Comments Made During the Contest
Alex Hollister (Level 4)
Again, excellently written. Nice flowing dialogue. Dream sequence was a strong visual and had some shock power (although quite obviously a dream early on). Liked the way of having the title correspond to the poem. A fair amount of emotion to this piece.On the downside, a lot of the dialogue seems superfluous. There's a lot of talk in the pawnshop that need not have been there, as good as it was. Also, despite an attempt at a resolution, I didn't quite feel it. Would have preferred that the poem by used as some definitive closure for James. Maybe it did and the symbolism was lost on me.As to the integration of the two words, that side worked pretty well. Especially the 'Poet' side. To get it in the dialogue like that with his curt response worked really well. Nicely done in that respect.But overall, I just didn't feel any strong reaction to the piece in spite of the subject matter. Hence why I didn't give it any more than- GOOD.

The theme of courage is woven into this story in a few ways. The courage of James to show his work to his father, and later on the courage to throw it away, to move on (it takes courage to throw away something you have been working on for a long time).His father already states the theme; You grow a pair yet Jimmy?James bought a gun but never dared to use it.A doorway whispers. Time to move on to a new life. His father dead, a burden fell from his shoulders. He didn't suddenly learn to be courageous but the story is too short for that to happen.
Byron Matthews (Level 5)
The title of the script should probably have it's own page. I don't understand the point of the story. Sadly, I believe this one sailed over my head. The writing was clear and I really liked the opening scene; where he's shooting his father. That was making me laugh. I assume that his father was his inspiration even though he hated him?
Caroline Coxon (Mod Emeritus)
Capitalisation issues! First you don't capitalise characters like doctors and nurses when they first appear. Then you DO capitalise action lines. That's very distracting, taking me out of the story - as does capitalising random props and sound effects. Really, I just want to read your story, not have my brain blown apart!I found this a little bemusing. Great set up. The dream scene was powerful. I'm thinking that his father despised him for being a poet/writer?The scene in the library? What purpose did it serve?Then the ending. The poem was good but I don't think it was strong enough to explain why he would ditch his life's work.
Charlie Hebert (Mod Emeritus)
I thought this was well written and interesting. Really liked the dream sequences and the pen is mightier than the sword banter. For me the poetry didn't really work as poetry although it helped to complete the story. Thought this was all good, just didn't set me afire.Good luck.
Chris Messineo (Founder)
This is beautiful - like poetry.I love the main character, this poet, this librarian, haunted by his father and his failure to measure up to this man he loves and loathes.So many poignant moments here. Touching without melodrama.Your craft is flawless and this script is excellent.
Christina Anderson (Level 4)
I didn't connect with this story-- never really understood where the guy was coming from. It's written well enough; I didn't get confused and it didn't drag out, and most of all nothing annoyed me.
David M Troop (Level 5)
A Doorway WhispersThe character of James definitely has some issues with his dying father. It seems from the opening dream sequence that his father was less than a saint. James was subject to verbal abuse as a youngster (maybe worse) and fantasizes about ahooting his father.After spending most of his adult life abroad, James returns home to visit his father on his death bed. To confront him? To reconcile? To forgive? We're not sure because the father dies before he has a chance to see him.James is seen pawning a gun, so he may have had serious thoughts of revenge. But why kill a dying man? He also carries around a notebook containing a hundred page poem about his life. Reading the poem aloud to his father may have also done him in -- and not left any evidence behind.At the end, I think the two characters may have forgiven each other in their own way. The father appears to James one last time before taking the last bus to Saint Petersburg. James finishes the poem. He keeps the last page and chucks 100 pages of regrets, resentment, and anguish in the trash. He is ready to forgive and move on.I like the message here.The formatting is a little questionable. The title belongs on the title page. The End instead of Fade Out. More than a few ing verbs in the action. All caps in the action.I did appreciate that you didn't resort to a sappy deathbed scene and you let us fill in the details on our own. Overall I thought it was GOOD.
Elias Farnum (Level 5)
The dream sequence was a great hook to a family father son bonding drama. Written at the champion caliber that this contest demands. The visuals were vivid, and the dialogue was candid, and real. Some of the short library scenes didn't move the story to me, and I wondered why they were there.This story will resound with many, I am sure. I hope it gets filmed. Good work, good job, and good luck. Clever use of title, and contest instructions.
Faith Friese Nelson (Level 5)
The story's action really caught my attention on page one but, after the dream sequence, it fell flat for a while. I think the library scene on page two can be deleted. The reason for the scene is so James can get his phone call. Consider having the phone call wake him up from the dream sequence. In my opinion, much of the conversation between Maureen and James on page three could be deleted. It feels too much like back story. All the reader needs to know is that James and his father were on the outs. The story picks up, again, at the pawn store.As to the writing, remember that less is more. Here are some examples to illustrate what I mean:1: "James glares down at his father, jaw clenching." The following says the same thing with less words: "James glares at his father." 2: "His father starts to laugh." Consider: "His father laughs." 3: "James lies in bed, curled on his side in a tangle of sheets, just waking." Consider: "James wakes, tangled in bed sheets."
Fred Koszewnik (Level 5)
It's so difficult to offer meaningful criticism when your screenplay is written in such an intelligent and engaging manner. I don't think screenwriting gets any better than this. Your script can only merit an Excellent. Continued good success.
Gary Rademan (Level 5)
"Not enough action for a movie" "occupation poet"A tense beginning that morphed into a thoughtful ending. I think it was a what-was-that? ending that grows on you after the read is over. Probably like that in a film too. His sister was okay. If she could have had an attitude, that may have helped add weight to her dialogue. The final couplet that he kept was cryptic but maybe that's poetry.Little Jimmy, you grow a pair yet?! My favorite line so far.GOOD
Greg Tonnon (Level 5)
Title - the title is intriguing; it sets the tone well. Craft - your craft is flawless. Dialogue - the dialogue is good; it seems quite natural and realistic for these characters. Action lines - your action lines are good; clear and concise. Story - the story is interesting. It reminds me a little of "The Shining".
James Hughes (Level 5)
I feel like I have to reflect on this one for a bit which is cool. I liked reading it. I liked the experience of it. When done, I'm not sure what his reason was for keeping this poetic journal, what the meaning is of that last entry, or why he'd throw out the rest but keep the one page. That is what I want to reflect upon.
JeanPierre Chapoteau (Moderator)
I understood the story, (well, up until he end) but it seemed scattered. I didn't understand the tone you wanted to set. When he started crying at the end, it shocked me. The dialogue between his sister felt forced. Like it was there just to tell us what his plans were. And the whole gun thing... why would he think that was a good idea? To shoot his dad? That's going to be loud and messy. Why not suffocate him? Or choke him? He's a skeleton, he couldn't fight back, and it would have been more personal. Why did he go to the library? I didn't get that scene. What was he looking at and underlining? I wasn't sure why you told us his poem, or why he saw his father at the end either. Just seemed random. I guess I didn't understand more than I thought. I'll try and give it another read if I have the time at the end of the month.
Jeremy Rose (Level 2)
I think "A Doorway Whispers" is a very incomplete and very unsatisfying script. The writer gives us no details of james' and his fathers past.If what James read to Maurine on the phone at the end of the story is considered a poem then I have an entire notebook of my own personally writing that needs to be thrown in the trash also.This script leaves me feeling empty and cconfused. In my opinion, this script does not belong in this competition.
Khamanna Iskandarova (Level 5)
I really liked the way it started - thought it would be about his father and Jimmy - "did you grow a pair" is a very strong line, I loved the dream sequence. It switched gears though - it's more about Jimmy and his poetry. I still liked it a lot but I wish it was either one or the other.
Kirk White (Level 5)
I'm not sure what to make of this one. I get the tone and, more importantly, FEEL what (I think) I'm supposed to feel from this. So on that hand, you've crafted a really powerful and moving exploration of loss and missed opportunities and all that other stuff that comes from missed connections. But, on the other hand, something about this script just doesn't resolve for me in a satisfying way. I found myself wanting more of the notebook and the struggle and less of him in the Library. I'm thinking this might be a page limitation thing but I just found myself wanting MORE with James.
KP Mackie (Level 5)
Unexpected and interesting turns from the beginning. Glued to the page. Particularly surprised by James' sudden appearance in the pawn shop with a gun, in the middle of the story not the end. Intriguing twist.James comes across as a sensitive writer. His valuable "worn spiral notebook" is suddenly discarded when inspiration strikes. Terrific exchange with his sister Maureen. He asks her, "Wanna hear my new poem?" and she responds, "Uh, okay." Speaks volumes about their individual personalities. This story would make a terrific independent film. Excellent.
Kyle Patrick Johnson (Level 5)
The pivotal poem at the end of the script confuses me slightly. It's not written in couplet form, even though he said he's been writing couplets for years. Also, it's a bit obtuse at first glance, although the meaning is clearer on a second read. Lastly, the couplet is going to have to be the best couplet you could possibly write, because the whole story seems to pivot on the fact that Jimmy is actually a good poet. The danger here is if the audience doesn't like the couplet, then the film will fall a little flat. I personally found the poem a bit self-indulgent and, as I said, confusing, and it's tough to see why Maureen likes it.The final action of throwing away the notebook is a bit of resolution, but it's not entirely satisfying, because the tension was between Jimmy and his father, not Jimmy and his notebook. I would have preferred a human resolution, I think.
