Planet have spent considerable time and effort hand picking the very best accommodation, the best instruction and rental services and the best ground agents to be sure that you make the most of your stay. We appreciate that your holiday hours is precious to you and do not take the responsibility for your holiday arrangements lightly! This is especially important with this destination with so much on offer.
This is the nearest spot to Cape Town, a short 10 minute drive from the city centre. There is a good sized beach here with a nice shallow area for the first 50 metres, good for the less experienced. The rising tide here tends to be smaller than at the more Northerly destinations so it is good for Beg / Int as well as those wanting to try some easy wave sailing
Sunset Beach is one of the main windsurf locations with a good rising tide building with the wind in the late afternoon. There are no general facilities for the non-kitesurfer here unless you are staying at our Sunset Beach hotels which is right on the spot.
Another popular Kitesurf area and a favourite teaching zone with a very large open beach area. The beach here is one of the most astounding and good for non-surfers, with the facilities of the Dolphin Beach hotel and Café one site.
Langebaan is moreless one and a half hour drive from Cape Town up the coast. The wind here is often stronger than Cape Town area and offers super flat water condition which is perfect for freestyle junkies or beginners. There is a Windsurf and kitesurf school located here offering rental and instruction options. There are also many very good cafes and restaurants. This makes for an excellent day trip from Cape Town.
The best hours to visit South Africa is in their summer period from October through to March with the very best wind being from November through to February. The conditions are very reliable with wind speeds normally between 20 - 30 knots, the strongest wind coming between 2 and 6 in the evenings.

Bit hard to find. Not in the most pleasant neighborhood, and a wee bit of a walk to town (20 minutes). However, a pleasant small hotel with lots of amenities and friendly service. Free, delightful afternoon tea. Good hearty breakfast. Very pleasant poolside and lounge areas. English spoken by most of staff. Fantastic city and area!

Burma tops 'worst of the worst' list of human rights violators
Libya, just elected to the United Nations Human Rights Council, also appears on Freedom House's 'Worst of the worst' list of human rights violators.
Mike Segar/Reuters/File
The hit parade of the world's worst human rights violators is out, and it reads like a rap sheet of the usual suspects.
The "worst of the worst," as Washington-based human rights watchdog Freedom House calls them, is comprised of nine countries and one territory: Burma, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tibet (under Chinese jurisdiction).
What Freedom House calls "shameful" is that one of those "worst" – Libya – was just elected to the United Nations' premier human rights organization, the Human Rights Council. Moreover, three countries on the organization's expanded list of countries with only slightly better human-rights records – China, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia – are already members.

"Awesome recipe. I did not have noodles on hand so I used orzo. My DH is very fussy when it comes to soups and chowders. I took a bowl to work for lunch and figured I would get one more serving but my DH had beat me to the punch. This is a keeper.Thanks for sharing"
"This recipe is outstanding! I changed the water twice to make sure the Ham Shoulder was not salty. I added parsnips and turnip to list of vegetables. The meat was so tender and not salty and the veggies were perfect. Thanks so much for sharing."
"Wonderful sweet potato fry recipe. I cooked a little too long but we still goblled them up. Thanks for sharing."
"OMG...so very good. DH and I loved this sanwich. Wished I had made more. I used Marbled Rye because I did not have Sourdough on hand. This has been added to my cookbooks. Thanks so much for sharing."
"Such a nice recipe. The wine and lemon and Italian seasoning work so well together. Thanks for sharing. It is a keeeper."

You could say that we here at BUST HQ each have a sweet tooth (though that would probably be an understatement!) So when Twinkie Chan's new book Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies arrived to us, we were smitten. Not only are Twinkie's patterns super-cute, but her projects feature some of our favorite foods but in fashion form! Check out her book trailer (in which she shows how to crochet a cupcake scarf!) after the jump!
Twinkie Chan has been sharing her knitted novelties with the world since 2005, and her hard work has finally paid off with her forthcoming book. Personally, I love creative crafters and cupcakes [both real and crocheted] always brighten up my day.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This grill came recommended to us as the plates are removable, the cooking space is large enough to cook for a small gathering, there is a Timer and Variable Temp control(300 to 425) along with the drip tray, and plastic food scraper. Regrettably, this was the only only one left on the shelf and the included full cookbook has already been swiped out of the box, so WalMart wouldn't do anything to help us replace it. Luckily, I found a copy locally for $5 versus the $20 it retails for on the shelf. For our household, we have 2 on Weight Watchers and 1 on Low Carb, so the Foreman Grill is handy to have for both. With us on the go, one thing we love about it is the time it takes to cook the food. The User Guide that's provided has a chart of many foods and their recommended cooking temps along with times based on how well you want your food cooked. So far, we've found the chart to be on the "cook it longer" side, so we've lowered cooking time for burgers to so they come out juicy and cooked, not so well done as it drys out the meat. I like the variable temp so I can cook it hotter in less time, or cook it cooler for longer to get a full-through cooking on frozen foods. As a heads-up, the older GF Grill cookbooks recommended using cooking sprays on the grill itself. I do NOT recommended it. It starts to coat the grill and after a week, it took alot of scrubbing to get off. There is a George Foreman Yahoo! Group located at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/George_Foreman_Grill/ and they represent many users with different models including this one. The word is to not use the spray OR use olive oil OR to spray the food directly and not the grill so less actually gets coated on the grill. You can located spray bottles at a local store and fill it with olive oil to create a spray that won't harm your grill. Yes, cleaning it can be a breeze. Sometime I will simply wipe the big stuff off and throw it into the dishwasher and other times, I will wash it in the sink. It's hard to say how the dishwasher will impact the non-stick surface over time, so I do both. It's like any new kitchen appliance-you need to work with it to determine the best outcome desired. It feels sturdy and actually looks pretty sharp sitting on the counter in its black/silver tone.
Amount Paid (US$): 79

