that I wasn't planning on painting. I thought I would make it look "brighter" by applying hemp oil to it. It looks simply awful now as the oil sipped under the varnish in some spots making it look very blotchy. My question is:
Can you paint with chalk paint over surface treated with hemp oil, or would the paint just not stick to it?
The best paint ever! So easy to use, with a variety of different finishes. Love it! My favourite colour has to be Paris Grey :)ReplyDelete