Lee Carlisle (Level 4)
I felt like some of the pieces here weren't quite fitting together, but I still wound up enjoying the story overall. The writing style was easy to follow and kept the script moving at a good pace. Nice repetition and variation with the two hospital scenes. After James' father dies, though, the piece lost some direction for me. Buying that James would kill his father in a dream is no problem, but to see that he actual had a gun and was debating doing it didn't really land for me without any kind of framing for why he would feel this way (the fact that his dad didnt approve of him being a poet didnt seem strong enough for me). The ending was also a clunky way to get James' poetry out. I didnt get the impression that he and Maureen had a really close relationship, so when he offered to read her his poem and she responds "Uh, okay" I found myself feeling the same way. The poem also failed to transcend the story for me - it didn't really show me any of the characters or plot in a new light. If anything, I felt like James' character arc could be more strongly wrapped up without us ever seeing what he finally wrote in his journal. But as I said before, despite some shortcomings I still enjoyed the piece overall and thought it had a nice unifying tone.
Margaret Ricke (Level 5)
I love the title. Absolutely and completely.The story is so creepy good I can hardly stand it. The subtext is incredibly powerful and screams out at the reader.The formatting, spelling and punctuation are all perfect. If there were any problems, the quality of the story and the writing blinded me to them.I would love to see this filmed and I hope someone picks it up for you, or you produce it yourself.
Martin Jensen (Level 5)
This was interesting. I like how, from the first scene where I was expecting a melodrama, you constantly subvert expectations. Excellent.
Martin Lancaster (Level 4)
Another big story told skillfully in five pages. I love how you peel back the layers of the character and his relationship with his father without resorting to lots of exposition.Great story.
Michael Cornetto (Level 5)
That was different. I liked it. Nothing to complain about as far as the writing went. A few phrases felt awkward but that's probably a matter of personal taste. The main issue I had with this is that it was solidly good. It never really lifted me beyond that. It didn't stir my emotions, or make me think all that much. It was what it was which was a good script. Fairly easy to produce too. Good luck with it.
MJ Hermanny (Level 5)
I love the title.This has a cracking pace to it and reads very smoothly.Even though the 'it's only a dream' sequence is so tired it sets up James' hate for his father well - is there not another way you could have done this?I'm not sure what releases James - why the ijmage of his father gives him the words ' a doorway whispers' - is he about to kill himself?Although I didn't fully understand this, I liked it.
Olga Tremaine (Level 5)
I like the title.Does the father have a name?You introduce Maureen as his sister, but how does this type of introduction translate on screen? Honestly, the pawn shop scene seems unnecessary, I understand you wanted him to come up with a poem, but that could happen in million different ways/locations. It's a nice little story, but seems you had too many locations, feels a little scattered. Maybe just me.Good luck.
Paul Williams (Level 5)
Congratulations on your eligibility to enter this contest.I really like your title and the themes explored here; they're identifiable and universal. I also appreciate the bittersweet, yet hopeful, ending.I think, ultimately, the obstruction to the script's effectiveness is the familiarity of these themes and the scenes presented. We've seen a lot of this before: a traumatic scene that proves to be only a dream; our protagonist awaking in the morning from that nightmare; death-bed encounters; daytime visions of the deceased; etc. I feel a new angle, spin, interpretation, dimension, etc., should be incorporated to maximize the story's potential.Your screenwriting is very good; format appears in order; didn't detect any typos.Good.
Philip Whitcroft (Level 5)
This is a very effective story that has some eye catching elements and a good poignant pay-off.
Raymond Kwok (Level 3)
I thought this was great. The psychology, the father/son relationship, the frustration: all captured extremely well in such a short space. The use of the key terms "movie" and "poet" fit very well in the context.My only complaint is the "ghost"? of the father at the end and how he manages to excorcize it (if that is the right term) by writing the last part of his poem. This introduces a whole new concept of writing being able to somehow influence reality. If that were the case, then why didn't he just do it earlier? But all in all, well structured and beautifulyl written.
Reginald McGhee (Level 0)
What is going on here? Jimmy wants his dad killed? I haven't notice any grammar or formatting errors. So the story is about a Poet writer whose father died, and the poet cannot stand him. I don't quite understand the story though, and I'm not sure what the payoff is. Is the father a ghost, or is he writing about his father? Why couldn't he stand his father? A lot of unanswered questions need to be answered. Your scene transitions run smoothly. You also captured my attention until the end. I just don't quite understand the ending. The characters are fine, but not developed fully. I still wanted to learn more about James and his father. I found it hard to engage with him and identify him. Your dialogue is real, and the decrption lines are visual. If only the ending was strong, if it had an alternative ending, or if the above quesations were answered, the story will turn out stronger. I'm not sure what the dialogue "You grow a pair?" What does that supposed to mean? Is he afraid of his father? Is that the surprise ending? If that is, why was he afraid of his dad?This story as a full begnning, middle, and an ending, and you have enough meat to fufill the needs of a five-page story. Nice work.Everything else looks fine. The writing is good.
Rick Hansberry (Moderator)
A few others will comment not to put the title at the top of the page. Not a big deal. The opening is nice - felt dreamlike and works to show the way James plays things out in his mind - what doesn't work for me is the 'grow a pair yet?' line. It rings of an expectation from his father that's not explained.I thought it would be better to show Maureen before we meet her at the deathbed. Maybe James imagines his father being happy with her life choices? For me the script came off the rails with the pawn shop guy. I didn't quite know why you chose to show that scene versus giving more of a background of the struggle between James and his father. Show us how they've been at each other for all these years - never really coming to terms with things.Maureen doesn't really factor much into the story other than as a springboard for James and I think she needs to play a factor somehow.Others will comment not to close a screenplay with 'The End' but use 'Fade Out' instead. Again, it's not major, some choose to focus more on technique and style rather than storytelling. It is worth noting though that screenplay contests often use minor elements like this as a sign that you're not completely aware of the nuances of the craft. I see this as a piece that can be re-worked and fleshed out to create a quality drama. I don't think it's there yet but I think you have a unique voice and can build from this.
Rustom Irani (Moderator)
This is a well-written coming-of-age drama but I feel a bit letdown after the amazing initial set-up.I would've loved atleast one direct confrontation of sorts and am not sure why did his sister not help him in the past despite knowing what he was going through? A little more hint of why his dad hated him being a Poet would work much stronger since it's really troubling him to the extent of being tormented all his life.You've got some great style and the writing is well-paced.All this needs is a quicker re-write and this'd be really good.
Sally Meyer (Moderator)
Another really well done script. I enjoyed it. The first scene was a really great set up. I wish we could have seen the pay off. With his father dying,before he got to the hospital you kind of missed out on there being a great pay off to that scene. I did like this alot. It was well written and the characters were strong. You had a really great opener,that would definitely get everyone's attention!good work.
Scott Merrow (Level 5)
The writing is good. It's easy to read, and it moves right along.But I didn't quite get the story -- it was a little too deep and abstruse for me.I know it's about James and his complicated, strained relationship with his father, but too much was hidden from us. Most of what we (the readers) learn comes from (1) a dream, (2) a couple discussions with his sister, and (3) things he says to a pawn broker. From those three things, we learn that he has a complex relationship with his father that's (probably) been haunting him for his entire life, and he may or may not have been intending to murder his father (in real life). Then he sees a vision of his dead father and (I guess) realizes his torment is over, so he throws his poetry away. (Not much reason to keep the anguished poetry when the source of the anguish goes away.)But through all this what do we know about James? Not much. What do we know about the relationship with his father? Not much. The dream tells us most of what we think we know. His father taunts him. (Is that a reason to want to kill someone? No, so there must be something else.) Nothing much is revealed in his conversation with his sister. So how can we be invested in James? What should we feel? Are we glad that he's free from his tortured relationship? Not really. We don't know enough about any of this.This has lots of potential, but James and his story are a little too cryptic as written. (At least for me.)But it's nice clear writing. Great job with that.My Score: Good.
Tim Ratcliffe (Level 4)
Not a fan of having the title on the first page of the script or having 'The End' in place of 'Fade Out'. The story was written competently enough but it was a little lacking for me. I think because we don't know what the backstory is between the father and son the emotional element here doesn't really connect. I had no idea why he wanted to kill his father, other than he may have been tough on him growing up. I need more than just that, though.Don't really know what the point of the journal was, it sounds like he was trying to come up with something perfect to show his dad. If that's the case, I don't understand why. Didn't seem like that was the sort of thing that would lead to his father's love and approaval. So it just confused me.Good effort anyway.
William Bienes (Mod Emeritus)
I thought this was a solid entry... though I can't shake the feeling that I wanted something more from it.