I'm curious to know how people would rate themselves with regard to tolerance for "visual clutter." By visual clutter, I don't just mean the stuff of life lying around -- magazines, toys, dishes, etc. waiting to be put away -- but the decor "stuff" -- beloved objects, decor items, busy patterns, lots of furniture. For instance, I lean toward bohemian style decorating, but sometimes too much is too much! Alternatively, I like modern architecture, but having absolutely nothing to look out or lying around seems unnatural to me. Scale: I'm about . . . a 6 or 7. What about you? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably a 5. And descending. |
- Posted by Violet.West (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 14:03
yeah, I think I'm descending also. I like cozy, lived-in looking rooms, but things can get too busy! |
Ditto, "5 and descending." Bedroom is a 1, for calm and clean and serenity. Living room is a 5, for fun and personality and character. |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 14:22
3.5, ascending. I am one of very few people who doesn't need to remove much to put a house on the market. Very few things on walls, etc. |
I am losing my hearing to Meniere's disease and I actually love "visual clutter". To me, when done well, it is musical. I am probably a 7 or higher. I am however very organized and have little to no misplaced papers or objects, for that type of clutter I have zero tolerance . |
A 2 and would be living in a 1 if my DH allowed it. I have always hated visual clutter. I admire rooms where people make a lot of things work especially a variety of patterns and colours, but I couldn't live in one. I don't even have patterns on the furniture or drapes and have a very simple geometric pattern on the area rug. |
I'm not sure how to rate myself, and know I'm descending, too but I prefer a warm cozy look, and love my cluttered chock-full glass door cabinets and barrister bookcases displaying special antiques, but only behind glass. Not a fan of a lot out on open surfaces. I tend to like a little more furniture than some, ok maybe a lot, but am sensitive to balance and scale....and although I like patterns, I reach the saturation point for me quickly with what I already have going on, so tend to use a lot of solids and textures....great thought provoking question....hmmmm. Maybe 6 3/4-71/2? But even adding one more thing can put me right over the threshold of my tolerance moving me from contentedness to discomfort! |
- Posted by outsideplaying (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 14:49
Depends on which room of our home you talk about. Bedrooms are probably a 3 (do we have to count our nightstands which have the normal stack of magazines or books, alarm clocks, glasses, etc?). Family room is a 6-7 and descending as soon as I get around to it again (it's up and down). The study which DH mostly uses, and which is also where I have my piano is half a 3-4 (my part) and half an 8 (his side). |
When I was selling my house last year, I went from an organized 7 to a 4 and loved it. But now that I am in my new place I am trying hard to stay closer to 4, but it is a battle. Probably am back to a 6. |
I've been probably at a 6 and am trying to get to a 3 or 4; trying to leave a table with nothing on it, or just one carefully selected object is challenge. The shelves have a ways to go, but a remodeling spree is a good way to purge. I've got boxes of stuff filling the garage, waiting for a yard sale or the trip to Goodwill. |
6 or 7... I love rooms with personality and fun! |
- Posted by sandyponder (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 15:19
I think I'm a 9, I like a lot of color, stuff on walls, texture and pattern and love the layered look, but to me it's not clutter, it's interest or, as lorbee said, personality. sandyponder |
- Posted by nancybee_2010 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 15:31
I think I'm about a 4 or 5, but definitely descending. Getting rid of stuff makes me happy! Of course, I'm keeping my favorite things. Also, I'm sick of dusting. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 15:38
I'd say 4 and descending. I don't like totally minimal, but I had clutter, visual or otherwise. I'm the one who turns off the radio in the car rather than listening to "aural clutter". I'd like it if my very large kitchen island had nothing on it but a bowl of fruit. I can't stand looking at TV walls that are surrounded by pictures. But I do have a large bookshelf (new) on which I've laid out all of our tchotkes. However, they're concentrated, so I'm okay with it! |
- Posted by robotropolis z6a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 16:03
7 and holding fast...I love my retro tchotkes! But I am too lazy to layer b/c folding, plumping and arranging all that stuff takes work. I grew up in a house with zero decorating so I think I relish even more having stuff out. My parents followed the Dave Barry school of home neglect - "If we were birds, our nest would consist of a single twig with the eggs attached via Scotch tape." |