OMAHA, Neb.-- Ballantyne Strong, Inc. (NYSE Amex: BTN), a provider of digital cinema projection equipment and services, cinema screens and other cinema products, announced today that it will provide 66 NEC Digital Cinema projection systems with RealD 3D technology to National Amusements, Inc. (39 systems) and Marcus Theatres Corporation, a division of The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS) (27 systems). With each projector Ballantyne Strong will also provide high-gain 'silver' screens required for 3D projection, and its service group will install over half of the projection systems. The installations are expected to be completed in the first and second quarters of calendar 2010.
Funding for the projectors was completed via Digital Link II, LLC (Digital Link II), an entity formed by RealD and Ballantyne in which Ballantyne has a 44% stake. NEC Finance provided debt financing to Digital Link II to fund the projector deployment. Ballantyne and RealD each provide guarantees for the debt based on their respective ownership in Digital Link II. The cinema screen sales are outside of the Digital Link II facility.
John P. Wilmers, Ballantyne's CEO, commented, "We are pleased to again team with RealD to expand the digital and 3D footprints of these important, long-term customers. It is particularly gratifying given these exhibitors' satisfaction with systems we have previously provided to them. The patron appeal and box office benefits of digital cinema and RealD 3D technology have been well demonstrated throughout the exhibition industry, driving demand for additional systems to take advantage of the growing slate of 3D releases."