"I'd say 4 and descending. I don't like totally minimal, but I had clutter, visual or otherwise. I'm the one who turns off the radio in the car rather than listening to "aural clutter"." Ditto on the radio! I would also say I'm a 3-4. Visual (or auditory) clutter, to me, is very overwhelming. I don't like contemporary or modern design, but I like the minimalism of it. I also gravitate towards items that are functional as my sparse "decor" (eg, throws that are actually used, lamps, plants, etc.) |
- Posted by nancybee_2010 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 16:48
I hate auditory clutter too! I especially dislike the music in grocery stores. I don't want to hear stuff like "You Don't Impress Me Much" by Shania Twain for the thousandth time, or "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About"-- UGH! I could go on- old Bob Seger tunes, Whitney Houston so LOUD on "I Will Always Love You"... There are so many songs that I just don't need forced on me! Sorry, rant over. |
- Posted by TheRedHouse (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:01
I think I'm probably at the lower end of the scale right now, but for me, so much depends on the space itself. In an open floor plan, especially one that isn't very big, or without much storage, I need a more minimalist decor. My brain can't easily separate the kids' school stuff or other household odds and ends from the lovely decorative items. I look around, see lots of stuff, some of which I know is headed for the recycle bin, and I get uneasy. Therefore, I limit the decorative items - 'cause I know the minute I recycle those school papers and projects, they'll bring home a whole new stack. That said, I often enjoy photos of layered rooms. I like the warmth and the depth. I love color and pattern and small beautiful objects. I think my tolerance for visual richness could increase dramatically in a space that had self-contained rooms as well as dedicated spaces and storage for those kid/pet/household items that are currently keeping me on the lower end of the scale. |
- Posted by Violet.West (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:07
Ha! I guess I'm a 9 on the auditory clutter scale -- I always have to have white noise. A fan, music in the car, a CD of birds and rain, ocean sounds, an actual white noise machine at night. Or some combo thereof. :) |
- Posted by laurie_2008 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:12
I'd say around 3. Generally speaking, I like simplicity. |
I'm about a 4, I think. I love cozy touches opposed to sterile modern decor, but less is more works for me. My son & DIL have lived in Denmark for 5 yrs. When we first visited I found Danish homes somewhat stark, but over time I've really come to appreciate the clean lines, colors, woods, and functionality that are common in Scandinavian design. I live in New England and it reminds me of Shaker design, which I've always been drawn to. I like looking at all types of home decor, but I wouldn't choose to live in a space that was fussy, ornate and multi-layered. |
- Posted by NashvilleBuild42 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:27
Im mixed. Our study is rather cluttered: books, artwork, leather sofa, tartan wing backs, rugs, blankets, floor pillows. Everything is about texture and layer in our study. A English professor meets Ralph Lauren vibe, iykwim? I love it. It is probably an 8. OTOH, every other room except the playroom is a 3-3.5. I love those rooms just as much I could never live in a house where every room was a 6 or higher but one or two would be fine. |
My husband is a 8 and I am a 3-4. The older I get, the more I descend. I like things clean and the more you have, the more to dust and clean! Also, I am learning to edit myself and keep things that either have sentimental value or help me complete the room's theme and warmth/coolness. The only place where I may ascend in clutter is on the walls. I don't have a wall of pictures but I love them! |
- Posted by finallyhome (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:33
6 to 7 and descending. Really want a minimalist look, but don't think i'll ever get there. |
Just curious for those who rank themselves on the lower end of the scale, do you count architectural elements as "visual clutter" for I am including my love of them in my high score. To me a 3 room would certainly not have crown moldings, high coffered ceilings, medallions, etc. I thought the scale reflected visual stimulation rather than actually clutter. Maybe we should link an example of a room that we see as a 10, 5 and 1 for a more accurate understanding of what is meant by our interpretation of the question. To me my dining room is a bit higher than my preferred 7, I rate this room 9 in this pic, I have since changed the ring curtains to back tab ones and raised the rod, which interestingly enough brings the room IMO down to an 8. |
- Posted by sheesharee (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 17:54
I'd say I'm around a 5. However, the more stuff that comes in for our child (clothes, toys, whatever), the more suffocated I feel; it doesn't matter if my stuff is decorating related or not. It just makes me want to throw everything out. I was in the attic today making a pile to donate. |
My living room is what I would rate on the scale a six, Til yesterday I would have given it a five but we added window seats with a patterned texture so it is now a six, but it is very tone on tone and quiet I think without being minimalistic. With this room, although I like it, I really want to live in it up a bit, someone just suggested yellow pillows and with those this ,to me ,might hit my preferred 7 + rating. |
I have no 1 rooms in my home:), but a one is just void of interest, not minimalist , for that, well done, is very interesting and can be much higher than a 5..... a 1 is just plain in my interpretation of the scale. Clear the coffee table and take a way the curved archway and here is what I call a 1. |
I do consider architectural details part of the visual clutter but in most cases these are not "in your face". The contrast between the red and all the white trim calls attention to the architectural detail and makes the room busy. Also the snow flake effect on the corner curio is distracting. As someone who Is descending in visual clutter, I would not highlight the trims,or the back of the curio, and would not have anything on top of the table unless I had some heirloom candlesticks. I would also not have small pictures or pillows. Use pictures as focal point over a buffet server but not to fill space between trims. Let the table, rug, and curtains be the attention. IMPO! |
Roarah - for me, your DR would probably be a 7-8. To be a 9 it would have a runner on the table, patterned curtains and coloured lampshades. If you want to take the level down a bit take the lampshades off the chandelier and see what happens WRT to the second picture - now you are defining what a 1 is and we all have different definitions on the scale. If you take the clutter off the coffee table, the curved archway (and the pillows) out for me that isn't a 1, it isn't even a room. I don't know if this will work but here is a room in similar colours to the one you posted but this is minimalistic and for me stunning |