Ask your child if she has any jitters or worries about her first day of school, and how you can help. Talking about her anxiety and allowing her to express her fears openly may be enough to calm her down. Help your child come up with a game plan to deal with any situations that may seem stressful to her, and let her know she can always go to her teacher for help.
It is also acceptable to allow your child to be a little clingy the first few days back to school. Children need their parents to help them make a smooth transition, so if she wants you to walk her into the classroom for the first week, go ahead and do it. Gradually encourage your child to feel comfortable going it alone.

Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas

Just perfect
August 20, 2014
My brother and I took our families (so two couples and four little girls) and rented the house for five days. IT WAS PERFECT. from the pickup at the airport to our return everything was wonderful. The house is better than it 'reads' online. Spacious, airy, clean, beautiful. Having the water right in front of the house was great. the girls flew kites in the yard. We even threw a surprise wedding for my sister in law who had never had one and the coconut trees made the pictures turn out great.we loved everything about our experience. The driver is a great ambassador for the island. He was the most punctual person ive ever met. I'd come back many, many times over. thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Great Place and Friendly Folks
March 16, 2013
We had a great time at the cottage, we (a group of six friends) just returned. We had a mixture of relaxation and fun. Martina is unbelievably friendly and gracious, always willing to help. We also didn't rent a car, but Martina put is in touch with Mr. Darling who was always willing to drive us where we needed to go (never more than $40). The backyard is where we spent most of our time and it was great. Kitchen is functional to make meals and Martina is always forthcoming with restaurant selections. All in all I would return.

Just what we needed!
September 17, 2010
My husband, parents in law and I had a great 4 day weekend in Nassau with this cottage as our home base. Martina, the owner, couldnt have been any more helpful or a better hostess. She helped me in the pre-planning stages, sending maps, directions, helpful hints and even locating two catholic churches and mass times for us. The property itself has been well taken care of and is spotlessly clean. It's located in a residental neighborhood, so you will have to drive or take a bus to town to go to restaurants. There is a nice grocery about one mile away. We bought steaks and cooked on the grill one night. All in all, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this property.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand. | 19 When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand. |
20 Then she said , I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay . And the king said unto her, Ask on , my mother: for I will not say thee nay . | 20 "I have one small request to make of you," she said. "Do not refuse me." The king replied, "Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you." |
21 And she said , Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. | 21 So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah." |
22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. | 22 King Solomon answered his mother, "Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him--after all, he is my older brother--yes, for him and for Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah!" |
23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying , God do so to me, and more also , if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life. | 23 Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: "May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request! |
24 Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised , Adonijah shall be put to death this day. | 24 And now, as surely as the LORD lives--he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised--Adonijah shall be put to death today!" |
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died . | 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died. |

Yes, one acorn. I have just a handful of wonderful plump acorns that I collected from a special tree blown down by a wind storm. How do I preserve them? With that poly spray? The caps have come off - what to glue them with?
THEN, I am making a gift of one each to two people who were also sentimental about the tree. Other than just hand it to them....I need ideas of some presentation. I imagine it will be sitting on their desk at work. Tree is gone, nothing left no more acorns or leaves. Thank you in advance.
Follow-Up Postings:
Any seed type things I usually put in 200 degree oven for few minutes-kills any bugs inside the acorns,do it with pinecones,any kind of seed pods,even old nuts that I'm going to spray paint. I used to make small wall plaques of natural things. Don't know how large they are but could get about 3 in round plaques from Michael's & stain & attach. I think hot glue would work for reattaching cap to acorn & for attaching to plaque. then spray the whole thing with clear acrylic. Date & name kind of tree or address where tree was on bottom. Could use as paperweight I guess. I have 2 3x5 long plaques hanging up in my house with dried acorns, a flower look hard pod from neighbor's tree, tiny pinecone looking things about 1/2- 3/4 in. long & couple of other things. They look like they are expensive but weren't. Used med. stain to match furniture in the room, fruitwood I think & sprayed the whole thing with clear acrylic. They look same as day I did them. I wipe the dried parts carefully with damp cloth,furniture polish on the wood. Hope this helps. Jan |

A friend of mine is painting acorns to look like snowmen, she made necklaces out of them. Don't know anything about preserving them though. B |

Sunnyca thanks for your thoughts. This helps me. It is pretty crazy to try to something with one acorn isn't it?? Wish I could have gathered more. These are food for thought!! Scat |

Check out this blog. There are a few cute things with acorns that may give you an idea. I think a small ornament based on something like the necklace at the bottom of the page might be a nice way to display it. You could attach some sort of hangtag with a poem or rememberence on it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Acorns
After looking at size of most of those acorns Adellabedella listed site for, they are really small. I was thinking of large ones like some of trees out here have. The caps are about 2 in. across. If they are tiny sure won't fill up much space!! Maybe you could get a small glass domed stand & hang from little wire stand inside. Like dolls are sometimes placed in. Jan |

Home › About TU › News, Events and Publications › University News › Message Regarding Swine Flu
Monday, April 27, 2009
Health organizations including the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have raised an alert about the outbreak of swine flu, which includes confirmed cases in our neighboring states of Texas and Kansas. Health officials are extremely worried about the rapid spread of this illness through person-to-person contact.
I am writing to you today to let you know that TU already has engaged its Pandemic Influenza Plan to prepare for possible expansion of the illness to our local communities, while also protecting the health and safety of our campus. TU officials are closely monitoring the situation and we are working with local and state health officials to stay current regarding the latest developments.
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to contact either their family physician or the Alexander Health Center at TU if they develop flu symptoms, which include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. To prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza, it is important that all members of the campus community rigorously follow good hygiene practices.
For your convenience, TU health officials have collected some helpful resources and reminders at the bottom of this message. I encourage each of you to take a moment to review the material. Each of us has a responsibility to remain vigilant about the spread of this illness so that we may safeguard the health and safety of our campus.
--Steadman Upham, PresidentThe University of Tulsa