Good question! I am an 8 but it must be perfection ( as how I define it), anything less drops notches. I think of 10 as one of chijims way-over-the-top rooms and 8 as multi layered patterns but not cluttery, if that makes sense. Hoarders anything is not on the chart, btw. |
- Posted by 1929Spanish (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 18:50
I rank high - maybe an 8.5, but I don't like meaningless stuff. The visual clutter in my surroundings is family art, things I've found on trips, things that have been passed down, and books. Our house is otherwise neutral - painted in Behr Sandbox with neutral color furniture, with the exception of our bathroom walls and green kitchen cabinets. The key for me is that the clutter have an association with something special rather than coming from Homegoods. That being said I love farting around in Homegoods and spend my money there on kitchen stuff and linens! ;) |
This calibration to me is interesting. To me, the blfenton link was more of a 2. There was still stuff around. This is may be closer to a 1, although the windows add to visual clutter: To me, this is a 8 or 9 - more window treatments and a rug would push it to a 10. Though the shelves are already there. Quite possibly a 10, or a pillow or two short: A 10? |
- Posted by Violet.West (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 19:25
Well, the scale is of course pretty subjective. I tend to agree with gooster above. The second pic (8 or 9) makes me happy. |
- Posted by 1929Spanish (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 19:35
Okay...based in the Gooster Scale, I'm closer to a 6.5. I feel better about that. |
Thank you for the clarification Sconway. It helps me understand how others are defining their thresholds and also how others define visual clutter. Now Blfelton, your posted example to me would be a 4 or 5 for it has a lot for my eyes to take in but is still simple. The tightly spaced lines on the wall mixed with the dichotomy of the extra large square floor tiles is very stimulating thus add interest, or "clutter" even though the furnishings are sparse. |
Sorry I put my DD to bed and came back and posted and missed a lot in between. Gooster, your scale works well for me too. But your first room is to lovely with the view and architecture for me to give a 1. For to me a 1 has no visual stimulation at all and that room simply interests me. |
I guess my rooms fall around 8 on the scale. I like mixed patterns, colors and textures, ornate moldings and curated collections on display. I tend to like one quiet element, though, to ground the room, like neutral walls or neutral upholstery on some large furniture pieces. That said, I want the rooms to be tidy with no misplaced stuff just laying around. I also enjoy the high contrast look of wood and white that characterizes Scandinavian design, Shaker design and others, but I've yet to have a house that is decorated like that. I agree with other posters that auditory clutter bothers me much more than visual clutter. I never have the television or music on if I'm not specifically engaged in watching/listening to it. |
- Posted by mlweaving_Marji (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 20:28
I used to be pretty close to an 8 or 9. I consider Mario Buatta, Miles Redd and that style of decorating visually stimulating and something like this would rate my 10 When it's well done, it's very effective, but too often it's not well done. This to me would rate about a 3, while there is a lot of "Stuff" around, it's so washed of color that it doesn't read busy at all. This too rates about a 3 on my scale - and I'm trying to rate only within the context of traditional style since it's easy to find minimalistic modern. There is just so much empty space here. Doesn't click my "cluttered" button. So I guess I'm going to say I'm about a 6 now. Coming down from a solid 8-9. |
Most of my house is a 3 or 4....except I score my husband's office at about a 12. ML |
- Posted by runninginplace (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 21:06
I like to be in the 2-3 zone. My house probably won't ever get there, at least not until or unless I"m living in it alone and for many reasons that's not a goal I particularly long for! I guess we run around a 4-5 in the house as a whole. |
I was thinking I was maybe an 8 until I saw gooster's scale. Now I think 6-7. But as some others have said, it depends on the room. My master bedroom might be a 3. My dining room/library, with bookshelves filled with books and tchotchkes, is probably 8-9. I am very comfortable with a certain amount of visual clutter, as long as it's not junk or truly what I call "clutter" -- stacks of paper, mail, dishes in the sink...I have no tolerance for that kind of clutter. But some books stacked on a table, interesting travel souvenirs, lots of art on the walls, pottery, framed photos, interesting things to look at -- all good, IMO. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 21:31
Great visuals mlweaving! and I agree with your scaling mostly although I think there are rooms with more cohesive stuff that work making the ten you posted my nine. |

I'd say I'm more than likely a five or at the very least working toward it. Although the console table in the Ladies Parlor is more like a seven or eight. It's mostly natural items I've collected from our land and on travels. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 22:50
For me, these are 1... For me, this is a 9 This is a 10 This is about a 12 |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 0:04
A number of these pictures would be "off the scale" for me - 12 on a scale of 1-10. They raise my blood pressure just looking at the pictures LOL. |
Annie -- yes, much better examples of a 1 -- when you have a living space like the one I selected, you end up getting windows interfering with the nothingness. I wonder if someone paid a good design fee to have a white towel hung like in Pic #2. I find it hard to settle on what is a five. I'm thinking I want to be a five, but Ive been floating around 7--> 6. I could not live with 1. It would make me OCD. |
Oh, I am definitely about a 3...I get really claustrophobic and "itchy" if there is too much stuff. My eyes need some blank spaces to breathe. Plus...I really believe that having less makes the items you do have shine more. I have always preferred traditional decor, which typically isn't minimal, but as my taste has evolved and I have become (perhaps more sophisticated? Definitely more educated...) I have become ruthless about not having items in my home that arent "special" in someway. If the art I want for a certain spot isn't in my budget at that point, I'd prefer a blank wall to buying something at Home Goods just to fill it. So while this gives our home which we had built 2 years ago a somewhat "in process" look...I really love it. In fact, as I find pieces to add, I get a little nervous when installed as it immediately looks "cluttered" to me! I call in my ID for a little pep talk, and she puts my mind at ease, lol! Oh, and Phobe Howard's style is my inspiration. Her rooms never look over-decorated to me. |

I must be a 4 compared to what the pics are. Visual can be very personal trying to pick a number. Annie, those busy rooms are off the scale for me and the pantry gives me a headache. Mlweaving, your first 3 pic would be lower for me. Except for the filled coffee table which eludes my thinking compared to to room as a whole. I couldn't live in a room like it, too many walls, so maybe you are closer. The last pic would work for me except the mirror corner and corner right next to it in the next room. I'd make them go away comfort wise. Then the room would be work well personally. With this scale is the fact I always loved RLs layers of yore in plaids/mixed patterns and will always love his trailer. Pulling off this decor wouldn't happen at my end, it takes a unique decorator. I've recently been saddened by memories of so many things let go of due to family loss. But this scale consideration has given me appreciation for making most of those decisions. Collections crammed together would be a 10. I think there are still boxes stored which would be a 10 and why they haven't been gone through. Moving was never an issue for me in the past, opening up boxes was like finding forgotten treasures. It is interesting many are stating heading down on the scale. I'm over pillows (except my BD) and drapes for decor. And with so much stuff in rooms shown, how does someone find anything? Dusting less is part of the scale, but it used to be a time to revisit loved memories. |

How much there is to dust would generally be a way of measuring the scale...except for the #10 room above which is actually reasonably sparse in terms of items, but completely OTT on patterns. I think this for me would be a 5...something on each surface but not too much...room for some pattern, texture and window treatments, but plenty of ease for the eye. Also a rhythm to the room so it feels cohesive. This would be a 6...the accessories are a bit strong due to their scale. |

Gooster and Annie, I think both posted good visuals for 1 vs 10. While I would hate living in the 1, a 10 would be too much for me. I'm more of a 4 or 5. I'm not sure why, but for me a potted plant on the floor or sitting on a table adds to the visual clutter as well as all those photos on the wall ! |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 9:40
i'm probably a 3 or 4. I would prefer a few overscale things than lots of little knick-knacks. The only exception might be a wall of built in bookcases...but I would loathe dusting them! DH likes house plants but more than two becomes visual clutter to me. He'd put 10 little pots on an end table if I let him. Give me just one, large potted palm as opposed to table plants. |
Something I haven't seen mentioned is what views are seen from a room. We had occasion to stay in a condo in the heart of Boston that probably would rate as a "2" on most people's scales. Way too minimalist for my taste generally, but it felt perfect in the midst of all the sights and activity visible from each large window. I also feel the same when I'm in a room that looks out to a vibrant garden area. In many instances the surroundings account for much of the visual and auditory elements in a room. |
I would have said my LR is an 8 until I saw these pics and now I'm rating it no higher than 5. While I think I have quite a lot of things I have little pattern in my LR so it's comparatively calm and no bookshelves filled with stuff like some of those rooms. My bedroom is a 6 as I have several patterns there and a lot of family photos but still fairly restful 'clutter-wise'. While Miles Redd, Charlotte Moss, Bunny Williams, and Ralph Lauren have all been inspirational to me I've never amassed the number of decorative accessories and art necessary to have my house look like that. Or at least unless I used every decorative accessory I own all at once which I couldn't do. The only way it could happen is if I somehow acquired full-time live in cleaning staff and that's not a lifestyle I would ever want. Even then I could never live with that amount of visual stimulation in every room in my house. Lovely to look at in pictures but perhaps not IRL. |

I could be very happy in the first of Annie's two pictures posted at 7:37. In the second one, that yellow throws me for a loop - it's just not right! |
I am a 3 moving down the scale as I get older and less likey to want to move everything in the room to wash walls every year. I have noticed that I seem to need to be able to see threw the room to be happy with it . A room that is visually blocked reads cluttered to me no matter how minimal the rest of the decore is. My dh just did that too our living room by moving the couch across the room so when I walk into the house the first thing I see is a full view of the back of the couch. When I had two arm chairs with a open end table between them it didn,t feel closterphobick like it does now. |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 23:02
If the room w/yellow pillows is a 6, I would say it's pretty much where I'm at, minus the small table tchotchkes. I would opt for a rug w/a bit of pattern, since that's the only pattern in the majority of my rooms, the area rug. A couple of pattern pillows would also be ok, but not in bright colors, and a dark, rather than light background, but I don't think that's the direction the decorator is taking. I can identify w/Williams and Moss, and even Charles Faudree, although he uses way too many small tchotchkes. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 23:11
The architecture, the main focus of this room, provides most of the "visual clutter" yet, removing about half of the junk on the flat surfaces would drop it from a 9 to a comfortable 8 and I could easily live with it. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 23:40
There is just so much I could not live with in that room, starting with the ruffled skirt on the couch (I don't like ruffles on anything or anyone that's more than a year old :-)). I'd have to remove almost everything on those end tables, and move the chair away from the couch by several feet to make it liveable. It makes me claustrophobic, and that's hard to do in a room with those gorgeous soaring ceilings! |

Interesting that, when I think of cluttered, I tend to think of a particular style such as shabby chic or victorian....but there can be cluttered contemporary rooms... and sparse traditionals rooms... |
O my my my....I hope this link works. Do not be fooled by the exterior shots. I would rate every room 10+ + + + + + + http://search.har.com/engine/4302-Colony-West-Dr-Richmond-TX-77406_HAR20308496.htm |

eek. Very nice house, but yeah, mucho overkill, although some of it is Christmas decor. Even the exterior -- I don't like all those busy different roof lines. |

I'm going to say 6.5, with nice accessories. Piles of stuff and everything mis-matched....about a 3. |
- Posted by antiqueannie (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 13:13
Overall I would say I am a 6, I have descended from an 8 or so. My kitchen I like at probably a 4 - less is more in the kitchen. However, I love the Eclectic Home Office above, I could see myself enjoying a room like that full of my collections, but it would have to be limited to one room. |
- Posted by Violet.West (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 13:29
had to go back and look for the "eclectic home office" -- about half that stuff would be fine for me. I don't like bare walls, but all that stuff is too much. books -- always visual clutter, but comforting that's not a pantry--that's a collection. guys, you can't have "off the scale" rooms, lol! By definition, those would be 10. (so sayeth me) |

Talk about a place in need of staging! Why do I think that the Xmas stuff is up all year round? |
- Posted by antiqueannie (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 14:53
Oh that house is a 10, gives me a very unsettled feeling. Way too much stuff Probably not at all the same as the house listed, but my mom leaves her Christmas tree up all year. She says it is because she likes the tree a lot, but I really think it has to do with her late husband who was a big Christmas tree fan, he helped decorate the tree when it was put up last. It has been up for over 10 years, despite family offering to help her with taking it down and putting it back up again. Thankfully the rest of her house is about a 7. |

Well, if the house o' mannequins is a 10, I guess my house is only a 7 or so. However, I am not done yet, and if I find something new I like to put up on the wall, I do, and make room for it. Also, I never, ever think about how hard something is to clean before I buy or acquire it, I guess because I hate to clean so don't allow cleaning thoughts into my head. Here is my LR, the most layered room in the house, although the EIK is now a close second.... Great discussion, and I really appreciate the sharing of pics, I'd love to see more pics of people's homes and what you think your "score" is. sandyponder |
What is the deal with mannequins? In our last neighborhood a house at the entrance had a mannequin "dinner party" prominently displayed and lit in their dining room. In our new town, at a nice house near the beach, there is a mannequin wearing a fishing hat sitting right in front of a giant picture window. What the heck? |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 18:43
That house is gross- and yet so much potential-, and what is it with the dollies, mirrors and birds? on the stairway? One of my pet peeves, btw, ( aside from dollies attached to picture frames ) is the unbalance that comes from too much stuff on the floor and not enough stuff "up". |
Over the years I've really pared down. Perhaps too far because now I'm at about a 4 but I want to be a 6. Looking at these pics, that seems the most comfortable to me. |