Elijah fed by ravens - Washington Allston
My God, is not in the wind
that cuts and shatters the rock.
Neither is He in the earthquake,
a brutal and destructive force
designed to compromise and destroy
a firm foundation.
When the fire comes
to scorch and wound,
He will not be found there either
My God is a still small voice
That tells me to stand ...
To stand still,
and see His wonderful salvation.
To stand fast in the faith,
and be strong.
I am not called to fight
but to stand,
and He has given me the necessary armour
to withstand, the evil one.
So, while the battle rages
and the earth beneath my feet gives way,
stand I will,
Not in my own strength,
for I am feeble, weak and frail
but in His power and might,
And on this lonely Mountain top,
I will see His Salvation

Seeing the images from Haiti this week is difficult. Broken buildings, corpses lining the streets, a child half buried by rubble but still alive - all of these realities are too much to take in. Just how many people have perished is still unknown, but what kind of future can there be for a people and a land already impoverished. There have been many mission trips from multiple U.S. churches, including my own, to Haiti in the past few years. There are more micro-development projects in Haiti by non governmental agencies than in any other country. Yet, has any of this helped?
This New York Times columnist speaks of the need to change the culture, raise the expectations and get the country in gear. Here is an excerpt:
The Underlying Tragedy
By David Brooks
Fourth, it's time to promote locally led paternalism. In this country, we first tried to tackle poverty by throwing money at it, just as we did abroad. Then we tried micro community efforts, just as we did abroad. But the programs that really work involve intrusive paternalism.
These programs, like the Harlem Children's Zone and the No Excuses schools, are led by people who figure they don't understand all the factors that have contributed to poverty, but they don't care. They are going to replace parts of the local culture with a highly demanding, highly intensive culture of achievement — involving everything from new child-rearing practices to stricter schools to better job performance.
It's time to take that approach abroad, too. It's time to find self-confident local leaders who will create No Excuses countercultures in places like Haiti, surrounding people — maybe just in a neighborhood or a school — with middle-class assumptions, an achievement ethos and tough, measurable demands.
The late political scientist Samuel P. Huntington used to acknowledge that cultural change is hard, but cultures do change after major traumas. This earthquake is certainly a trauma. The only question is whether the outside world continues with the same old, same old.
California winemakers have a new sustainability standard. Does their model have any lessons for fresh produce marketers? Here is a link to a treehugger.com story about the certification effort. Note the lead of the story says: "Finding sustainably produced California wine is about to get a whole lot easier." Yet, later in the story, it is noted that there is no label planned for the certification. So, will it be easier or won't it? This is the essential dilemma: whether or not to succumb to the urge to use sustainability (or food safety) attributes in marketing to consumers.

1961 John Battison Editorial Sets Plan for Creation of Society of Broadcast Engineers
In the December 1961 issue of Broadcast Engineering, John Battison, then the editor, wrote of his dismay that while the focus the Institute of Radio Engineers was important, that focus had shifted away from the needs and interests of the regular station engineer. He cited the proceedings from a recent convention were too sophisticated for station engineers. He proposed forming a new group to serve the needs of the station engineer, and the seeds of what would become the Society of Broadcast Engineers were sewn.
This is Battison's article from that issue. Broadcast Engineering has graciously allowed us to reprint this in its entirety for its historical value.
The Engineer's Cue Line
Engineers' Symposium
By John Battison
The Eleventh Annual Broadcast Symposium of the Professional Group on Broadcasting of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) has just been held in Washington, DC. Approximately 300 top engineers attended from all over the country. As a result, many good ideas and new concepts were exchanged.
When the IRE was first founded it was composed mainly of radio men, engineers and technicians, who were actively engaged in the art and science of communications per se, which ultimately led to radio and television broadcasting as we know it today. But in the many years that have passed since IRE's birthday the picture has changed, and today radio broadcasting plays a very minor part in the activities of the Institute. The steering committee of the IRE became cognizant of this, and some years ago in an effort to retain members whose interests were broadcast engineering only, formed the Professional Group on Broadcasting. This is now one of nearly 20 other so-called professional groups of the IRE. But even with this sop to the original aims and composition of the IRE, more and more broadcasters are not finding what they want in the IRE. The Proceedings is far too sophisticated for the average radio engineer, and even for the many of the engineers who hold higher degrees. So what is left for the station man? The irregularly produced issues of the papers of the various Professional Group meetings! These fill a very small part of the vacuum left by the lack of broadcast meat in the IRE menu.
Possibly a new institute is needed for broadcast engineers, one started in just the same way as the IRE was originally? Perhaps it should be called the IBE, Institue of Broadcast Engineers, and be presided over by one of the great broadcast engineers of a few years ago? How many years is it since a broadcast engineer was president of the IRE?
We leave you that thought this month. Your comments addressed to the Editor will be welcome.

Now we know the true origin of Batman's Catwoman.
If you are interested, google the term "string figures, shamanism" and you will see that cats cradle and its variants can be found throughout much of the world (which means that warecats can be found throughout much of the world. Better carry some catnip with you in case you run into a warecat some dark night) - 9/28/2012
Cool! I have the reprint of this one and it definitely looks better in black and white. Kirby rules!!

One thing that's great about the Yoe books and the one you did with Yoe, Kars, is the reprints from the original art. I don't know if it's the scanning method, but this looks like it was recreated from the color art. I know it's few and far between, but reprints from the pencil or inked art are usually great treasures.
So many things got lost from printing on poor paper, not even talking about the coloring. - 9/29/2012

Most of the mag reprints probably come from the original color versions, it's doubtful any of those minor pubs had access to the original b/w art... thanks for the comments!

This article was featured in the Carnival Of Personal Finance: First Week Of Fall Edition.
When your spouse has a bad credit score it affects you too! It can hurt your chances of qualifying for a mortgage together and it can even have an impact on whether your spouse gets a job. Credit scores are serious business these days and a bad score has the ability really hurt your financial stability. The good news is a bad credit score can be improved. With both of you working towards improving the score you've got an excellent chance of turning things around. Here are some ways you can help your spouse improve their credit score.
[unordered_list style="tick"]
- Check Their Credit Score: First things first, check their credit score! Before you can help improve their credit you must have a clear picture as to what is affecting their credit score. I use Credit Karma to check my score because it's free and it's easy to use. Be sure to address any accounts that may be in default first. You should also pull their credit report and check for inaccuracies. This is free too when you use Annual Credit Report.com.
- Get Them A Credit Card: Credit cards are a great way to improve credit or build credit. The reason is because the account activity is reported to the credit bureaus each month. This means your good habits will be reflected right away. If your partner can't qualify for a traditional credit card then go for a secured credit card. Secured cards are designed specifically for those with bad or no credit as a way to establish a good credit history. Whether your spouse is approved for a traditional or secured card it is imperative that they manage the account responsibly. Credit cards are a great credit building tool, but if not managed correctly can also destroy a credit score.
- Add Them As An Authorized User: One way to quickly improve your spouses credit score is to add them to a credit card account an authorized user. If you have a credit card account with an excellent credit history your spouse can reap the benefits too. By adding them onto your account as an authorized user, your excellent payment history becomes their excellent payment history too. This is a quick way to give a boost to their credit score, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The first is that if their credit score is really bad then this isn't going to miraculously give them a good credit score, but this will help. Second, you only want to add them to an account that has a perfect history. Don't add them to an account that has late payments or has been maxed out. Doing so could end up hurting their credit, not improving it.
- Pay Down Any Credit Cards: Credit cards are like a double edged sword. On one hand they can help your credit and on the other they can hurt your credit. One of the best and fastest ways to improve your credit score is to pay down your credit cards. Just because your card has a credit limit of $1,000 doesn't mean you should use it all up. As a matter of fact, it is recommend to not have a balance greater than 30% of your available limit. This means you should charge no more than $300 on a card with a $1,000 limit. Get all credit cards under the 30% mark and you will see the credit score go up.
- Co-Sign On A Loan: A portion of your credit score has to do with having different types of credit. This means you should not just have credit cards, but different types of credit. For example, having a variety of types of accounts like Credit Cards, Car Loans, Mortgages and Consumer Finance Accounts will help your credit score. If your spouse can't get a loan in their own name then consider co-signing to help them secure the loan.
- Make All Payments On Time: Payment history is perhaps the single most important piece of the credit score puzzle. Late payments have the power to hurt your credit score for years to come which is why it's so important to be on time with your payments.
It's easy to get discouraged when you or your spouse has credit score that has seen it's better days. By teaming up together, you can help each other stay motivated and disciplined. Like the saying goes, "two heads are better than one", even when it comes to your credit score!

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Jehovah said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul [would] not [turn] toward this people. Send [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth. | 1 Then the LORD said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! |
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity. | 2 And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.' |
3 For I will visit them with four kinds [of punishments], saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy. | 3 "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," declares the LORD, "the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. |
4 And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. | 4 I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem. |
5 For who shall have pity upon thee, Jerusalem? and who shall bemoan thee? and who shall turn aside to ask after thy welfare? | 5 "Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask how you are? |
6 Thou hast cast me off, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward; and I have stretched out my hand against thee, and will destroy thee: I am become weary of repenting. | 6 You have rejected me," declares the LORD. "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion. |
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children [and] destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways. | 7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. |
8 Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly. | 8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror. |
9 She that hath borne seven languisheth, she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it is yet day; she is put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah. | 9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the LORD. |
10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me. | 10 Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth, a man with whom the whole land strives and contends! I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me. |
11 Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for [thy] good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. | 11 The LORD said, "Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will make your enemies plead with you in times of disaster and times of distress. |
12 Will iron break? iron from the north? and bronze? | 12 "Can a man break iron-- iron from the north--or bronze? |
13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, and in all thy borders; | 13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country. |
14 and I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it shall burn upon you. | 14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you." |
15 Jehovah, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; in thy long-suffering take me not away: know that for thy sake I bear reproach. | 15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering--do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake. |
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts. | 16 When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty. |
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor exulted: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation. | 17 I never sat in the company of revelers, never made merry with them; I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation. |
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? It refuseth to be healed. Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a treacherous [spring], [as] waters that fail? | 18 Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? Will you be to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails? |
19 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: If thou return, then will I bring thee again, thou shalt stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. Let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. | 19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: "If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them. |
20 And I will make thee unto this people a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah; | 20 I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you," declares the LORD. |
21 yea, I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. | 21 "I will save you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the cruel." |

We installed 26 Marvin Aluminum Clad Wood Ultimate Insert windows in unflashed rough openings, according to Marvin instructions. Windows have flashing at top overlapping trim. We have been getting water infiltration through walls underneath bottom corners of windows. Outer exterior caulking appears to be okay. They used foam backer rod with thin layer of Titebond Weathermaster Sealant over it to caulk the perimeter. I removed interior window stop, stuck my hand into weight pocket chamber where they shoved in fiberglass insulation. The wood is wet in there...as a run my hand as high as I can reach it into the chamber, I can feel that the wood is saturated, the entire back of outside trim board and along both sides, where seams are caulked on outside of house and perimeter of window. Could this be condensation that's trapped and can't get out? OR, is seal failing somehow on the outside and I can't see it? Sealant was applied cold time of year, and was exposed to heavy rain shortly after application. Also, it's a pretty thin layer of sealant. I am really worried about rot and mold. The windows were installed only 5 months ago. If seal is good, could condensation build up that much moisture? Or...they also caulked bottom of sill so wind driven rain could not penetrate. Are there weep holes here that should not have been closed in? |

Condensation/Humidity could easily be responsible for that much moisture. I would have someone who is qualified to diagnose these type of issues look at the home. What is the exterior of the come clad in? What type of flashing was used? Drip edge? |

Disney Exec Talks Trends, Opportunities and Challenge
By Bob Wallace
Posted on: 04/19/2007
A top business of technology executive from the Walt Disney Co. shared the entertainment giants take on what viewing habits and other opportunities he believes the industry should act on to better serve video-hungry consumers.
Like other content owners speaking at the National Association of Broadcasters show this week, Disney is driving to provide much more than traditional TV programming via IP services and believes the more options consumers are given, the better off both groups will eventually be.