I guess I'm a 2. And constantly battling with DH who simply cannot STAND to see a bare surface. He's always putting something on it - a newspaper, glasses, fingernail clippers, his hat, etc. Now that I think about it, of all the textiles in my home (drapes, curtains, upholstered furniture, rugs, pillows, comforters, sheets, towels, etc.), I have 2 chairs that have a very tiny print, 1 shower curtain with a muted plaid, and 1 area rug with a traditional pattern. EVERYTHING ELSE is one solid color. Gee. I guess I really am a 2. Now mentally I'm going through my closet . . . . . . |

Did you know that the most expensive movie to be created ever is Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds's End? The estimated cost to produce it was $300.000.000! A lot of people watch this movie!
Did you know that the most expensive movie flop in the history is Cutthroat Island (from 1995), total cost was $115.000.000 but it only earned back around $18.500.000! Well we think this movie will soon take the second place now when Brad Pitt's movie World War Z has been released since they have already spent over $200.000.000 just to re-write and re-shoot the FINAL ACT! Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)
Big news! It has just been announced that in June 2015 the first movie in a new TERMINATOR trilogy will be released! This is specially awesome since Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a part in it!

Fighting Brain Cancer May Require Targeting Normal Brain Cells
Glioma, a type of brain cancer, often returns because invasive cells are not killed by standard treatments. In a review, Dominique Hoelzinger, Ph.D., of the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Phoenix and colleagues discuss current therapies for glioma that affect communication between tumor cells and neighboring normal cells. The authors suggest that these neighboring cells in normal brain tissue could be potential targets for therapies because they are less likely to develop resistance than glioma cells.
A better understanding of the influence of tumors on their microenvironment could lead to therapies that target the more genetically stable normal cells that surround the glioma rather than the genetically unstable tumor cells themselves, which invariably develop resistance to therapy, the authors write.

With his proven People Resource Planning theory as the foundation, Joe founded the company, TEDS, Inc., and launched the first Learning Management System (LMS) in 1989. The TEDS system was soon in use around the globe by world-class companies in diverse lines of business.
Joe and his staff continued to improve the system by adding what are now considered basic elements of Talent Management. Competency Management - based on employee roles, tasks and competencies - was the first major non-traditional LMS module to be added. Competency Management was followed by Performance Management. Tuition Aid Management - virtually unique in Learning Management Systems - was incorporated into the software system as was a robust capability for managing all facilities and materials associated with learning. Recruiting/staffing, succession, compensation and workforce management followed utilizing Joe's vision and the best practices of customers and members of the TEDS Consortium.
Originally, the acronym TEDS represented Training, Education and Development System. The breadth and scope of the TEDS software system outgrew its original descriptor but the name was retained, both for the company and its software.

Re: Starkey: The jokes on the Steelers
All I can say about this offence. It is the worst I have seen in many many years. Why don't you just look at who we played. We could barely move the ball on the Chiefs; even before Ben got hurt. How many teams have played them after we have and lit up there d. We made the Chargers look like a playoff team. No matter who you want to blame; the end of the day; the coaches are responsible for that predictable disaster you call an offence. Did Ben throw the picks?? Ya. Should we have been tied 10 10 at that point? Fuck no!! Heck after the interception on the first play of the third quarter; we should have just kicked a field goal and not let Haley fuck up the play calling to take us out of field goal range. Haley is pathetic. he knew the Steelers could not run the ball but predictably he ran on 1st and 2nd downs so many times this year that he took momentum away from his own offence. This offence should have been designed like the old colts with Manning. Spread them out and attack. Run at them as a surprise. Until we get our oline to dominate and a feature back; we can't play like the STEELERS used to play. Haley failed to use his strengths on offence. And please people with the last minute stuff. The offence should be doing a lot more than 10 points with 40 seconds left then flip a switch and ask your qb to go out there and win the game for you!!

I may be paranoid after a loss of data a couple of years ago with a virus that got through Bullguard security, and before the time when (as now) I do ATI backups. I agree it is a bit OTT but my 18 year old grand daughter - normally bright and about to go to Uni, had a laptop full of malware, viruses etc. I suspect Facebook and other sites and downloads of Trojans in "free" downloads. My data is not sensitive, but I like to keep protected - maybe too keenly!

I have to agree with JB once you have been infected you do not want it to happen again so a bit of overkill is not a bad thing.
I have found out on here that most of them that say I only have such and such of a Security program forget to say that they have Acronis in the background just in case they do get infected.
So what they are really saying is they do have more than one security program on board even though it is called Acronis.
There is not one Security program out there that will keep you Virus free,
I suppose there are folk that have that have not had their computer compromised by a virus or Malware but they must be few and far between.
I also find that the free versions of security programs will not stop the drive by Malware that download on to your computer when surfing the internet that is why you need a good Anti Malware program with full time protection.
The downside to to much protection is if you are on and old computer it will tend to run a bit slower but better safe than sorry I would say.
Just a matter of interest is there anyone out there that has only got the one security program and does not have the likes of Acronis in the background and has never had their computer infected.
If so download update and give malwarebytes a run just for a second opinion and if no infections found I will say well done for having gone so long virus free.

I have been infected in the past,the distant past, but I too only use a free antivirus MSE and Malwarebytes and I only scan after I have downloaded something as a torrent (Legit stuff)and I cannot remember when I last had an infection.
I do not use Acronis or any other imaging software as I see no point in imaging all the rubbish one accumulates. It is much simpler to have separate hard-drives for operating system and programs (SSD) and another couple for everything else and in my case a NAS drive for a backup taken care of by Goodsync with dropbox looking after my documents.
If things do go wrong, or you upgrade a motherboard, then it is relatively painless to reinstall Windows and programs and the odd non Steam game in my case.

I use very few anti-wares, and not a combination of the same or similar program, but the ones I regard as being 'highly recommended and free'. On my main use computer, Avast and SuperAntiSpyware.
In all the years I have been 'computer surfing', I have only had two real concerns about infections, and those seemed to have been caused by an error of redirection to porn sites. In the first case Avast came to the rescue, and in the second case (very recent) I apparently did a mistake by not inserting a dot in a browser address for my banking and was directed to adult 'multiple chat' websites. The irony of the last error or security issue, was I contacted the bank, and they didn't appear to be interested, just another stupid customer's fault to them?.