King will be an asset - Clingan
Midfielder Sammy Clingan believes the signing of Marlon King can take Coventry to the next level.Former Watford striker King, who was recently released from prison, completed his move to the Ricoh Arena on Monday.After seeing King perform in training for the first time, Clingan feels he is the complete player and can benefit the team."King is coming in and the players are excited about him joining us because when I saw him in training I thought `oh my god what a player'," Clingan told the Coventry Telegraph."He's got everything. As a striker he can shoot, he can finish, he's got power, he can hold the ball up and he's got pace to get in behind."The manager knows him well and knows what he is all about, so all is looking good for us and it is great to have him."

Inside Cool River's vast, dark-paneled saloon, the service is attentive. Maybe it's the crackerjack staff, maybe it's Mr. Deep Pockets and his reputation as a generous tipper. Maybe it's the car. In any case, Deep has hardly unwrapped his cigar (a genuine Bolivar from Havana, $450 a box in Canada, accept no substitutes) when a waitress is at his elbow, offering a light.
When the first match fails, she fires up the entire pack. Deep laughs and ignites his stogie from the proffered blaze, drawing glances from the stockbrokers shooting nine-ball, the developers murmuring into cell phones, the white guy at the bar in the Kangol hat, trying to do the Samuel L. Jackson thing. Deep pays for the drinks with Mr. Franklin, collects his change and tosses Mr. Jackson -- Andrew, not Samuel L. -- to the little pyromaniac as a tip.
Deep puffs contentedly on his Bolivar.
"This is what happens," he says, "when you drive a Bentley."
He had a small but comfortable flat off the King's Road, an elderly Scottish housekeeper -- a treasure called May -- and a 1930 4.5-litre Bentley coupe, supercharged, which he kept expertly tuned so that he could do a hundred when he wanted to.
On these things he spent all his money, and it was his ambition to have as little as possible in his banking account when he was killed, as, when he was depressed he knew he would be, before the statutory age of forty-five.
-- Ian Fleming, Moonraker
The Bentley mystique owes something to auto-racing lore and a great deal more to the parent company's efforts to market its "lineage" -- which, like all British mythmaking, turns out to be part history, part fancy. Curiously, one of the car's greatest enthusiasts is a fictional spy whom most people associate with an entirely different set of wheels.
Company founder Walter Owen Bentley developed his namesake car as a racing machine. During the 1920s, Bentleys dominated the 24-hour race at Le Mans; over a span of seven years, the "Bentley Boys" finished first five times, a record that wasn't equaled until the 1950s (by Jaguar) and not surpassed until the 1960s (Ferrari). W.O. Bentley knew how to build fast cars, but alas, he had no gift for selling them. In 1931 the company fell into receivership and was taken over by Rolls-Royce, setting up a tangled sibling rivalry that persists to this day.
Shortly before the change of ownership, a young journalist named Ian Fleming covered the 1930 race at Le Mans and watched the Bentley team carry the day. He never forgot it. Two decades later, he put his creation, James Bond, behind the wheel of a 1930 Bentley, figuring that Agent 007 would settle for nothing less than the most elegant muscle car on the road. The choice of model year was significant; Fleming didn't like what happened to Bentleys once Charles Rolls and Henry Royce got their hands on the franchise. Bond lamented that they'd become "sedate town carriages."
When Bond's vintage coupe succumbed to the carnage of his spy missions, Fleming outfitted him with a later model, a 1953 Mark VI. But halfway through the series, Bond got stuck with a tricked-up Aston Martin DB3 from the motor pool, which became a DB5 in the fabulous film version of Goldfinger. Thanks to the power of the movies, the specially outfitted Aston Martin soon became known as the Bond car. A Bentley makes a brief appearance in From Russia With Love, as well as in the off-brand 007 films Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again, but they have none of the pizzazz of the DB5 or the earlier Bentleys of the novels.
But then, the Bentley didn't have much cachet in post-war England, let alone in America. Back in the 1930s, "the car was way ahead of its time -- very fast and quiet," notes Bentley dealer Watkin. "It was known as the 'silent sports car.' But from the end of the war until 1985, Bentleys were basically debadged Rolls-Royces. There were a few differences, a few special cars, but they were pretty much the same."
Then management had an inspiration. Why not take that big old Bentley engine and bolt a turbocharger to it? "That upped the horsepower considerably," Watkin says. "The spirit of Bentley came back to life."
At first available only in Europe, the souped-up Bentley was an immediate success. Other refinements followed, and the brand began to establish its own identity again. Twenty years ago Bentleys accounted for less than 5 percent of the sales of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars Inc. Now they're responsible for more than half of the company's revenues.
Today, though, neither car is an entirely British product. In recent years, RR&B has embarked on a fruitful collaboration with other European manufacturers; when the Arnage Green Label was introduced in 1998, for example, it came with a BMW engine. The deals led to merger talks and a fierce bidding war for RR&B between BMW and Volkswagen. Volkswagen won the war in 1998 but wound up agreeing to divide the spoils. The result is that Bentleys will continue to be manufactured by Volkswagen at the existing plant in Crewe, England, but in 2003 the Rolls operation will be divested, taken over by BMW and moved elsewhere.

Hi All. So our shower stall is about 6 months old. The whitish grout is showing signs of darkening toward the bottom area of the stall wall. Almost looks like stains or mildew. Whatever it is, seems to be spreading. Cleaning with bleach seems to have no effect. It doesn't seem to be a stain simply on the surface.
Any ideas what it is or causing it? Don't think any shampoos are doing it. How might I go about cleaning it? Any heavy duty grout cleaners? I do not believe the grout is sealed. Pics: http://tinypic.com/r/2a8i0cm/3
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks like it needs a good cleaning with a brush. Any number of products will work; I prefer something like Softscrub with Bleach or Comet Spray Gel Mildew Stain Remover. The scrubbing action with a brush or scrubbie should do the trick. Ventilating the area with a small fan placed on the floor and blowing into the shower stall should help slow down future mold. |
Here is a link that might be useful: first pic
Hmm ok I'll try again. I have tried using a grout brush on it with bleach and barkeeper's friend. Can't seem to remove anything though. |
The bleach and barkeeper's friend should have taken care of it, as long as you gave the bleach some time to work on the mildew. Maybe try the Comet Gel - it has bleach in it and the gel should help it adhere to the grout. Spray it on and let it sit there for 5 minutes or so, but start scrubbing before it dries. Then rinse. |
Another thing you can do is mix a bleach and water solution in a spray bottle - maybe 3 parts water to 1 part bleach. Then spray it on the grout and leave it. By the next day, the grout should be white. Avoid overspray and drips on anything this strong bleach solution might damage, such as metal fixtures or a fiberglass tub. |
Clorox Bleach Pen is awesome for this. Leave it on a long time. If that doesn't work, there may be a crust of hard water deposit that prevents the bleach from penetrating and killing the mildew. If so, you have to remove that first, THEN kill the mildew. I SO hate my shower grout. |
It definitely requires an professional to clean grout as it is quite strong and using different products can lead to any bad impact on whole area.. |

I put in a beautiful Moabi hardwood floor and used a satin waterbased polyurethane but for whatever reason, maybe I didn`t stir the cans well enough, the satin is more like semi-gloss. It looks great but shows dirt, dust, streaks,etc way too much. Is there a way to chemically or physically dull the shine slightly without resanding and recoating? Maybe buffing it with a very, very light abrasive? |

Some old timers used to buff oil base gloss poly with steel wool to lessen the sheen. I do not see how you could keep the sheen level even as applying pressure evenly is very difficult. Then again if you have gone so far as to abrade it why not put on the right sheen level? |

But I just can't decide if I want sequins,
or something really traditional, but extraordinary.
Regardless, the shoes have got to be under three inches (for comfort and height restrictions). It's tempting to get carried away with all the beautiful designer shoes out there (like the manolo blahnik's above!), but even if I had the cash, I'm kind of against the principle of spending that much money on shoes. But they sure are pretty!
For now, I'm happy to just dream about my wedding shoes and the day that will come with them.
If you're married, what did you choose for The Wedding Shoe?

I have yet to pick shoes. I need to get on that….!!
I just got married in October and chose the Nina Brynn pump. A pretty shoe….traditional but fun at the same time. They were comfy and a reasonable price point!
I wore silver Kate Spade strappy sandals. They def were more than $100 (but not Manolo's!), but I have worn them so many times since to other weddings/dressy events. And unlike your wedding dress, it is totally socially acceptable to rewear. I strongly recommend Kate Spade, both for aesthetics and they are just really comfy, well made shoes.
Marcia Compton
Just make sure they are also comfortable,
NYC Fit GIrl
I really really like the last ones. They are so much fun!
I am not even engaged but had to pin that last pair. Can I ask where those are from or the brand?
You absolutely don't want to skimp on comfort though. Because your dress will be hemmed to the heel height, if you end up kicking them off, you will drag your dress around and become and expensive dust mop!!
I just got married in July, and our wedding colors were orange, yellow, and turquoise. My husband wore a turquoise tie (and turquoise socks!), so I went with turquoise heels to match: http://www.bhldn.com/product/curtsey-kitten-heels (they were on sale for 50% off when I bought them!). The kitten heel was perfect for our outdoor wedding, and I loved the pop of color. Good luck finding your wedding shoes!
I fell in love with a sexy pair of black lace Dolce & Gabbana heels, but couldn't stomach the $650 price tag. On a whim, I walked into the Guess? store & found a very similar pair for $60 (and they were way more comfortable…yes, I tried on the D&Gs). http://hardtales.blogspot.com/search/label/April%20Wedding%20in%20the%20Woods
I also wore sparkly pewter Toms down the aisle (which was actually a wooded trail)
Indulge a little!
Well, you can tell by yours and Kathy's tweets that the Gomi gals are hitting a nerve with you two. I'm sure they appreciate your pageview$ at the Gomi site.
I have no comment on wedding shoes but I went and looked at those forums you mentioned above (had no idea they existed) and oh my god, I have never seen anything more pathetic in my life. I can't believe there are people out there who are so sad that they have created an entire website dedicated to complaining about websites they don't like. Who would waste time and energy on something like that? Just cut it all out and don't read it… some people have too much time on their hands.
I like reading your blog and I don't think you're boring/pathetic/privileged white girl attitude. Which is why I read it.
whatever shoes you choose be sure they won't snag on your dress! I looked at a lot of cute shoes with glitter but they snagged on my dress hem.
I bought a pair of low-heel gold pumps and got a lot of use out of them. -
I second Miranda's comments above; I am a regular reader of your blog and Kaths and I am shocked and disturbed by this site for people to post purely negative drivel. I thought the saying was"if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"? I don't see why people would keep reading if they dislike it….
I hope you won't let this get you down-you should know you have supporters, even if we don't comment every time.
My daughter got married last May and wore these
She loved them. It's your wedding day, buy beautiful things <3 -
I wish your sister handled critics as well as you do. I think you have a great attitude as a blogger.
Agree with Katie. I think that is why an entire site has been devoted to venting about your sister. Any criticism, even it's a suggestion that something wasn't done right (and we all make mistakes. That's what make us REAL) never makes it through moderation. It's all the more frustrating because this is her livelihood. It's not just a blog for friends and family. It's her job and if she were in any other kind of job, she'd have to listen to criticism with an open mind and some grace. Okay, sorry, this is YOUR blog and I think your sister could learn from how you handled this. Anyway, I like your blog and best wishes on your marriage!
Emily @ www.main-eats.com
This is definitely an important one! I shopped EVERYWHERE trying to find the perfect shoe and ended up finding them at a little shop. I had a few requests: short heel (my husband isn't too tall), pretty, unique, and COMFORTABLE! I would never have ordered them online because I knew I would be wearing them all day and I definitely did. My shoes were a 2 inch heal, open toe, satin, and had rhinestones on them in a sunburst pattern. Kinda hard to explain but I just loved them!
I actually wore the white ones about the Manolo's!!! They were VERY comftorable!!!!
A different Sarah
I also just wanted to post a comment in case you need a boost I catch up on your blog once a week or so but haven't commented before- I found it when you were living in Boston. My bf and I live in Harvard Square and he's gotten hooked on the shrimp and crawfish quesadilla at Border Cafe which we tried after I saw you rave about it in a post! So you're famous in our apartment since every time we go there now we recommend it to others! I think you're very honest and relateable and I enjoy your blog a lot!
Hi, can you tell me please what is the brand for the shoes in the first picture? thank you