It usually costs me about £35 a year for my security programs and that is with shopping around to get the best prices.
To me £35 well spent.If I try to open a bad site it is blocked immediately or some of the contents is blocked.
Both find and stop problems but it is my Anti-malware program that stops most.
I do not go into bad sites intentionally just normal sites waiting to download some nastie on to your computer.
Like Chronos the 2nd says probably cheaper just reformatting your computer but it is the time it take.
Restored my other computer back to factory settings a couple of weeks ago and it took ages to get it back up and running the way I wanted it.

You get that on the Pro Version of Malwarebytes I believe and it is only a one off payment for it.

A couple of hours tops, but I have it down to a fine art. All my program .EXE are saved elsewhere along with Ninite, and OS reinstall is very quick as I have SP1 slipstreamed into Windows 7. Compared to an XP reinstall Windows 7 is positively child's play.

Hello! My DH has been slowly working on our master bathroom remodel for about a year now. He is practically finished with the shower, but the small window is stumping us. It was the only window in our small bathroom, so we chose to keep it, plus it faces south so is nice for my indoor plants.
Here is how he tiled around it: What do can we do about the gap between the tiles and (what I think is) the window frame? In the old shower, there were some vinyl strips that the window installation guys put up between the gap and the old FRP shower walls. Do we need to find new vinyl strips or is there a better option? Thanks so much!!! Melanie |

I used Corian in my bath window. Looks like painted wood, however it's impervious to water and will not rot. |

Glenwood705 -- we like Corian, have it as counter in our kitchen and are considering it for when we replace the bathtub in the main bath. How would I order strips of it for around the window? Can we just custom order it from a dealer? |

We too have a window in the shower of our 1890's Victorian. At first I disliked it, and thought it was crazy to have a window in the bath... but now that I've gotten used to it, I LOVE it. Especially in the summer... like an outdoor shower. What we (ok, husband) did was to frame out the window opening and line it up with the wedi board, so that when the tile is installed, it connects directly into the window itself. Maybe you could look for a matching trim piece in your tile family. If you google images of tile quarter round, you might get some ideas of how you could use a thin piece of tile to trim out the gap. Or maybe another term is pencil trim? My husband needed a very thin piece to edge out a corner in another bath, and he trimmed down some of the curved-edge molding, and it worked perfectly. Good luck! The details of renovating a bathroom are enough to drive you crazy! |

Thank you for the suggestion to use tile -- that's what my DH wanted to do, initially (I forgot about that). I don't think my DH could find anything that would work, but he was shopping directly at Home Depot or Lowes, and they don't have a huge selection. I'll look online for tile quarter round/pencil trim. |

Read The Full Police Statement From Chris Brown's Accident Victim
Celebuzz obtains the statement Olga Gure-Kovalenko gave to police after the alleged car accident with Chris Brown.
Olga Gure-Kovalenko, who was allegedly caught in a unfortunate fender bender which led to hit-and-run charges against the troubled R&B star, gave her account to the Los Angeles Police in the days after the incident on May 21.
In her statement, obtained by Celebuzz, the clearly shaken woman gives a play-by-play of the run-in deets in the moments before and after the alleged accident with Brown and his on-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran, where she describes being struck by a "big black car" and the driver (Brown) as "scary looking covered with tattoos."
Although Gure-Kovalenko goes on to note the 24-year-old superstar as "polite," her tone takes a dramatic turn when she says Brown continued to get "nervous" and when she took a photo of the couple they went "ballistic," with the "Run It!" going into a profanity-laced tirade.
And it was only days after the infamous couple drove away "fast and noisy" that a private investigator stopped by Gure-Kovalenko's home with Brown's insurance information.
The following is Gure-Kovalenko's statement in its entirety:
"On 5/21/2013 around 12:30 PM I was driving on Barham Blvd. towards Burbank. I stopped on a red light on the intersection with Forest Loan [sic] in a left line (not the left-turn line). Being in a full stop for few seconds, I felt a boom. I got rear-ended. I looked in a rear view mirror and saw a big black car. I told it to my husband on a phone and he instructed me to be calm and just exchange the information. In a left mirror and saw a driver getting out of the car that hit me. He was scary looking covered with tattoos. I was shaken since it was my first ever car accident. I opened the window and the guy sad that he is sorry and we should pull over to not to disturb traffic. He was polite. He drove around me on a left and I followed him to the curb on a right just past the intersection. I parked behind him and got out of the car. At this moment he got out of his car and a girl came out of the passenger side. We took pictures of my car and I took a picture of his car from the rear. The girl said to exchange phone numbers, I gave mine but she did not give hers. I asked for DL [driver's license] insurance and registration and she gave me a DL.
"I snapped a picture of it then I realized it was her DL. I asked for the driver's DL, but the girl got nervous and said that this is her car, so all I need is her DL. Again I asked for the driver's DL, insurance and registration. They got in a car and seem looking for something in different compartments. I did not hear their conversation. Then he let me make a picture of some paper, that later I saw was an expired registration for some Lamborghini, after what I asked for the driver's paperwork again. The girl continued to repeat that this is her car and it doesn't matter who was driving, so her DL is good enough. The guy seemed to getting nervous. I realized that something is wrong and snapped a picture of them just in case. And then they went ballistic: the girl started to scream, 'She took a picture', the guy tried to grab camera or me, I jumped back, the girl screamed 'Don't touch her, don't touch her'. The guy screamed,
"'You are a b***h! Who do you think you are, b***h? Do you think if you driving Mercedes so got money, b***h? Do you think I am just a black n*****? I got more money than you, beech!' And so on. I was so shocked, that I was speechless. Just a moment ago he was a nice guy. After screaming some insulting nonsense for a while longer, he slammed a door and drove away fast and noisy.
"When I got home, I had such a headache and felt so dizzy, that I napped for several hours. I waked [sic] up feeling no better. On a phone my mom, a nurse, told me to take a blood pressure. I usually have 90/60. At this time I had 160/90. My husband was at work, I was alone, I was thinking of the accident and the insult over and over again. I have never been insulted so badly. I was on a phone with my mom for hours crying.
"When my husband came home, he comforted me and I fall [sic] asleep. Next day my blood pressure was my normal, 90/60, but I felt no better. I spend most of the day alone, thinking of what happened. At some pint [sic] my friend texted me 'What happened?' I asked how did she know, she said 'This is on Internet, do you know who he is?' I said 'No', then I looked it up and realized who he was. I was expecting that they would call with insurance info since I gave my number and they did not, I didn't want to make any noise about that, I just wanted to get over it and fix my car.
"Couple of days past and I realized that no one will call and I went to the police. Another couple of days later [a] private detective came by with insurance info.
"My husband will take the car for the estimate tomorrow, since he is busy at work and I will forward the estimate right after."
Celebuzz spoke with Gure-Kovalenko's attorney Freddy Sayegh, who insists his client is not seeking financial gain.
"The damage wasn't extensive. Everything was submitted to the insurance company. It wasn't meant for publicity," said Sayegh.
"It should have been simple. She is not trying to make a big deal out of this."

Of all the products at Alabama Solar Film, including window films, decorative films, and security laminates, the staff is probably most partial to the clear bra paint-protection film. Cut by hand to fit any area of a vehicle, the film acts as a transparent, protective barrier from road debris, UV light, hazardous weather, and pterodactyl droppings. In addition to this stealthy paint protectant, Alabama Solar Film specializes in auto detailing services that range from shampooing seats and floor mats to cleaning windows and engines. Besides its many automotive services, the company also spruces up homes with high-quality tinted films for architectural applications, which can lower home energy bills while protecting precious interiors or punishing rambunctious plants.
Founder Anthony Serio and his family have been revivifying rides at Anthony's Car Wash and Detail Centers since 1969. Using products manufactured in deep space by Anthony's Automotive Detail Supply, they clean vehicles during detailing and full-service car washes, handing out complimentary scrubs to birthday drivers. They've also stockpiled various accessories, coffee, snacks, and soft drinks for purchase.
All locations serve cars with washes, details, and oil changes, but each has its own specialty. Mechanics at the Vestavia Hills shop stage automotive services for drivers who need to rotate tires or translate the shrieks from squeaky brakes into English. Shoe-shining services and an upstairs hair salon (A Cut Above) accessible by spiral staircase add character to Anthony's main branch in Hoover.
From services centers dotted across 10 states, the ASE-certified technicians at Express Oil Change have confidently tweaked the engine systems, brakes, and tires of broken-down rides for more than three decades. The oil changes, performed in speedy 10-minute windows, keep vehicles running smoothly on commutes, road trips, or marathon quests for rare Pringles flavors, and a commitment to quality work, friendliness, and integrity helps ensure that customers never feel pressured to purchase a service or add-on.
A locally owned, full-service station, Crown - Pit Crew Tires, Fuel, and Service operates under the direction of Billy Misso. The station boasts a staff of technicians with more than 60 years of combined experience servicing and repairing cars. The group pools its talents together to provide a wide range of maintenance duties, from oil changes and air-conditioning repairs to brake inspections, windshield washes, and computer troubleshooting.
Since 1988, Auto Care Super Saver has been helping car owners save cash with maintenance punch cards redeemable at local auto shops throughout the course of a full year. These cards come loaded with all kinds of prepaid services, including at least three full-service oil changes with up to 5 quarts of oil, lube, and a new filter. Depending on the location, punch cards may also feature tire rotations, brake inspections, engine-light readings, air-conditioning performance tests, and other repairs and inspections essential to a car's well-being. Customers can transfer the punch card's benefits to any ride, ranging from station wagons to sports cars to feral merry-go-round mounts.
Although they don't wear white lab coats and stethoscopes, the technicians at Acme Muffler LLC are experts at diagnosing maladies. For more than a quarter of a century, the professionals have welcomed cars and trucks into their intimate garage, where they run diagnostics tests to determine if the vehicle needs repairs or is faking to get a day off from school. In addition to pinpointing and remedying the problems plaguing a muffler, exhaust system, breaks, or air conditioner, the operation also provides basic maintenance services, including oil changes and new tires, to help healthy vehicles stay as fit as possible.

IT Services for Long Term Care Providers In the rapidly evolving world of Long Term Care, many providers find they are spending an ever larger portion of their time dealing with IT related issues. The Federal and State initiatives for Electronic Medical Records will add to this situation. The emergence of Accountable Care Organizations and Bundled Payment Initiatives will dramatically change the reimbursement landscape. Efficient management of information, and the ability to securely share it with other care providers is essential. While the benefits of Electronic Health Records are substantial, providers are faced with the daunting tasks of managing a 24/7/365 IT operation. Configuring a server farm, managing software updates, database administration, system security, redundancy, data backups, etc. is quite expensive and time consuming. Healthcare System Connections can assist you with all phases of these tasks.
We can provide software, networks, technical assistance, training, support, HIPAA consulting and MDS consulting to help you maximize your return on technology investment. We provide complete Electronic Health Record and Interoperability solutions for post-acute providers, including Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Facilities, Personal Care Homes and Institutional Pharmacies.
Our software modules include Admissions, Census, CPOE, eMAR/eTAR, Assessments and Progress Notes for all disciplines, CNA charting, Physician documentation, MDS, Care Plans, Assisted Living/Personal Care Assessments, Service Plans, Care Notes and more. We also have active, bi-directional integrations with Pharmacies, Labs, Radiology and Therapy Providers. We even have modules specifically designed to help you manage hospital readmissions.
Give us a call today to find out how we can help you manage all of your Electronic Health Record needs.
